Yoga Speaking Engagements and Scientific Collaborations
I frequently collaborate with institutions like the National Institute of Unani Medicine and Indica Yoga to bridge the gap between ancient yogic scriptures and modern scientific health principles.

About this collection
When I speak at forums like the Yoga Sangam or collaborate with the Healthcare Sector Skill Council, my objective is always the same: to demonstrate that yoga is a verifiable science, not just a series of physical postures. Whether I am discussing Pranayama for emotional well-being at NIUM or teaching at the Mysuru Yoga Utsava, I approach these sessions with the same analytical rigor I bring to my studio classes in Chandra Layout. You will not find vague theories here; every concept I present is anchored in the logical framework of the Yoga Sutras and supported by modern biomechanics.
My involvement in these speaking engagements and collaborations stems from a core belief: that yoga needs to be understood through the lens of logic and structure to be truly effective. Over the years, I have had the privilege of sharing my research and perspective on platforms that value both traditional wisdom and contemporary health outcomes.
Integrating Ancient Wisdom and Science
My presentations at events like the Healthcare Sector Skill Council webinar on 'Integrated Approaches to Physical and Mental Health' or the Mysuru Yoga Utsava are extensions of my work at Yogavijnana. In these settings, I address complex questions about how to weave Yama, Niyama, and Pranayama into a busy, modern lifestyle. I use these opportunities to clarify common misconceptions, such as the idea that yoga is merely an exercise, and instead emphasize it as a systematic process of self-inquiry.
Recognition and Accountability
Receiving recognitions like 'Yoga Chikitsa Acharya' from masters like Dr. Hansaji Yogendra and Dr. R. Nagaratna is an honor, but for me, it serves as a reminder of the responsibility I hold as a teacher. It validates that the structured, scientific approach we cultivate at our foundation is aligned with the broader, authentic goals of traditional yoga.
Why This Matters for Your Practice
When you see me at these events, you are seeing the same pedagogical approach I bring to my classes. I do not change my methodology based on the audience; I simply adapt the language to ensure the science of yoga is clear. If you are looking for a teacher who treats yoga as a logical, disciplined, and evidence-based study rather than just a fitness activity, the principles I discuss at these events are exactly what you will encounter in our Fundamentals of Yoga workshops.
Yogavijnana
I began my career as an IIT engineer, but I eventually found that the most profound engineering happens within the science of yoga. Today, I balance my time between deep scriptural study, running the Yogavijnana foundation in Bengaluru, and sharing these insights at forums where yoga meets modern health science.
