Arun workshop in Austin

Austin Yoga Institute
Welcomes Arun this August!

Morning Classses 9:30 to 11:30 am
Evening Classes 6-8:30 pm


  Born in Sringeri, South India in 1954, Sri Arun grew up and completed his studies in Bangalore, where he started his career at a Chartered Accountant company. It was around this time that he developed allergy towards dust and developed asthma, which became quite severe during the rainy season.

At a colleague's suggestion he decided to try Yoga as a remedy and got initiated into Yoga in 1974. He started teaching Yoga in 1976 at the Rashtrothana Shareerika Siksha Kendra, where he gave the class in front of his Pujya Guruji Dr B.K.S. IYENGAR in the year 1978.

Teaching Yoga was a different and a very challenging experience. To quote him in his own words "As I started teaching Yoga, I saw different kinds of human bodies and thousands of complex minds; despite the apparent similarities between people I saw that each individual has very distinct needs.I appreciate the challenge of shaping body and mind of my every student".

The idea of teaching and applying Iyengar Yoga to meet and suit each individual's unique needs appealed to him immensely. He knew then that Yoga had become his true vocation.
