Yogachariya Jnandev

Jnandev was born in India and spent his first 33 years there with no desire to leave his ‘holy land’, spending much time studying and being immersed in and living yoga. However, after marrying Deepika he re-settled in Wales and has three sons.

The author of several books, Jnandev is passionate about educating people about traditional holistic yoga, its importance and value in our lives. He founded the Yoga Satsanga Ashram, in West Wales, which was the first Yoga Teacher Training school in the UK to represent the Paramparai of Gitananda Yoga. He also runs the International Yoga Satsanga Ashram in Portugal, which he is developing with a vision of an eco-friendly, organic, self-sustainable ashram where true yoga Sadhakas can immerse themselves in yoga training, Karma Yoga and spiritual sadhana. Both ashrams propagate authentic Sanatan Yoga of Rishiculture Gitananda and Raja Yoga.

Jnandev has been practising the spiritual and philosophical aspects of yoga since his earliest memories and following and teaching all aspects of yoga for around 20 years. Jnandev and Deepika have been sharing the authentic aspects of yoga, asana, pranayama, mantra chanting, Bhajan singing, Sanskrit study, yoga chikitsa, satsanga and swadhyaya (study of scriptures and yogic self-enquiry) together for more than 11 years.
