I come from a traditional family in Kerala, South India. I was born and brought up in a traditional Indian environment with agriculture, Ayurveda, Vedanta and Yoga. After attaining the title ‘Yogacharya’, I lived and taught yoga in Sivananda ashram in Kerala, Delhi and the Himalayas. Later I studied and practiced yoga therapy at sVYASA -the university for yoga- in Karnataka. The subject of my thesis was ‘Integrated approach of yoga therapy for psychosomatic diseases’. Curious to experience the western culture, which was the background of most of my students in India, I came to Germany for the first time in the spring of 2001 and continue to visit Europe ever since. In 2003 I founded Arsha Yoga Gurukulam - a charitable institution for imparting the ancient knowledge of yoga. I give seminars and courses on Yoga Therapy, yoga psychology and yoga philosophy in the Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Germany as well as individual yoga therapy. I am also Yoga acharya /Therapist in Nangelil Ayurveda Medical College near Ernakulam in South India. I am currently studying under my guru Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha.
