Adarsh Williams

"I have practiced meditation and yoga since 1995 and began sharing those techniques with friends and class mates soon after. Since 1998, I've practiced therapeutic massage. In 2001, I met Pattabhi Jois which greatly influenced my practice and teaching of hatha yoga. Since then, I've traveled extensively through India for study and pilgrimage and in 2004 received authorization to teach Ashtanga Yoga by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois."

"I began practicing yoga in 1991 in the Netherlands. After a career in event management, I moved to London in 2000 to dedicate my work to teaching yoga. I met Sri K. Pattabhi Jois for the first time in 2001 and have traveled to Mysore, India 5 times since to study at AYRI."
