Krishnamacharya in 1995. For the next 30 years\, I pursued intensive studies with TKV Desikachar\, his family and senior students in India\, Europe and America. While in India\, I was given an in-depth education on the underlying principles\, tools and adaptations of Yoga Therapy. This included an internship at the KYM\, a world-renowned Yoga Therapy clinic in Chennai\, Tamil Nadu.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Under Desikachar’s guidance\, I began what would become a life-long relationship with Yoga’s foundation text\, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras\, which I studied in the classical\, word-for-word style. \nSeveral years later\, I recognised the striking parallels between Yoga Psychology and the burgeoning science of Positive Psychology\, and became a certified PP Coach in 2014. Since then\, I have worked to integrate Positive Psychology’s evidence-based interventions with the time-tested techniques of Classical Yoga Therapy. \nFor the past 25 years\, was clinical director of ‘The Breathing Space’\, a home-based wellness centre\, where I offered Yoga Sutras Study\, Yoga Teacher trainings\, mentorship programs and a variety of workshops on Relationships\, Addiction\, Positive Psychology\, and Bhavana\, a powerful meditative tool. \nI have also facilitated private Yoga/ Positive Psychology Coaching sessions with hundreds of individuals and couples looking to create more meaningful lives more satisfying relationships. \nI currently serve on faculty at Loyola University’s Yoga Therapist Training Program\, where I mentor students and present modules on on Yoga Sutras\, Addiction\, Respiration and Digestion. \nMy first book\, ‘Why Yoga Works\, and How It Can Work For You’ was published last year and is currently being used as a teacher training manual by Yoga studios worldwide. It’s available on Amazon and selected bookstores.   \nRobert J.

He returned to India and joined his family business of manufacturing. In 2013\, while still working he enrolled himself as a student at the renowned Iyengar Yoga Institute in Pune. Without really knowing at the time\, he was initiated on the path of Yoga as a Sadhaka. \nThis was the beginning to his journey of transformation\, a quote by BKS Iyengar that Rishi relates and describes what happened to him is “Yoga does not just change the way we see things; it transforms the person who sees.” As his Abhyasa (practice) grew in class so did his Vairagya (detachment) grew outside class. He started questioning- what he was doing ? What is the purpose of life ? and to seek answers to these questions in 2016 he took a six months sabbatical from work and travelled through the Himalayas.

While he is here he is teaching Yoga and Sanskrit. Rishi founded his own yoga institute in India and is here to share his practice and experience. He belongs to traditional Indian family believing firmly in Ahimsa (non-violence)\, He completed his education after graduating university from U.S.A. in 2012. He returned to India and joined his family business of manufacturing. In 2013\, while still working he enrolled himself as a student at the renowned Iyengar Yoga Institute in Pune. Without really knowing at the time\, he was initiated on the path of Yoga as a Sadhaka. \nThis was the beginning to his journey of transformation\, a quote by BKS Iyengar that Rishi relates and describes what happened to him is “Yoga does not just change the way we see things; it transforms the person who sees.” As his Abhyasa (practice) grew in class so did his Vairagya (detachment) grew outside class. He started questioning- what he was doing ? What is the purpose of life ? and to seek answers to these questions in 2016 he took a six months sabbatical from work and travelled through the Himalayas. He lived in Ashrams and he learnt from various teachers and traditions. These experiences helped him deepen his own practice\, bringing clarity of what he needed to do next. In 2017\, he sold the family business to become a full-time student of Yoga and Sanskrit and has since completely focused on his Sadhana. He completed his diploma in Sanskrit from the University of Pune. \nRishi believes that learning never stops and every seeker can learn yoga through their rigorous and continuous practice.
