SHARATH JOIS

 

R. Sharath Jois (born Rangaswamy Sharath, September 29, 1971) is the most advanced practitioner of Ạṣtāṅga Yoga and the foremost authority on its traditional practice. He was born in Mysore, India, and began practicing at the age of seven under the guidance of his grandfather, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. He is the only student to have mastered the six complete series of Ạṣtāṅga Yoga.

When Sri K. Pattabhi Jois left in 2009, Sharath became the lineage manager of Ạṣtāṅga Yoga. To honor his grandfather he renamed the Institute he directs to Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Ạṣtāṅga Yoga Institute (KPJAYI).

He is now the Director of the Sharath Yoga Center in Mysore, where every year many practitioners have the opportunity to study this method under his guidance. 

In 2018 he published the book: 'Ageless, A yogi secret to a long and healthy life' where he shares simple advice on health and well-being and gives recommendations on how to prevent diseases and have a peaceful life.
