Mr. Viswanatha (Masterji) hails from Bengaluru in Karnataka in the South of India. He has taught Astanga yoga internationally for over 30 years and is easily one of the most celebrated yoga professionals in Southern India. In the early 1970's Viswanatha founded the Foundation of Pathanjala Yoga Kendra which sponsors humanitarian works, especially for economically challenged children in India.

Viswanatha became a master educator in 1968, and has spent 12 years teaching Philosophy at Indian schools and colleges during his career. He has over 15 years direct study with his own Yoga Master.

Viswanatha opened a beautiful and spacious new studio in December, 2000. Here he receives students of all levels and at most times of the year. Look for studio photos in the gallery soon.

Steeve speaks...

"I began studying with Mr. Viswanatha in 1996, and to date I have spent hundreds of hours in his classes, lectures and workshops. It has been powerful, rewarding, and good fun too.. The atmosphere in Masterji's presence and at the studio in Bangalore is at once peaceful and exhilarating. I find him to be very accessible and easy to understand. His interest lies in, and he is particularly noted for, his teaching to the capacity and interest of the individual, and I have seen the full range of students in his classes. His is the ideal trainer for teachers and students who want to achieve perfection in their practices, and who desire to know much more than just Astanga (Ashtanga) Yoga asanas."
