Mysuru, Karnataka, India
Mohan Raj Krishnamurthy is an integral personality in the Yoga arena and a renowned Yoga teacher from Mysuru, Karnataka. His passion for this ancient practice goes back to his childhood days, inspiring him to convert Yoga into his profession. It all began with the effects of life-changing events, and his keen interest in Yoga enabled him to visit China at a young age to promote and raise awareness of Yoga culture. The enriching experience was the driving factor to setting up his Yoga studio in 2013, which laid the foundation to expand his dreams and establish multiple projects under his parent brand. With comprehensive expertise in Yoga, Mohan is taking significant steps to inspire and transform millions worldwide through the ancient practice and promote Yoga as a way of life.
Much of his current teachings actively take place across India and China, including workshops on Yoga and Yoga therapy across different locations worldwide. For complete details regarding my experience and teachings, please visit:
