Classical Yoga Teacher and Holistic Therapist

Piyush Mittal is a yoga and Ayurveda teacher, lecturer, and the founder and president of the Nirmala Institute of Yoga and Ayurveda. He is the initiator, author, and co-author of numerous workshops and instructor courses preparing people to work as, among others, a classical yoga instructor, Ayurveda consultant and therapist, holistic body-and-mind therapist, Marma therapy specialist, and workplace wellbeing lead — a yoga ambassador. He graduated from the Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Computer Science and Management.

He has consciously practised yoga for more than four decades. The foundations of this path were laid much earlier, when as a child he attended a school operating in the Vedic tradition of Saraswati Shishu Mandir. His first formal yoga teacher was Chandra Mohan Bhandari, who organised and deepened his knowledge of yoga, pranayama, and meditation.

He gained experience passing on the Indian art of working with the body, mind, and consciousness as, among other things, the organiser of more than 180 workshops and courses in 2012–2024, and four International Scientific Conferences of Yoga and Ayurveda in 2013–2017, held in cooperation with the AYUSH Ministry of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Naturopathy in India.

He completed certified training with teachers of yoga, Ayurveda, and related sciences, including Sadhguru and Swami Sarvapriyananda. He studied Marma therapy and Ayurveda especially under dr Sunil Kumar Joshi and dr Vasant Lad, and further deepened his knowledge of the classical Marma points as the author of the Polish translation of the book "Marma Chikitsa". He deepens his knowledge of the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Yoga Sutras in contact with teachers of the Vedanta tradition. He holds Yoga Alliance RYT® 500 and E-RYT® 200 certifications and serves as a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP®).

In his work he combines the language of modern science with the wisdom of classical texts, passing on knowledge in a way that is simple and understandable even for people without prior preparation. He continually deepens his own practice and learning, treating this process as a personal svadhyaya — ongoing learning and self-knowledge.

For 20 years she has been associated with the ZSP school in Luban, where she successfully runs her own programme "Yoga at School, or Sowing the Seed." She also teaches yoga in kindergarten. Her programme combines bodywork, breath, relaxation techniques, and space for conversation and self-discovery.

Yoga is, for her, a daily practice — a path of gratitude and deep connection with herself and the world.

Beata began her journey inward through the practice of Aikido. Physically active and strong, yet also guided by intuition, she sought a practice that would challenge the body while also touching on inner growth — and that is how she found Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, appreciating this path immediately.

Understanding that body and mind are inseparable, Beata approached stepping onto the yoga mat as a method of her own spiritual search.

This method revealed the limitations of the body — and therefore of the mind — while at the same time encouraging her to go beyond them. As she says herself, Ashtanga is demanding, but practised regularly it brings great results.

Beata has travelled the world and had the good fortune to meet and practise with highly experienced teachers along the way: Lino Miele, Nancy Gilgoff, Prem Carlisi, Rolf Naujokat, and others. When she met John Scott, however, the connection was immediate. Shortly after completing his RYT 200 teacher training, she began assisting him at his workshops and courses in many countries around the world. She now holds his RYT 500 teaching certification.

As a highly experienced teacher and yogini with twenty years of practice, she remains humble, teaching beginners and advanced students alike with great attention and dedication. Whatever the day or the specific practice you choose, you feel she is there for you — to help and guide you. The true quality of a teacher, captured in a kind and gentle presence.

Julia is responsible for marketing, communications and the brand's presence on social media. Day to day, she runs Nirmala.pl's channels, creates content for Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, prepares graphic and video materials, plans communications and runs advertising campaigns.

She is also responsible for promoting the courses, workshops, events and trips organised by Nirmala. She creates materials from concept through to publication — developing ideas, graphics, photos and videos, handling editing, and adapting communication to different channels and audiences. In her work she combines creativity with a practical approach to marketing, making sure communication is not only visually appealing but, above all, clear, authentic and effective at reaching the right people.

Working at Nirmala has also become an opportunity for her to deepen her knowledge of Ayurveda and a holistic approach to people. She has completed the Holistic Therapist for Body and Mind course, the Marma Therapy Specialist course and the Ayurveda Consultant course, so she knows the subjects Nirmala.pl covers not only from a marketing perspective, but also as a participant and graduate of the Institute's own courses.

She also draws on her experience in content creation and social media management as the instructor of a class on the practical use of social media for building a personal brand and reaching new clients.
