Hatha Sivananda Yoga

Sivananda Yoga is a traditional, slow-paced, and deeply spiritual form of Hatha Yoga. It focuses on preserving the health and wellness of the practitioner through a holistic lifestyle approach. It was synthesised and brought to the West by Swami Vishnudevananda in 1959, based on the core spiritual teachings of his guru, Swami Sivananda. Unlike faster-paced contemporary fitness styles, Sivananda Hatha Yoga integrates physical movement with a heavy emphasis on breathwork (pranayama), meditation, and relaxation.

Dhanush has completed a Teacher Training Course (TTC) in Sivananda Yoga at the Sivananda Ashram in Kerala in November 2025, earning the title "Yoga Siromani" (Teacher of Yoga, 200 hours). He has experience volunteering in Auroville, India, and Taiping, Malaysia, where he interacted with international guests and learned about multicultural and sustainable practices. His skills include administrative support, teaching, and relationship building. He is fluent in Tamil and English. There are no other formal certifications or training listed beyond the Sivananda Yoga TTC.
