インドで最も神聖な都市の一つカンチプラムで生まれ、11歳からヨガを始める。スワミ・チャンドラナンダに弟子入りし、15歳でティーチャートレーニングを終えると、最高の指導者を意味する「ヨガ・バスカラ」を受賞。 さらに2001年には「ベスト・ヨガ・マスター・アウォード(最高指導者賞)」を受賞。

その長く豊富な指導実績は、子供から高齢者、障がい者施設までと幅広く、誰もが安心して身を預けられる数少ないヨガマスターとして絶大な信頼と人気を博している。 

流派に関係なく、ヨガの真髄を学べる学校「ワナカムヨガスクール」創始者。ここ数年は毎年来日を重ね、ヨガをヨガとして伝えるため"移動アシュラム(=インドのヨガの学び舎)"さながら、アジアを中心に国内外各地を飛び回る日々。開催されるすべての講座、指導者養成集中トレーニングは毎回多数の参加者で会場が埋め尽くされている。

Born in the spiritually renowned temple city of Kancheepuram, South India, Sudhakar was blessed to have started practicing yoga at the young age of 11.  Sudhakar quickly embraced the wise teachings and spiritual education from his first guru Swami Chandrananda. He completed his teacher training at the International Sivananda Yoga Centre at the age of 15. As the youngest graduate, Sudhakar was notably awarded ‘Yoga Sharomani’, or ‘Best Teacher’ award. In 2001, Sudhakar returned to Sivananda, in Kerala, to advance his teaching techniques. His talents as a teacher trainer, his innovative teaching style and commitment to his students, earned him the title, ‘Yoga Yogacharya’, meaning ‘Master of Yoga’.Sudhakar is one of the few yoga masters who could guide younger children to elderly or disabled people in yoga practice because of his long and wide range of achievement and has become highly reliable and hugely popular. 

 And now, he has created the Vanakkam Yoga School where anyone can learn the essence of yoga. He has visited Japan quite often over the last few years and spent his time to convey the origin of yoga to students in the Asia region and he’s just like a mobile ashram (a place for striving towards a yogic goal). All workshops and teacher training courses are packed full of students every time.
