    • Our Sankalpa

      On the occasion of the birth anniversary of our teacher Sri TKV Desikachar, that also coincides with the International Yoga Day, we are beginning a monthly series: The Yoga of Desikachar. Each month, we will invite eminent speakers, who have been senior students of Sri TKV Desikachar, for this dialogue.

      Speakers will reflect upon their learning and growing as teachers under the guidance and mentoring of Sir and will engage in a dialogue:

      ● Who are we today as teachers of yoga in this tradition?

      ● What is the root of my current yoga teaching?

      ● How has Sri TKV Desikachar impacted and influenced us in making us who we are today?

      Each of the teachers will share their experiences for about 20 minutes followed by a dialogue session with the participants. This online event is jointly organised by YogaVahini and Ritambhara Ashram.

      Our sankalpa is to culminate this dialogue series with a conference to honour the Guru Parampara in 2022.

      Warmly,

      YogaVahini & Ritambhara Ashram Team

      Speaker

      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.
