Samrat Dasgupta

Samrat is a leading yoga faculty in Asia whose trainees now teach worldwide. He founded Prana Yoga in 2023 to unite seekers of physical and spiritual evolution and to train teachers at every level. A lifelong practitioner since age seven and winner of the 1999 All India “Champion of Champions” title, Samrat also holds honors such as Yoga Jyoti, Yoga Saundarya, Yoga King, and Yoga Shree. He began teaching in Hong Kong in 2004 and was groomed by several senior teachers who deepened his practice and spiritual understanding. Known for clear, precise, methodical instruction, Samrat blends biomechanics with asana, pranayama, and meditation. His approach emphasizes functional alignment, breath awareness, and mindfulness, making classes accessible to all ages and abilities while guiding practitioners toward strength, focus, and inner discovery. Samrat leads international teacher trainings, workshops, conferences, and retreats. After four years managing Prana Yoga, he chose to return to teaching at PURE Yoga, preferring to dedicate himself to creating exceptional teachings and mentoring teachers rather than company management. He believes every yoga teacher should commit to ongoing study to keep pace with rapid developments in health, movement, and coaching practices. His mission is to mentor safe, confident, and conscious teachers and to elevate existing teachers to higher levels of skill and insight.
