About the teacher

Jitendra Kumar

Born in northern India. Based in Paris.

Jitendra grew up immersed in the yoga tradition. In France for ten years, he teaches a structured practice that meets each student where they are — where gesture stays tied to lineage.

Certified in Hatha Yoga after 500 hours at Centre Tapovan Paris, he deepens the practice through the study of Sanskrit and the foundational texts. His method rests on grounding: bodily stability to quiet the nervous system, alignment, and the building of strength — so that energy can circulate freely.

He also teaches at L'école châlonnaise « Au pied du cerisier » and in yoga teacher-training programmes at Tapovan Open University in Normandy.

The lineage

A line that reaches back through millennia.

Yoga was born in India, passed mouth to ear by the rishis and munis — seers who withdrew into forests and mountains and listened to the silence to understand the living. The practice is older than writing itself.

योगश्चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः
Yogaḥ citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ
« Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind. »
— Patañjali, Yoga Sūtra I.2

What Jitendra transmits today in Paris — the breath, the posture, the silence — belongs to this unbroken line. Nothing is invented. Everything is remembered.

Ashtanga — Patañjali's eight limbs: yama, niyama, āsana, prāṇāyāma, pratyāhāra, dhāraṇā, dhyāna, samādhi — remains the map.

The eight limbs · Aṣṭāṅga

  1. 01 Yama ethics toward others
  2. 02 Niyama discipline toward self
  3. 03 Āsana the right posture
  4. 04 Prāṇāyāma mastery of the breath
  5. 05 Pratyāhāra withdrawal of the senses
  6. 06 Dhāraṇā concentration
  7. 07 Dhyāna meditation
  8. 08 Samādhi union

What I offer

One practice, four settings.

Every session weaves asana (postures), pranayama (breath), meditation, and relaxation.

What students say

An attentive practice, held by tradition.

Jitendra is an excellent teacher — attentive and warm. A real pleasure to return to yoga with him.

His session was pleasant, calming, and motivating all at once. He adapts perfectly to each student's level and needs, explaining every posture with clarity.
Franck

If you want to step into yoga in an atmosphere of full acceptance and comfort, I recommend Jitendra's classes — for him yoga isn't a class given in a studio, it's a way of living.

Recommendation · September 2025
It was a pleasure to have Jitendra in our teacher-training programme at the Tapovan Open University in Normandy. He brings a profound knowledge of the traditional yoga texts and an impressive command of Sanskrit, which deeply enrich his teaching.
