Vijay Kumar

An absolutely authentic and deeply sincere teacher of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, who—as he often emphasizes—received his practice as a “blessing” from his mother at a very young age. He has completed all four series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and naturally moved onto the path of meditation, which in essence is a continuation and deepening of the Ashtanga tradition.

He is the founder and sole teacher of Ashtanga Sadhana in Mysore, a school that has been growing in recognition and appreciation year after year. He is a refined scholar of yoga philosophy and a true virtuoso in working with both the body and the mind. For many years, he has been reminding students that yoga is, above all, a practice of befriending our own mind, so that life may unfold with greater peace, harmony, and ease.
