Yoga Guru Sri. S. Sudhesh Chandra

Sri Sudhesh Chandra, is mainly a self taught teacher and teaches B.K.S Iyengar's style of Yoga. Over the years he has mastered "Pranayama" and is highly proficient in this field. He was born on 15/12/1961. In his early 20's, he was suffering from acute back-pain and Yoga came to his rescue not only to cure the suffering but also to motivate him to take this field as his profession. Being in the field for more than two decades, he teaches "Asanas", "Pranayamas" and "Dhyana"(Meditation) to students from the basics. His easy way of teaching methods has attracted many students both local and overseas.

Though he is teaching Yoga from a long time, a center of how own "Sri Upanishath Yoga Center Trust (R)" came to existence only in 2003. This happened at the prompting of his own student, one Dr. Christine (Canadian), to have his own Yoga Center. For almost one year Mr. Sudhesh has kept a log of his students' comments who had learnt Yoga from him. Following are some of the comments :

"I just wanted to let you know that I am still practising Yoga. You have had a profound effect in my life"

"With what you have taught me, I believe that I am now a much healthier person"

"I now experience an increased awareness in the world around me"

"I have now got rid off my lethargy and most of the time bubbling with high charge of energy"

"I am now able to face difficulties and solve them amicably"

"My sleeping pattern has now thoroughly changed and I am able to get good rest"

"If somebody provokes me , now I am not intimidated by it"

"I am now fully in control of my life"

The above comments clearly indicate the effectiveness of Mr. Sudhesh's teachings. His way of teaching is simple but effective. He also takes intensive care in discussing the present status of the student, both physical and mental, and then decide a course to suite the student's needs. In other words the course is tailor made depending on student's needs. Uptil now  there are about 500 local and about 50 overseas students who have successfully completed the designated courses. The courses comprise of mainly "Asanas", "Pranayamas" and "Dhyanas" with a special emphasis on "Pranayama".

Mr. Sudhesh Chandra has written a book in kannada titled "Jeevanada Jyothi Yoga" which was released in the year 2006. The book is about yoga and how it helps a person to lead a better life. The book has earned appreciation of many people. An english version of this, is intended to be released soon.
