J.Looi first discovered yoga to reduce stress from college and prevent gym-related injuries. Subsequently, J found that the yoga mat served as a sanctuary for mental clarity, serenity, and physical wellness. In 2019, J was also appointed a yoga ambassador in college to raise awareness of yoga’s health benefits. Upon graduation, yoga remained an unwavering companion on J's fitness journey. In 2023, J attained his Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) certification under the tutelage of Nithya Priyan.
Today, J continues to share the transformational power of yoga as a dedicated yoga instructor. His pedagogy is a harmonious blend of strength-training techniques from the gym, while nurturing students’ flexibility and mental resilience on the yoga mat. Through J's guidance, students will embark on a holistic fitness journey, while immersing themselves in an exuberant and inclusive environment.
In his last trip to Ubud to conduct the 9-Day Intensive segment of his Yoga Teacher Training Course, Priyan met up with his teacher Burkhard from the Akasha Yoga Academy to share his yoga journey in an insightful discussion that explored his journey from architect to meditator to yogi.
