Atma Gyanam began his practice in 1991, started teaching in 1999, started training teachers in 2010. In 2015 he received initiation as a Swami.
Atma teaches an approach to yoga posture he calls Bhava Yoga. A class includes warm ups and moving and held postures, often pranayama/breathwork, and a guided meditation or yoga nidra at the end. Bhava means ‘A Feeling of Being’ so we get the most out of the postures by imitating the natural forms the postures are named after and taking inspiration from each exercise.
