About Sajan

Sajan Sankaran's profound journey into the realms of yoga and Indic knowledge systems began during his childhood through the guidance of the Chinmaya Mission. Since 2004, his commitment to the path of yoga has deepened under the tutelage of HH Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and the Art of Living Foundation. As a trained yoga instructor from the esteemed S-VYASA Yoga University, he has honed his expertise in the transformative practice of yoga. During his B.Tech studies at IIT Bombay, Sajan discovered a profound connection between the principles of yoga and the mesmerizing art form of Dhrupad music. Recognizing the harmonious alignment between the two, he felt compelled to delve deeper into the Dhrupad tradition. Fortuitously, he was accepted as a full-time disciple of the revered Dhrupad Gurus, the Gundecha Brothers, and spent an extensive part of eight years as a resident student at their esteemed Bhopal Gurukul. Today, Sajan actively performs and imparts the essence of Dhrupad, while also engaging in various artistic and academic projects. His artistic pursuits have taken him on tours across the United States and Europe, captivating audiences with his mastery of Dhrupad. Additionally, he has contributed scholarly papers to prestigious journals, including Springer-Nature, further enriching the discourse on music and yoga. While Sajan continues to nurture his connection with Dhrupad through regular visits to the Gurukul, he has founded 'Svara Yog' as a heartfelt endeavor to merge his two core passions—Dhrupad and yoga. By creating this symbiotic space, he deepens his personal engagement and invites others to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, where the rich traditions of yoga and Dhrupad converge harmoniously.

About the lesson

As a teacher, my approach is rooted in creating an inclusive and engaging learning environment where students can deeply connect with the teachings of the Yog Sutras. I believe in making the complex concepts of yoga accessible to students of all backgrounds and levels of experience. My teaching techniques and methods are designed to foster a sense of curiosity, exploration, and personal growth.

In each class, we embark on a transformative journey through a carefully structured approach. We begin by setting an intention, creating a sacred space where students can cultivate a receptive mindset. We then delve into the Yog Sutras, exploring each verse with depth and clarity. My teaching style involves a combination of lecture-style explanations, discussions, and some possible alternative exercises to imbibe the wisdom of the text.

The usual structure of a class typically involves:

1. Warm-up and centering: We start with gentle warm-up exercises through breath awareness techniques and some simple chanting to prepare the body and mind for the teachings ahead.

2. Verse exploration: We delve into the Yog Sutras, exploring the word-to-word meanings, context, and practical implications of each verse. I provide detailed commentary to enhance understanding and encourage students to ask questions and share their insights.

3. Reflection and discussion: We engage in meaningful discussions, sharing personal experiences, and reflections on how the teachings relate to our daily lives. This fosters a sense of relatability and encourages deep integration of the knowledge.

4. Closing and integration: We conclude each class by creating space for integration and reflection, with thoughts for further exploration outside the classroom.

As a teacher, I bring a unique blend of expertise as a certified yoga instructor and a dedicated scholar, in addition to being a Dhrupad (an ancient Indian classical music form) musician. My deep passion for yoga and its profound impact on personal growth infuses every aspect of my teaching. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where students feel comfortable to express themselves, ask questions, and embark on their own individual journey of self-discovery.

My classes are intended for individuals at various stages of their yoga journey. Whether you are a beginner seeking a holistic understanding of yoga or an experienced practitioner yearning to deepen your knowledge, the teachings of the Yog Sutras will provide invaluable insights and guidance.

So, if you are ready to embark on a transformative exploration of yoga beyond the physical practice, my classes are open to you. Join me in unraveling the wisdom of the Yog Sutras and embracing the profound path of self-realization.
