Meet your teacher
A practice shaped by years of devotion.
Yoga Quest is founded, managed and run by Persis Cursetji, and is located at Dubai Silicon Oasis.
Persis spent her happy childhood in Agra, India, where the seed of curiosity to go beyond the physical nature was nurtured. Her yearning to explore higher dimensions of life has taken her to various masters who have had an immense impact on her life. She did her Inner Engineering in 2017 — the profundity of that experience left her in a state beyond words. Soon she completed her 1,750 hours on the Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Program offered by Sadhguru Gurukulam in Coimbatore, South India.
She has been teaching Classical Hatha Yoga in its purest form, without any distortions, since 2018. Now based in Dubai, she is fully dedicated to bringing this ancient wisdom — once available only to a few selected yogis — into the households and workspaces of people caught up in the hustle of life. She welcomes all age groups: corporates, children, pregnant ladies and complete beginners alike.
Gurukulam
“I wanted to come on here and give gratitude to Persis who comes with such grace and beautiful energy, and teaches with such eloquence and calm. No matter how quick or slow we are to learn, her patience doesn’t budge. Always with a smile on her face. Thank you so much for all that you do. Looking forward to continue learning from you in many ways. Many blessings.”
Ghazal Ahangaran“Love the peace and serenity as we enter her place. Her warmth and knowledge whilst teaching is what attracts me.”
Kalpana Tripathi“I learned Surya Kriya and Bhuta Shuddhi here. Akka made it easy to understand and provided great support during Mandala.”

Lineage & training
Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Program
27 July – 22 December 2018 · Sadhguru Gurukulam, Coimbatore
A 150-day residential immersion at Sadhguru Gurukulam, Coimbatore, under Sadhguru — one of the most rigorous classical Hatha Yoga teacher training programmes in the world. Persis was among a select international cohort who completed this intensive, earning certification from Sadhguru Gurukulam.
The tradition
Ha · sun. Tha · moon. The art of balance.
Classical Hatha is not a workout. It is a slow, breath-led discipline that brings the active and restful energies of the body into balance. Held postures, conscious breath and stillness build strength, flexibility and a quiet, focused mind.
Pause here
Take one conscious breath before you go on.
Follow the ring. Breathe in as it grows, hold for a moment, and let go slowly as it settles. This is where every practice begins.
