I am RamKishan Kugathas, a certified yoga teacher with over 10 years of experience in sharing the traditional and therapeutic wisdom of yoga. I hold RYT 200 and RYT 300 certifications registered with Yoga Alliance (USA) and a Diploma in Yoga. I am also trained in Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Reiki Healing, Breathing Techniques, and Meditation. My journey in yoga began as a personal search for inner peace and healing, and it has evolved into a lifelong mission to empower others through the transformative power of yoga.
I am the Founder and Lead Instructor of Ogam School of Yoga, located in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. Our school is recognized for offering authentic and inclusive yoga education to students from around the world. At Ogam School of Yoga, I lead Yoga Alliance-certified 200-hour and 300-hour Teacher Training Programs, daily group classes, personalized yoga therapy sessions, spiritual workshops, and wellness retreats. Our teachings combine classical Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga, meditation, mantra chanting, sound healing, and pranayama.
I currently serve as the Sri Lanka President of the International Union Yoga Federation, where I work to promote and protect the integrity of yoga on a national and global scale. My responsibilities include organizing international yoga festivals, competitions, and conferences, developing quality standards for yoga instruction, and collaborating with schools, teachers, and organizations that share the same vision of spreading true yogic values.
Over the years, I have had the honor of teaching hundreds of students from Sri Lanka and abroad, supporting their personal journeys as practitioners and future teachers. I also provide specialized yoga programs for children, seniors, and individuals with special needs or medical conditions. My teaching emphasizes alignment, breath awareness, self-discipline, and spiritual growth. I believe yoga is a path of lifelong learning and self-discovery.
As a teacher and guide, my goal is to help students build a strong foundation in yoga philosophy and practice while encouraging them to live with compassion, presence, and purpose. I strive to make yoga a tool for healing and transformation for all who walk this path.
🙏 "Yoga is not just a practice on the mat – it is a way of life that connects us to our higher self, to others, and to the world around us.
