About Raghavendra (Gurudev)

 

Gurudev is held in regard by his students as the Master of his field.
The sharing emerges from a deep foundation of inner stillness where awareness, breath, and touch move as one.

 

His wellness journey began at the age of thirteen, shaped by a natural disposition toward silence and self-inquiry.
His life continued as he gathered experience working in various fields, including teaching, wellness, and the corporate sector.
Having realised the scope of working in different fields, he started attending more to self-enquiry through sustained meditation, yogic discipline, and contemplative practices over the years, which deepened into heightened awareness, energetic clarity, and deep inner stillness as stable states of being that were slowly integrated into everyday life.

 

Continuous meditation refined his understanding of prana, consciousness, and the movement of awareness within the system, shaping his approach to meditation as an embodied, traditionally rooted, and safe process.

 

Thai Yoga Bodywork/Yoga Mardhana became a natural extension of his meditative path, allowing inner awareness to express itself through the body.
Through touch, stillness, and breath, he came to experience the human form as a field of intelligence capable of self-regulation and healing.

 

He has trained extensively with masters of different lineages, particularly in Chiang Mai, and holds multiple advanced certifications in Thai Yoga Bodywork, Jap Sen, Tok Sen, Singing bowl, and many more, with over two decades of training across multiple modalities.
His studies in Reiki and Life Regression further deepened his understanding of subtle anatomy, the nervous system, and the imprints carried within the body and the mind.

 

Gurudev combines Meditation, Bodywork, and Energetic awareness into a single approach to healing and teaching. His guidance emphasizes grounding, which gradually deepens awareness while naturally unfolding the expansion within.
Emerging from humility and living practice, he invites students into a space of clarity, safety, and self-trust, supporting each on a journey from inner silence to embodied awareness and service.
