Teacher: Ayem (Annamalai)
I took my first steps in Yoga in 1988 when I was part of a theatre group in Chennai. I was taught asanas and pranayama by esteemed senior teachers from Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram: Shri.Raghu Ananthanarayanan, Shri.Mukunthan, Ms. Lakshmi Renganathan and Dr. Girija.
Despite my busy schedule as a full-time theatre practitioner, yoga became an essential and cherished part of my daily life. Hence, I began my journey of learning and exploring the grand tradition of yoga.

My Published Books
The experience that I have gained over the last few decades through my yoga journey has inspired me in my writing journey as well. To share my knowledge about this art and science of healthy living, which focuses on bringing harmony between mind and body, I started writing articles and books on yoga for various magazines for the benefit of a wider population.
