Yogachariya Jnandev Giri
As a previous employer - I have run a Yoga Studio before - our Foundation Course prepares you for the demands of changing a career and becoming a (self-)employed versatile Yoga teacher.
But you will get more from our courses. Its authenticity works for us from the inside out. I learned to love the good and less about myself, I learned to trust myself and to endure life; though this work is done at a deeper level on the advanced course, you will start right now with our Foundation Course in Yoga.
We present you with a blended-learning course with Online Seminars where we offer you techniques and discuss theory on Yoga and Teaching Skills, Online Material for you to practice. And, we come together for our Training Retreat, ten beautiful days practising the learned sequences and techniques, listening and discussing the Art and Science of Yoga and together grow into the Yoga versatile and insightful teachers an employer will want to hire.
We will be with you all the way.
Prajnananda (aka. Marcio da Rosa)
Giving you a head start.
Starting to teach can be overwhelming. Therefore, we created template classes which you can work with or modify according to your audiences' level.
One Course, different styles.
Learn from our excellent traditional-based course, and you will know how to sequence any class, from Yin style to restorative (our Gentle Yoga), from Hot Yoga and Iyengar style (our Posture-based) to Vinyasa Flow (our movement-based and power yoga).
More time building your teaching confidence.
We dedicate more hours to your teaching skills, preparing you for a change of career.
Preparing you for the future.
Our Foundation Course set a high bar for all other training you can take with us, from our Advanced Course to our Specialised Therapeutic Courses.
We are committed to preparing you for the future, and we invite you to join us today.
Pranayama: energy, mood, mind-body connection.
Pranayama is more than breathing exercises. It affects your personality, your mood, your energy.
Correcting posture, building strength.
Did you know? Between the primary and accessory, twelve muscles affect your respiration. Our Pranayama exercises will help you get them stronger.
Giving you more tools for your classes.
Our pranayama exercises are complementary to the sequences we teach. Calm class? - use our Chandra Pranayama. Vitality Class? - use our Suriya Pranayama. Balanced Class? - Use our (anu)Loma-Viloma Pranayama.
Everything is energy.
With Pranayama, you set the tone and mood of your class. Your students will learn and use these exercises at home, helping them to gather the energy to go through the day.
With our Teacher Training Courses, You will learn to change lives.
Yoga counters our stressful lives.
With more demands on us from work, friendships, family, and society, our exercises provide an opportunity to reset.
Reprograming our thoughts and emotions.
Working on positivity (Maitri) is a daily practice, like breathing and doing our Yogasana (exercise) practices, so we keep bad energy away.
Stronger body-mind-spirit connections.
You learn to accept, revise and "let go" of thoughts which will affect and manifest in your body, way of thinking and personality or spirit.
Building reality resistance.
Living is stressful. But with our exercises, you will learn to "become more resistant to what life throws at us". (Patanjali)
Learning to be a Yoga teacher will give you the tools to help people through their caving times.
Food for thought.
The yogic theory has been in the making for thousands of years. Open the eyes to the wisdom of the Rishis (wise seers).
Helping us grow.
The mission of authentic Yoga is about personal growth through enquiry, conduct, mobility, energy and focus on our Dharma (duties).
Individuals, society, and the wider universe.
You will become a role model to society, and you will take to heart the harmony of all beings on the planet (and the universe).
A life-view, a lifestyle.
Yourself and your view of the world will change by adopting all the teachings of Yoga - not just a few. Yoga is a lifestyle option.
Opening your Ajna Chakra, your eye of wisdom.

About your Instructors
Yogachariya Jnandev Giri
- Founder and Senior Sanatan & Gitananda Yoga Teacher
Yogachariya Jnandev Started his studies in Yoga at the Jain Vishwa Bharati University, Ladnun and in 2000 and completed his MSC in Preksha Meditation and Yoga as a gold medallist.
Here he was blessed by the presence of his Guru Sthita Prajna Ji, who guided Jnandev on every level of his sadhana. Also, Jnandev spent most of his time in one of the richest libraries, where he managed to read or study many original scriptures and manuscripts.
Since 2000, Jnandev has written many articles, and research papers in India. This was the beginning point of this yoga course. Since then, Jnandev has visited and lived in many ashrams, and yoga institutes to learn, practice and grow in his sadhana.
From 2003 to 2006, Jnandev worked in one of the most reputed schools in Jaipur (M.G.P.S, Vidyadhar Nagar, Jaipur) and learned, followed and taught various hatha yoga kriya sets and asanas and mudras from beginners to advanced levels during this time.
During this time to understand our mind from a modern perspective, Jnandev also completed a Master in Psychotherapy and Counselling course (distance learning).
2006-07 Jnandev, in search of advancing his sadhana yogic development and for the true authentic yoga , arrived at Ananda Ashram, Puducherry and completed the six-month advanced yoga teacher training course under the guidance of his now Guru Ammaji Meenakshi Devi and Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani. This intensive six-month course in Gitananda Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga gave a new life or birth to the present Jnandev. Ammaji also gave the name and title ‘Yogachariya Jnandev’ to Surender at the end of the course, which he uses in most parts of his life now.
After meeting with Yogacharini Deepika, Jnandev arrived in the UK in 2008. In 2009 he established Yoga Satsanga Ashram, Wales, UK, and in 2010-11 started to run the first foundation course in Yoga compiled from all these writings and teachings Jnandev was working on since 2000. Since then, Jnandev has authored nine books and more to be published, along with compiling Yoga Teacher Training Course, Kids Yoga Teacher Training Course, Yoga Therapy Course and many other such courses with the full assistance of Yogacharini Deepika.
The Sanatan Yoga primarily follows Gitananda Yoga but also has a great input of teachings and blessings of Jain Vishwas Bharati, Hatha Yoga Guru Balendu Giriji, Mahavira Nathaji and many more divine souls. Blessings of Ammaji and Dr. Ananda have kept, Jnandev on this straight path of Yoga.
Since 2021 Yogachariya Jnandev has founded Gurukula – Home of Sanatan Yoga Sadhana and Education, Portugal.
