Yoga as Sarvāṅga Sādhana
A Complete Path for the Whole Person with Srivatsa Ramaswami
This rare two-day program offers the opportunity to study with Srivatsa Ramaswami, one of the most senior living students of T. Krishnamacharya, with whom he studied personally for over three decades.
4 - 6pm (London), 11am - 1pm (EST), February 27 & 28, 2026
Course Description
In this course, Ramaswami presents yoga as sarvāṅga sādhana—a complete, integrated system that addresses the whole human being. Rather than fragmenting yoga into isolated techniques, this teaching restores yoga as a coherent path that supports physical health, mental clarity, emotional steadiness, and inner maturation.
Drawing from classical sources and lived transmission, the course explores how āsana, prāṇāyāma, mantra, mudras, meditation, and inquiry function together as a unified discipline. The emphasis is not on performance or aesthetics, but on how yoga works—how practice affects the body, the mind, and the deeper layers of the individual.
This is a rare opportunity to receive teaching from a living bridge to Krishnamacharya’s original vision of yoga: practical, compassionate, adaptable, and profoundly human.
This course is suitable for:
Dedicated practitioners seeking depth and clarity
Yoga teachers wanting a lineage-rooted understanding of yoga as a whole system
Students interested in yoga as a lifelong sādhana rather than a collection of techniques

Srivatsa Ramaswami
Born in Chennai, India, Srivatsa Ramaswami met Krishnamacharya at the age of 15 when, at the request of his father, he came to his house to teach therapeutic yoga to his handicapped brother. This began Ramaswami’s 33 years of direct study with his legendary Guru from 1955 to 1988. Krishnamacharya passed on his knowledge of the Vinyasa Krama asanas, Vedic chantings, and yogic philosophies to Srivatsa Ramaswami. He is Krishnamacharya’s longest-standing student outside of Krishnamacharya’s immediate family.
Krishnamacharya emphasized equally the importance of study of the yogic and ancient texts, especially for yoga teachers so the they may contribute better to the physical as well as the mental health of yoga students.
For over 30 years, Ramaswami has taught Krishnamacharya’s classical vinyasa yoga in universities, hospitals and yoga studios throughout England, Mexico, the United States and India. He has taught workshops and Teacher Training programs in the US at the Esalen Institute, Loyola Marymount University, Yoga Works, the Himalayan Institute, Chicago Yoga Center and many others.
