A Rich Legacy
​
Sumit Banerjee's journey in yoga began in his hometown of Bombay, India, where he was a yoga student from a young age. He honed his skills under the guidance of Hot Yoga Guru Bikram Choudhury after moving to Los Angeles, USA, in 1997. In 2000, Sumit opened his first Bikram Yoga studios, and in 2004, he founded Sumits Yoga, which quickly gained nationwide success.
​
Building upon his wealth of experience, Sumit embarked on a franchising journey, spreading Sumits Yoga studios across the United States, from Orange County, California, to Arizona, St. Louis, Kansas, Colorado, and beyond. Now, Sumit is embarking on a new venture, Soulful Tribe, harnessing his vast expertise, both in success and adversity, to create a global brand that transcends boundaries.
