MASTER SAUMIK BERA

Master Saumik Bera was initiated into yoga at the age of 5 and in just over two decades of yoga practice, he has evolved from an unwitting child to an eminent yoga master.  The secret to his success is his all-consuming passion for the art and science of yoga.

Nothing attests to the fact more than being decorated with the World Champion title in Artistic Yoga in the World Wide Yoga Championships from 2005 to 2007, spanning the globe from Milan, New Delhi to Mexico. In Mexico in 2007, Master Saumik was also crowned the World Champion in Athletic Yoga, in addition to being conferred the honorary title of Best Asian Yoga Teacher in Artistic Yoga.

Master Saumik executes every asana with precision, elegance and grace. He incorporates flexibility, strength and accurate alignment, exuding ease and stability at all times.  Such is the very essence of asana practice that Patanjali adjures to.

Accolades aside, Master Saumik holds a Master's degree in Yoga.  He is researching into yoga anatomy and kinesiology, and investigating the relationship between proper alignment and yoga therapy. Bringing his extensive knowledge and experience to the fore, he has developed a specialty class, "Yoga for Body Opening", placing emphasis on increasing the mobility of the shoulder and pelvic girdles.  It is his belief that as the shoulders and pelvis become less flexible with age, they are more often than not the root causes of postural problems and pain manifestation in all parts of the body. This class is designed to benefit both yoga practitioners and laypersons alike.

Master Saumik started his illustrious teaching career in India in 1996 before moving to Singapore in 2005.  He has also conducted countless successful workshops in many countries in Europe, South East Asia, Australia and India over the last 15 years.  He is well regarded by his peers and highly respected by his students, both for his yoga knowledge and personality.  His expertise and advice being widely sought after, he has acted as chief advisor in major events like Yogamania and Yoga-By-The-Sea.  He is also the first person to perform advanced yoga asanas inside a moving capsule of the Singapore Flyer.

The Real Yoga Studio was inaugurated in 2008 and as the proprietor, programme director and chief instructor of the studio, Master Saumik has been responsible for the training, nurturing and mentoring of many aspiring and established yoga teachers.  He helps his students better achieve their potential through the regular basic and advanced teacher's training courses in the studio.

Yoga is to life as passion is to love. Master Saumik's vision is to see every one of his students transformed into a healthy, happy and holy yogi.
