This is yoga unlike anything you’ve ever seen. 61-year-old Khiv Raj Gurjar is the world's finest exponent of Extreme Yoga.

Using only his BMX bicycle for support, Khiv performs extremely difficult yoga poses inches from the edge of 300 foot cliffs. These poses require intense strength, concentration and balance and Khiv has plenty of all three.

He practices on the top of the rocky outcrop near his home of Jodhpur, India. "I practice and exercise every day of the year," explains the yoga master. "In addition to my yoga and cycling I do acrobatics, bodybuilding, football, mountaineering, trekking, and rock climbing."

His unique take on yoga has caught the attention of  celebrities worldwide. He’s worked as a personal trainer for Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and James Bond actor Daniel Craig among others.

Khiv says he has no plans to slow down and practice a quieter, less risky and more sedate form of yoga. He's having too much fun
breaking new ground in this ancient art.
