About the author of yogaclass.net

Vyasadev has practiced Yoga for many years and enjoys a rich experience of life through enhanced awareness and health.

Bruce first experienced the life-enhancing benefits of Yoga when he attended Yoga classes at a London Adult Education centre in 1970. This led to a trip on a London Double Bus through Denmark, Germany, Austria, Jugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Afganisthan, Pakistan, India and Nepal.

Bruce travelled around India for a year staying in remote villages, temples and ashrams. He was inspired by gurus and others that he met along the way, especially Chandra Mohan near Agra and Swamis Chidananda and Krishnananda of Sivanandashram, Rishikesh. He then found his guru Paramahansa Swami Satyananda Saraswati and joined the Bihar School of Yoga. He received initial training in Yoga under the guidance of his guru in Munger, Bihar, then spent another 3 years working on an ashram farm in Rajnandgaon, Madya Pradesh, milking cows, growing rice, studying and teaching Yoga and administering yoga therapy.

In 1975 Bruce was initiated into the Saraswati Dasnami by Paramahansa Satyananda and given the name Swami Vyasadevananda Saraswati. Vyasadev was awarded the title "Acharya" which qualifies him to teach a wide range of Yogic Kriyas. Vyasadev travelled through Africa and then back to the UK where he achieved the British Wheel of Yoga Teachers Diploma under the guidance of the London Satyananda Yoga Centre.

Vyasadev now teaches Yoga Classes in Reading, Berkshire, England.

Vyasadev also leads kirtans.

Vyasadev also works in Information Technology and Photography. He builds websites and internet databases, including the British Wheel of Yoga South website.
