Raj Krishnaswamy
About Raj
Raj Krishnaswamy is a Tamil-born yoga teacher and gentle fitness coach who has built a thriving senior fitness community among Dubai's South Indian and broader Indian retiree population in Dubai Hills and JVC. With nine years of experience teaching yoga specifically adapted for older adults, Raj understands the physical changes of ageing and how to work with — not against — them.
His sessions blend traditional Hatha yoga postures adapted for older bodies, pranayama breathing practices with proven cognitive and respiratory benefits, and gentle strength work that maintains the functional capacity for daily activities. He is particularly skilled at working with clients recovering from joint replacements and cardiac events.
Raj teaches in Tamil, Hindi, and English — a trilingual combination that makes him uniquely accessible to Dubai's enormous Tamil and North Indian senior community, for whom finding fitness instruction in their own language is a significant quality-of-life issue. He runs group sessions in the Dubai Hills community centre that have become a beloved social gathering.
