Ravi Shankar

Ravi Shankar has been on the path of Yoga for more than 30 years. He completed his Teacher Training Diploma at the KYM in 1994. He was the assistant editor of the journal KYM Darsanam from 1993-96.

Together with his wife Sheela, he has started the yoga school Yoga Nidhi - a center for Yoga and Vedic Chanting in Chennai (www.yoganidhi.org). They also run a residential retreat center, The Enchanted Space in Chennai (www.theenchantedspace.com).

They teach in the tradition of T.K.V. Desikachar, that is, yoga that is breath centric, gentle, meditative, and therapeutic. They also teach the philosophy of Yoga as taught in the Yoga Sutra and other related texts. Vedic chanting is an important part of their teaching.

They conduct their programs in India and also in the US, the UK, and Europe. Most recently, in 2019, they were the plenary speakers at the convention conducted by the Association for Yoga Studies, UK. Ravi was earlier the Scholar‐in‐Residence (2008‐09), Denison University, Ohio and the Lilly Scholar at the Laura C. Harris Symposium in 2007 at the same university.
