Yogi Indresh Batra (EYRT 200) has been a seeker of yoga knowledge since childhood. His belief in Yoga science as one of the original Indian knowledge for evolution of human spirit has been unflinching. Contrary to our current template of Yoga, primarily being positioned as a physical exercise with some breathing to unsuspecting seekers, he has practiced as a tool of self transformation with spiritual involvement.

Yog is increasingly loosing its majestic status with deep spiritual and philosophical insights to modern day positioning of either difficult physical postures or abstract things like Kundalini and magic without any reference to texts or Practicing sages.

He has been a leading global entrepreneur and now wants to take up the cause of spreading the knowledge of authentic Yog as referenced in the texts, he has set up Yogshala in Rishikesh.

He has spent significant time with leading Yog Gurus in understanding the subtle concepts all stages of Ashtanga Yoga. He has special focus on Pranayama, Yoga Sutras and Tantra Darshan. He is A dikshit in Sri Vidya, the esoteric royal path in Tantra and loves to talk about this great Indian wisdom with aspiring Sadhakas.
