Nootan Kumar is a yoga and pranayama teacher formed in both Canada and India. True to the Sanskrit meaning of her name—the essence of renewal—she guides practice as a path of personal transformation, helping each student meet themselves with clarity, steadiness, and care.
How she teaches
Classes stay intentionally small, so guidance can meet each person’s health, capacity, and goals—never a one-size-fits-all sequence.
She keeps programming approachable and affordable, because steady practice should feel welcoming, not exclusive.
Her workshops grow in conversation with senior teachers and healthcare consultants, holding a holistic, therapeutic view of body and breath.
Professional Credentials
At Patanjali Yogpeeth in Haridwar and Toronto, she trained as a pranayama and yoga instructor under the guidance of Swami Ramdev, rooted in a mission of health for humanity.
In Kerala, at the Shiva Rishi School of Yoga, she earned Yoga Alliance certification in classical Hatha and Vinyasa flow.
In Montreal, she deepened therapeutic Hatha through the Dr. Bali Method with Dr. Madan Bali.
What shapes her practice
The Bihar School of Yoga remains a quiet compass—classical, integral yoga taught as a living, verifiable science.
From the Shiv Yog lineage, she draws mindfulness and spiritual techniques inspired by Dr. Avdhoot Baba Shivanand and Dr. Ishan Shivanand.
