Vikram took his first asana class at Modo Yoga in the fall of 2006 and right away fell in love with the practice. After regularly practicing for about a year and a half, he finished the 500 hour Modo Teacher Training in Kerala, India in March 2008.

After teaching part time for a few months, vikram decided to switch careers and ultimately left his HR job to pursue a full time teaching career. vikram has taught at various Modo locations in the GTA since November 2008. Over the course of the years he has accumulated over 11,000+ hours of teaching experience. His love of teaching has taken him to various Modo locations in the US and Canada.

In addition to his years of experience with Modo, vikram has completed a 200 hour Ashtanga Yoga certification with David Robson of the Ashtanga Yoga Center of Toronto in 2008. During his time there, vikram was a regular practitioner and co-taught the evening Mysore program. As part of his practice, vikram continues to study and practice with Sharath Jois in Mysore when possible.

To balance out the challenging hatha and vinyasa practices of Ashtanga and Modo, vikram was introduced to yin yoga which very quickly became part of his practice. To support his desire to share that practice, vikram completed his training with Bernie Clark in November 2015 and is a certified Yin Yoga Teacher.

His passion for all things yoga led him to pursue studies in Ayurveda as well. vikram is an Ayurvedic practitioner having completed his studies from the Kripalu School Of Ayurveda. A strong advocate of the Ayurvedic lifestyle, vikram shares his knowledge and passion in various workshops and yoga teacher trainings.

Having grown up in India, vikram was always fascinated with the rich history and stories from Indian mythology which were a big part of his childhood. His passion for mythology and deeper desire to study Yoga History & Philosophy has lead to further studies with various teachers in North America and India. vikram is currently on the YTT faculty for Modo Yoga Inc where he teaches modules on the history of yoga along with the wisdom of the Yoga Sutra, Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads.

Besides asana, vikram teaches courses and workshops on classical yogic texts such as Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads; professional mentorship to yoga teachers and consults with yoga spaces and businesses on cultural appropriation, inclusion and accessibility.

Vikram loves to share his culture and experience of growing up in India, and believes that all practitioners at some point, should visit the birthplace of Yoga.

Vikram currently lives in Goa with his six year old Satya who continues to teach him about life everyday.
