About:

Ben Kalra is a Yoga teacher who leads trainings, workshops, and retreats internationally. His teaching blends classical yogic philosophy with a creative approach to asana that emphasizes structure and imagination.

He is a Katonah Yoga® teacher and continues to study with his mentor Abbie Galvin. He has also completed two 300-hour advanced Yoga trainings through Shivakali Yoga and with Jonah Kest, which further developed his skills in Vinyasa, pranayama, and meditation. While he primarily teaches in-person, Ben has also recorded online classes and courses for platforms including YogaRenew, Better Yoga, The Studio NYC, and Sadhaka Studio.

His teaching style is both serious and lighthearted. Ben views Yoga as a slow-burning practice of liberation, and as a set of tools for living well in the world. He believes good teaching should be clear, human, and occasionally humorous. He uses props, adjustments, storytelling, and metaphor to help students cultivate a meaningful practice.

When the mat is rolled up, Ben enjoys photography, baking, and poetry. If you’d like to connect, you can reach him here.
