About Yogic Studies & Philosophy
Yoga is way more than just stretching or holding postures. I see it as a logical journey - you start by getting your body and mind steady, then use breathwork (pranayama) to build focus (dharana), and only then try meditation (dhyana). This whole thing is about self-inquiry, not just exercise.
How I Mix Old and New
I bring together ancient wisdom from texts like the Patanjali Yoga Sutras with modern science like biomechanics and neuroscience. It’s not just theory - I want you to see how these ideas play out in real life, on your body and in your mind.
What You’ll Get
- Fundamentals of Yoga Workshop: Whether you’re new or experienced, this covers yoga philosophy, body alignment, and why meditation matters.
- Deep Dives into Yogic Texts: Want to really get into the Upanishads? Join live online classes or go at your own pace with e-learning modules. Resources come in six languages, so you can chant and learn comfortably.
- Yoga Vichara Series: Free talks and discussions with experts. Topics range from "Life Lessons from the Upanishads" to "Science of Pranayama."
- Sanskrit Workshop: If you want to actually understand yogic texts, knowing Sanskrit helps a ton. We run a free 10-day spoken Sanskrit camp (Samskrita Sambhāṣaṇa Shibiram).
- Chanting Albums: Practice chanting with my audio collections - Patanjali Yoga Sutras explained through rhythm and repetition.
What Matters Most
Having a teacher (guru) really helps, but it’s your regular practice (abhyasa) that does the magic. No shortcuts here - just steady effort, and I’ll guide you through the process.

My Story
Started off as an IIT engineer, but somehow yoga pulled me in. Did my MTech at IIT Hyderabad, dived into Heritage Science, mixed tech with yoga. But honestly, the real engineering? It’s inside. That’s why Yogavijnana exists – it’s not just asanas, it’s exploring the science within. My Prasanna Vadanam (radiant face) workshop came from seeing folks hold tension in their faces. For me, my own practice rules my schedule, not the other way. Even 10 minutes daily can flip your world.
My Work
Classes, Therapy, Teacher Training, and Workshops - Group classes, Yoga Therapy, Teacher Training, Corporate Yoga, and unique sessions like Prasanna Vadanam workshop and Yoga Kurunta ropes class.
Yoga as Explorative Science - We go deep – Awakening yoga series lets us unravel a single practice for hours, not just perform asanas.
Learning with a Teacher Matters - Yoga’s best learned in-person, but online works too if you’re disciplined. Breathwork like Pranayama needs guidance.
For Serious Yoga Students - If you’re after Samadhi, not just a sweat, and have six months experience, our workshops are for you.
