Gaurav is an active theatre artist and ardent lover of Yoga. After completing his Diploma in Theatre skills from Barry John Acting Studio, New Delhi, he pursued that field for few years. He soon realized that his heart is elsewhere and started following that inner call. His exploration took him on a sojourn of 2 years of intense pursuit of various Yoga traditions in India, especially in Rishikesh.
He explored various Yoga schools and teachers in Rishikesh. He completed his 200-hour Yoga Teachers Training from Rishikul Yogashala, Rishikesh.

In due course, he met Smt.Jyothi Sagar Narayan Rao a disciple of Swami Rama at his ashram in Tadakeshwar. She initiated him into the Himalayan Tradition of Yoga and Meditation. Gaurav has been studying under her the Himalayan Yoga and Meditation practices as well as Srividya practices.
