Yogavijnana Yoga Centre

"Undoubtedly, Vinay belongs to that rare breed of Yoga instructors who can pull together movement, breath, posture, ayurveda, spirituality and philosophy in one go. The sequences of asanas that are integrated into each session can accommodate students of all levels and is perfectly balanced in addition to challenging each student both physically and mentally. His ability to connect with the students is unparalleled, making his teaching that much more effective. As impressive as his yoga instruction is his expansive knowledge about the history of yoga, anatomy and asanas My experience with his style of Yoga training has left me dazzled and inspired to explore further into the realm of Yoga. He teaches with an open heart and soul and allows everyone in the room to relax and get comfortable with the complex asanas. Vinay's penchant for technical perfection in the postures makes you challenge your physical and mental territories while he generously shares his energy and knowledge without expectation or judgment. I would highly recommend him to all those practitioners of Yoga regardless of whether they are a beginner or a seasoned practitioner as he has this uncanny ability to understand your body, its limitation, and strength and will work with you to help you deepen your practice. If you have the opportunity to learn with him it will be a one of the best gifts you can give yourself! .with great admiration "

"I have been practicing and teaching Yoga, Pranayama for over 6 years to quite a few who are closer to my home. However, I was keen to join Yoga Sessions organised by TCS, with an objective for me to learn newer aspects which I was not aware. This session has helped me in fine tuning many nuances, understanding correct postures, use of many Props and techniques to arrive at correct postures, etc. These sessions would be very useful for those venturing in to Yoga. I would recommend everyone to take advantage of these sessions. Mr. Vinay has been a wonderful human being, well versed in Yoga teaching techniques. I am sure those who are interested will benefit from the Yoga Sessions. "

"A sedentary desk job during the week and active wildlife photography during Weekends proved to be disastrous to my back and neck, and I suffered from constant back pain. Having started Yoga under Vinay's tutelage has been immensely beneficial. For more than a year now, I have been free of all back problems. Vinay is very methodical in his teaching and very attentive. This helps us understand what we are doing. He has slowly and gradually eased me into attempting complicated 'asanas' which in turn has improved my strength and posture. I would highly recommend his classes to all, regardless of age, occupation and fitness levels."

"Vinay's precise, consistent and disciplined style of teaching has enabled me to make great strides in my ability to execute and understand my Yoga poses. After every class, I feel that both my mind and body have learned something new as Vinay brings a new combination of asanas in every class, and this I believe is his greatest differentiation. His classes are creative and I always want to go back as I know he will bring something new to class every time"

"Vinay has been my yoga-guru for more than a year now. I have been guided by other instructors before but two of Vinay's qualities stand out for me. First, he believes more in you than you do in yourself: He pushes you, encourages you and motivates you to move to the the next level. For me, this was a big advantage since it allowed me to try out asanas which i thought i was not capable of. Second, he thinks scientifically about Yoga too - thus, reinforcing your belief in yoga as more than an exercise. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors with Yoga."

"Its an excellent learning experience. Starting from perfect standing posture till Sarvangaasana, the techniques taught are awesome. The explanation on using Props was very convincing and made lot of sense and actually it improved the postures. The talks on Ayurveda, body composition, and tips on aligning body type with nature and overcoming any challenges are very helpful. From my personal side, I have seen major improvements in my Karate training, improvement in pain reduction. his is highly recommended course because it follows simple yet most effective principle ' Get the basics and foundation right '. "

I attended Vinay's workshop at HP Labs, on the initiative of one of our colleagues, Praphul Chandra, who practices with him for the last one year. The best part of the workshop was a scientific explanation of how we can train our body and mind to think together. The subsequent philosophical explanation was also well presented. This followed a practical demonstration of how we can incorporate Yoga in every moment of our lives. So, it is not that we have to reserve an hour every day, and work on it, but his useful tips helped me to understand, how I can always mindfully practice wherever I am. He showed a few postures that we can do even sitting at our desks, and that was very helpful. I would highly recommend his workshop to everyone who is interested in a scientific understanding of Yoga. I wish Vinay all the best in his teachings and practice."

"The experience at Yogavijnana is very enriching which helped me in discovering myself by getting involved in yoga practices. I understand the true meaning of yoga through our instructor. Vinay is very efficient in spreading the awareness of being conscious by regular practice of yoga, pranayama and meditation."

" The 10-day Yoga workshop was a perfect package to get introduced to (or in my case, re-introduced to) the basics of practicing Yoga. It is a comprehensive workshop that covers a broad array of topics, from theory to practice to philosophy to the right attitude to get the maximum benefit out of Yoga. The workshop had a broad outline to cover all the basics, and then enough flexibility to be customized and tailored for individual student needs. It was a pleasure attending the workshop and being guided and mentored by as accommodating a teacher as Vinay. And the materials and instructions would help conscientious students continue to get the best out of the workshop long after it concludes. Thanks Vinay!"

"I found your approach to introducing Yoga very easy to follow. You explained some basic premises and that was very helpful. Both scientific and philosophical approaches were easy to follow"

Yogavijnana is one of the best yoga therapy centres I have come across so far. Vinay, the Yoga Guru at Yogavijnana, has initiated certain techniques to cure chronic pains in a scientific way. I had severe lower back pain due to disc prolapse, and now after taking yoga therapy classes, i am happy to say that my pain has drastically reduced. Thanks to Vinay's healing hands. I would definitely recommend Yogavijnana for overall wellbeing and also to cure ailments.

Yogavijnan as the name indicates teaches the science of yoga. The Founder master Vinay knows what he is teaching and tells the logic very clearly as to what why and how we have to perform a particular Asana. Kudos to you Vinay sir, I have been searching for a good yoga institution and finally got one. Kudos to Vinay and Yogavijnan. It's a wonderful family to be part of.

My journey with Yogavignana started 4 months back . Within a month's time I could see amazing improvement in my strength, flexibility and balance, all thanks to Vinay Siddaiah. Every session is unique and special. The holistic approach of training is what appeals to me the most. Body, mind n soul are simultaneously nourished and strengthened. The ambiance is unique with pyramid shaped yoga hall. Highly recommend.

This is THE best yoga center!!! I love coming here. The teacher is fantastic and they have a great variety of classes. If you're considering yoga try this place!

One of the best place to learn and cherish with yoga in Bangalore. I enjoy all the classes to the core. Instructor is friendly and attention will be given for each and every student in the class. And economic too :-):-):-) I feel really happy to start my day with Yogavijnana.

Very motivational. This is the best yoga studio you can be in. Helps you take ownership of the work at the studio. Helps you learn the philosophy and the science behind yoga.
