A yoga coach and speaker, Akshay works to help people lead a healthy life and to motivate them to overcome the challenges in life. He has been working in this field for the last seven years.

Akshay Anand is a Yoga Coach and Motivational Speaker in Gurugram.

Akshay was born in Rewari. His main aim is to change the lives of the people and encourage them to have a positive attitude towards life.

Recalling his childhood, Akshay says that he spent his childhood playing different games, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He spent his childhood until the sixth grade in Rewari and then went to Sonipat. He faced many challenges while switching places, like language barriers, cultural differences, etc. He and his family also faced financial problems when they moved to the village. He completed his twelfth grade at Kalpana Chawla Vidyapeeth.

Talking about his journey, Akshay says that in tenth grade he resolved to become a successful person so that he would be able to provide employment to others and to work beyond his comfort zone. Afterwards, he decided to go to Gurugram for higher studies and took admission to Dronacharya College in the BA stream. He scored top marks in BA because, as a member of  the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, he learned many things and worked hard in his studies.

Later, at the time of his master’s he met some personalities and came to know about yoga. He read books to acquire proper knowledge about it, and eventually his interest in this field increased. He gained experience in the field of teaching yoga and also did a Master in Hindi. He again topped the college.

Akshay says he faced many challenges in his journey, like having to work at a general store while doing his bachelors for two years to earn his livelihood. Then he started work in the field of flex printing and also gave tuition to the students. He started teaching yoga online at the time of the lockdown and also did a master's in yoga. Then he applied for a diploma course at the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga. He started an institute named Anandshala at the time of the pandemic to provide training to people online. He handled more than 100 Corona cases and was successful in curing 95% of them. Currently, he is serving people from all over the world.

Akshay’s life mantra is "Life is all about the choices we make”. It is important to be conscious and calm to make better decisions in life.

Advising the young generation, Akshay says that it is important to remember two things before earning: first, to learn, and second, to give to others. How much value we add to the lives of others will earn us money, and money gives us freedom. In the field of yoga, there is a wide scope, but the most important thing is to learn and to have a sense of service to achieve success. Yoga is a vocational study that can be done after the twelfth grade. Different types of skills, like communication skills, public speaking skills, use of social media, etc., are required in this field.
