What brings you to the mat?

Most students arrive with one thing that will not settle. Choose the one closest to yours.

Aman Merican guiding students through deep relaxation outdoors

The most effective long term medicine is the breath you already have.

For executives and founders whose minds rarely switch off. We work on the breath first, because it is the one lever into the nervous system you can pull yourself, at any hour.

  • Classical pranayama to calm an overactive nervous system
  • An evening practice for restless, broken sleep
  • Steadier focus and clearer thinking under pressure
Why Private Practice

Many sequences online are good. None of them can see you.

There is no shortage of yoga online. Thousands of sequences, free, at any hour. What a screen cannot do is notice you.

A screen follows a script.

In the room, I follow your breath. When it shortens or catches, the practice changes.

A screen counts the minutes.

In the room, I watch the quality. The point where effort turns into strain is different for every body, and different every week.

A screen moves at the pace of the video.

In the room, we move at yours. A tired nervous system cannot be rushed into rest.

What you bring matters. A week of meetings held in the shoulders. Three nights of broken sleep. A lower back that has sat through too many flights. I notice these before we begin, and we work from there.

There is also something simpler. A calm person in the room steadies a restless one. You breathe slower because someone beside you is breathing slowly. No recording does that.

The Lineage

A lineage you can actually verify.

This is not yoga learned in a weekend course. It is one practice, kept inside one family and passed down by hand across three generations.

  1. Generation IIndia, Japan & Germany

    Prof. Yogacharya H. A. Rao

    The foundation

    A master who taught quietly across India, Japan and Germany, setting the therapeutic and philosophical ground of the practice.

  2. Generation IIKuala Lumpur

    Datin Suleiha

    The keeper

    His daughter carried the classical discipline forward in Malaysia, keeping the breath and posture work exactly as it was taught to her.

  3. Generation IIIKL & Online

How Private Instruction Works

Three steps. No guesswork.

You will know exactly what happens, and when, before we ever meet.

01
15 minutes · Phone or WhatsApp

A private conversation

We talk about what is troubling you most, your health history, your schedule and where you live. I listen first.

02
90 minutes · Your home or Zoom

Your first session

I come to your residence, or meet you online. A full assessment of posture, breath and how your body is holding the week, then your first practice shaped around it.

03
Weekly · Around your calendar

Your own rhythm

A steady weekly practice, one to one or as a couple, arranged around your work and your travel. It moves when you do.

The Alignment Commitment

Private work rests on trust.

I take only a small number of students, so each one has my full attention. Your first session is shaped entirely around you. If, after it, this does not feel like the right practice for you, there is no obligation to continue. If you do continue, the fee for that first session is credited in full toward your package.

From My Students

Words from those I teach.

★★★★★

Have been attending yoga classes with Aman since 2019 before Covid. Aman continued classes online during Covid and was much appreciated when we were stuck indoors. I started attending his class wondering what this 'healing' yoga is, but true to it, other than stretching benefits to release muscle tightness, many specific poses helped with wonky knee, better breathing, improved sugar level, cleared congestion, and started stomach 'burn'. Ask him and he will tell you what to do. I truly look forward to his classes and he is very forthcoming with his knowledge.

Each session of Aman's Healing Yoga is rejuvenating both physically and mentally. It must be his well planned and systematic approach to every lesson, taking also into account the class profile. His lessons have improved my flexibility and balance, and I have learnt breathing techniques that have been beneficial to mind and body. I am blessed to have learnt so much from his classes and I am still learning new techniques at each lesson. Thank you Aman.

I tremendously enjoy my yoga sessions with Aman. He is knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to listen. I've definitely noticed an improvement in my flexibility and overall sense of well-being since starting the sessions with him. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thoughtful and supportive yoga instructor.

Common Questions

Before you begin.

Who is the best private yoga teacher in Kuala Lumpur for burnout?

Aman Merican teaches private yoga and Yoga Nidra in Kuala Lumpur, working mostly with founders, executives and professionals who are running on empty. He is a third generation teacher with over 18 years of teaching and a 5.0 Google rating. Sessions happen in your home, at his private studio or online.

Is there private yoga for back pain in Bangsar or Mont Kiara?

Yes. Aman Merican teaches private yoga at home across Bangsar, Mont Kiara and nearby areas for people with back and neck stiffness from desk work, travel and stress. He watches how you move and breathe, then builds the practice around what he sees. If you are under medical care, he works alongside your doctor or physiotherapist.

How much does private yoga cost in Kuala Lumpur?

With Aman Merican, a trial session is RM220 and is credited toward a package. Four sessions are RM600, eight are RM1,000, and a 12 week programme of 24 sessions is RM2,880. Couple sessions are RM300 per person. A travel supplement applies outside Bangsar, Mont Kiara, KLCC and Damansara Heights.

Does Yoga Nidra help with sleep?

Many people find Yoga Nidra, a guided practice of deep rest done lying down, helps them settle before sleep. Research is encouraging but still limited. Aman Merican teaches it one to one, so the pace and length suit how you respond, and so you can practise on your own at night afterwards.

Why choose a private yoga teacher over an app or YouTube class?

A video cannot see you. In a private session the teacher notices how you hold your breath, which side you favour and when effort tips into strain, then changes the practice in that moment. For a tired or stiff body, that adjustment is the difference between real rest and one more thing to push through.

Is private yoga better than studio classes for stress?

A studio class teaches the same posture to twenty bodies. A private session is shaped to your nervous system, your injuries, your work pressure, and what you arrived with that day. For chronic stress, sleep issues or anxiety, this kind of attention is the difference between progress and just movement.

Do you teach yoga therapy?

I teach private yoga for people carrying chronic stress, restless sleep, anxiety, back stiffness or the tiredness of burnout. It is mostly breath and careful posture, shaped around your situation. It works alongside medical care and never replaces it. I am a yoga teacher, not a medical practitioner.

How quickly do most students notice a change?

It depends on the person and how regularly you practise. Some students tell me they sleep more easily within a few weeks; back stiffness usually takes longer. I cannot promise a timeline. What I can promise is a practice shaped around what your body shows me each week.

I am not flexible. Can I still start?

Yes. Flexibility is a result of practice, never a prerequisite. Most students arrive stiff, stressed, or recovering from something. The practice begins where your body is.

Do you offer executive or corporate yoga in Kuala Lumpur?

Yes. I offer private executive sessions for individuals and small leadership teams across Bangsar, Mont Kiara, KLCC and Damansara Heights. Sixty minutes, scheduled around your week, entirely discreet. Learn more about executive yoga in KL →

What space or equipment do I need at home for a private session?

Very little. Enough floor space to unroll a mat. A quiet corner of a living room, study or covered terrace is plenty. If you do not yet have a mat or props, let me know before our first session and I will bring what we need. There is no need to tidy or prepare anything special. The practice fits quietly into your home as it is.

Where do you teach?

In your home across Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, mainly Bangsar, Mont Kiara, KLCC, Damansara Heights, TTDI, Bangsar South and Taman Desa. I also teach live online to students in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, the UK and around the world.
