A. G. Mohan hails from Tamil Nadu. He was born in 1945. He got married to Indra Mohan in 1971, and the same year the couple met their guru Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, who is known as "the father of modern yoga." He had degrees in engineering and management and a good job, newly married and age only 25. He attended one of Krishnamacharya's lectures, as he had a strong interest in spirituality. He was 80+, but looked much younger. By 1978, he quit his secure engineering job and devoted himself full-time to studying with Krishnamacharya and teaching yoga. The couple have been studying together and teaching as a couple for many years.
His guru emphasized that the practice has to be personalized. In a group, the needs of each one are different. So focus should be on individual practice. His book, Krishnamacharya: His Life and Teachings released in 2010 is an account of his studies under his great guru. Now the couple travels internationally, teaching the Yoga Sutra and other yoga texts. He also teaches Patanjali's Yoga Sutra. Their son Ganesh is currently heading Svastha Yoga & Ayurveda at Chennai.
