Yogacharya Shri Jayakumar Swamysree

Yogacharya Shri Jayakumar Swamysree was born in 1964, in a middle class family in Srirangapatnam, near Mysore. He started his yogic practices along with his friends at the age of 16, under the able guidance of Shri Naadananda Swameeji who was imprisoned many times during the freedom movements of India. He is very happy to tell that he did not start yoga for any kind of illness but for the overall personality development.

After practicing yoga for three years with Swameeji, he moved to Yogaacharya Professor K. Keshavamurthy to continue his practices as Swameeji went abroad.

He started his career as a yoga cum physical education teacher in a public school at Ananthapur, Andra Pradesh, and served as a yoga coach at Thriveni Academy, Chennai for three years and joined SDM College of Naturopathy and Yogic sciences, Ujire, Karnataka, as a Lecturer in Yogic Sciences, and he was soon promoted to H.O.D of Yogic Sciences.

Meanwhile he underwent courses like Vipasanna Meditation, Sudharshana Kriya, Kundalini Meditation, Transcendental Meditation, Cyclic Meditation, and other useful, special and advanced yogic techniques like Yoganidra in Vipasanna way and Shavasana in various methods.

During this period he was called for an all India level interview from Indian Council for Cultural Relations, New Delhi, and was selected as the best among many and was deputized to Moscow, to work with the JNCC, Embassy of India, Moscow, Russia.

During his stay in Moscow, he visited different parts of Russia officially, to conduct seminars, workshops, and yoga therapy and practical classes of yoga. In about four years he taught yoga to, more than 1000 students. He had students not only from Russia but also students belonging to other countries such as France, Germany, USA, Guyana, Chile, Peru, Italy and South Asian Countries (from the various embassies in Moscow).
