Vinayji began practicing Yogasanas at the tender age of seven. He soon realized that Pranayama was the key to unlocking the deeper dimensions of Yoga and therefore shifted his focus to synchronizing Pranayama (breath control) with his Asana practice..
Through constant experimentation and a deep understanding of the influence of breath on the mind, he developed a unique style of practice called Prana Vashya at the age of seventeen. Since then, he has been teaching this method at Prana Vashya Yoga Shala.
His teachings have benefited thousands of practitioners from around the world.
Vinayji possesses an exceptional ability to understand each practitioner's body, capabilities, and limitations, helping them overcome long-held physical and emotional blockages. Owing to this remarkable skill, his students fondly refer to him as the "Yoga Magician of Mysuru."
With the intention of making Pranayama accessible to a large number of people, he developed a unique 15-minute Pranayama practice called Mruthyunjaya Kriya, which offers significant benefits to those seeking inner growth and transformation.
