Vijeth was born into a family deeply rooted in the traditions of Yoga and Vedanta, where the philosophy and practices of yoga were woven naturally into everyday life from the very beginning. Growing up surrounded by these teachings, he developed an early connection to the deeper spiritual and philosophical dimensions of yoga.
At a young age, Vijeth was introduced to the revered yogi Sri Niranjana Saraswati, whose presence and humility left a profound impact on him and planted the seeds for a lifelong path in yoga. Inspired by his family and guided by his sister, he later became a dedicated student of BNS Iyengar in Mysore, immersing himself in the traditional practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.
His devotion to yoga eventually led him to pursue postgraduate studies in Yogic Sciences and Human Consciousness at Mangalore University, where he deepened his understanding of yogic philosophy, consciousness studies, meditation, and traditional yogic practices.
Over the last decade, Vijeth has taught yoga internationally across a wide range of trainings, retreats, and educational programs, working with students of all backgrounds and experience levels. Through years of teaching and personal practice, he has come to understand that every individual requires unique guidance, attention, and support in order to truly grow and flourish through yoga.
