Ravi Dixit

Ravi Dixit, known as The Smiling Yogi, is a traditional Indian yoga teacher dedicated to sharing the authentic essence of yoga in the modern world. Growing up in India within a family of spiritual teachers, Ravi practiced yoga daily from a young age and later studied under Master Yogi-Ji in Rishikesh. After teaching at a leading retreat in Goa, he moved to London in 2017, quickly becoming one of the city’s most sought-after traditional yoga instructors.

Ravi’s journey is one of resilience and gratitude. After surviving a serious accident in 2020, he credits yoga with playing a vital role in his recovery. His teaching combines asanas, pranayama, meditation, and mantras in an accessible, joyful style that fosters balance and well-being. In November 2024, Ravi opened his dream yoga retreat center in Goa, creating a sanctuary for connection and deep practice. Ravi teaches weekly online classes, offers private sessions, and is a regular instructor at festivals like the OM Yoga Show and World Yoga Festival, where he warmly shares the joy and depth of yoga with students of all levels.
