About Dr. S. Yogi: A Life Devoted to the Path of Yoga
Dr. S. Yogi is a globally respected yoga master, educator, and lifelong practitioner who brings over two decades of deep-rooted experience in traditional yogic science. Born in Rishikesh, the sacred city at the foothills of the Himalayas and the birthplace of yoga, Dr. Yogi's spiritual journey began early in life—on the banks of the Ganges River, where chants and rituals were part of daily rhythm.
His path was shaped by both lineage and discipline. From childhood, Dr. Yogi was immersed in the ancient Gurukulam tradition, where he studied Sanskrit, the Vedas, Upanishads, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and Hatha Yoga Pradipika. This rare, immersive education laid the foundation not only for his academic achievements but for a lifelong embodiment of yogic wisdom.
Deep Academic Foundations and Global Recognition
Dr. Yogi holds a Ph.D. in Yoga Philosophy from C.C.S. University (Meerut, 2010), a Master’s in Yoga Science from the prestigious Gurukul Kangri University (Haridwar, 2005), and a B.Sc. in Science from the same institution. His research bridges classical texts and modern application, focusing on the transformative potential of yoga on the mind, body, and spirit.
He is an E-RYT 500 (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) with Yoga Alliance USA and the visionary founder of Chandra Yoga International, an organization committed to spreading authentic yoga education worldwide. Through his programs, Dr. Yogi has trained hundreds of yoga teachers across India, Europe, and the Americas.
A Teacher Shaped by Experience
Dr. Yogi is not just a scholar; he is a practitioner who lives the yogic lifestyle daily. He has spent extended periods in silence and self-inquiry, including solitary retreats in Himalayan caves, studying ancient breath-control practices and subtle-body meditations.
One of his most transformative experiences came during a 10-day pilgrimage across Kedarnath, where he practiced yoga and meditation at high altitudes under extreme weather conditions. "It was a reminder," he often tells students, "that yoga is not what you do on the mat—it’s what you carry in your heart when the ground beneath you shakes."
