Aakash (Sky) Arya

Sky started practicing yoga and karate in India at the age of 7 and was awarded a black belt in karate and gold medal in karate Shiai (試合) and Yoga competition at 20 and 21 respectively. He was handpicked by a local yoga & karate entrepreneur to be trained as his protégé and work alongside him to help advance his business. This unusual opportunity kick-started his journey into teaching yoga at the age of 15.

Over the years, other than teaching in his hometown of Porbandar, Sky had worked for the renowned Swami Ramdev (Haridwar) and Bharat Thakur across India. During his time in Mumbai, his skills were further heightened and solidified when Sky opened his first yoga studio and got exposure to training demanding Bollywood celebrities and business tycoons.

Sky's international experience began when he started working for Planet Yoga Hong Kong in 2009. For almost a decade, he served as the Head Yoga Instructor at Fitness First in Hong Kong, specialising in Flow Yoga and Aerial Yoga. He has further widened his scope of training clients who are both fit and athletic but grapple issues of stiffness, joint and muscular pain along with sports injuries.

In 2019, Sky founded the Yoga Trends Training Academy (YTTA), a Yoga Alliance-certified school offering 200-Hour Teacher Training, Continuing Education (YACEP) and 60-Hour Aerial Yoga Teacher Training. These programs combine traditional yoga with modern insights, empowering students to deepen their practice and become confident teachers.

In 2021, Sky opened Yoga Trends Studio, offering small group and one-on-one sessions which are designed for all levels and all ages. He has worked with corporate clients like adidas and Lululemon and is dedicated to helping students of all backgrounds discover the joy of movement. His teaching weaves together yoga, martial arts, and therapeutic movement, fostering physical alignment and mental clarity with ease.

Sky believes that yoga is a transformative practice that can help us connect with our true selves, cultivate self awareness and achieve a sense of inner peace. He strives to bring this philosophy into every class he teaches, and is committed to helping his students achieve their goals, whether it is mastering a difficult pose or finding a moment of stillness in a busy world.
