About Nitya Mohan

Nitya Mohan, daughter of A. G. Mohan and Indra Mohan, is trained in yoga
from a very young age. She has been the director of Svastha Yoga &
Ayurveda teacher training programs in Singapore for the past 25 years and
has trained hundreds of teachers. Trained in Yoga, Chanting, Classical Indian music and Sanskrit, her unique areas of expertise combine traditional Raja yoga and Hatha yoga, along with knowledge of Sanskrit and Vedic chanting, with a graduate degree in Classical Indian music and ancient musical texts.

She conducts seminars, workshops and yoga trainings internationally. She is a skilled, experienced and compassionate teacher and an exceptional singer hailed for her purity of voice.​

About Svastha Yoga & Ayurveda
The greatest influence on yoga in modern times was undoubtedly the legendary 20th century yogi, Sri T. Krishnamacharya – a master of yoga, scholar of all Indian philosophies and a healer of repute. Krishnamacharya is widely considered the 'father' of modern yoga, having taught the world's most influential teachers and shaping yoga as we know it today.

A.G. Mohan and Indra Mohan were personal students of Krishnamacharya and are a direct link to the authentic yoga traditions. They founded the Svastha organisation in Chennai, India., and together with their adult children, Dr. Ganesh Mohan and Nitya Mohan, they have an international presence with programs around the world, and through their books on Yoga and Ayurveda. They offer training on yoga, yoga therapy, yogic mindfulness, mind and body well-being, and related areas, combining the best of ancient wisdom and modern science.

​
The Mohans have collectively published the following books books, all of which are recommended as prior reading and are for sale at Kookaburra Yoga during the workshop:
  • Yoga for Body, Breath, and Mind (1993)
  • Yoga Therapy (2004)
  • Krishnamacharya: His Life and Teachings (2010)
  • Yoga Reminder (2015)
  • Yoga Yajnavalkya: translation (2013, 2nd ed.)
  • Hatha Yoga Pradipika: Translation with Notes from Krishnamacharya (2017)

The comprehensive online platform yoga.knowledge.net features an in-depth study of yoga knowledge and related subjects presented by the Mohans and includes chanting with Nitya.
