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.

J’ai organisé un cours de yoga pour un EVJF et tout était absolument parfait. Le professeur a su créer une ambiance à la fois détendue, bienveillante et adaptée à tout le groupe. Le cours était très agréable, bien pensé et vraiment idéal pour ce moment entre amies. Merci encore pour cette belle expérience !

Super cours de yoga avec Jitendra :) J'ai suivi plusieurs séances avec lui et j'ai beaucoup apprécié son approche. Il prend vraiment le temps d'écouter vos besoins et adapte chaque cours en fonction de vos attentes et de votre niveau. Sa douceur, sa bienveillance et son professionnalisme mettent tout de suite en confiance. Ayant déjà pratiqué le yoga avec différents professeurs, je trouve que sa capacité d'adaptation fait vraiment la différence. Je recommande ses cours sans hésitation :)

Jitendra est un professeur de yoga très attentif, bienveillant et enthousiaste à partager sa passion. Sa séance était à la fois agréable, apaisante et motivante, donnant vraiment envie de poursuivre l'apprentissage. Il sait parfaitement s'adapter au niveau et aux besoins de ses élèves, en proposant des ajustements personnalisés et en expliquant chaque posture avec clarté.

I attended Jitendra's Yoga Sessions. It was superbly helpful. While we know the benefits of practicing Yoga, what really makes a difference is a good teacher, who understands your body's limitations, even in a group class, and personally attends to each one of you. He made it easy to practice even the difficult poses, through simple methods, plus he has a very peaceful presence. His yoga studio in the serene 16e in Paris is so calm, it really helps one feel centered. I highly recommend everyone to attend his sessions.
