Dr. Yogrishi Vishvketu is a PhD, lineage holder, and lifelong Yogi who has spent over four decades reviving and globally sharing the deepest streams of India’s Yogic heritage. From the age of eight, he trained in the sacred Gurukul tradition and was later formally initiated into the Vedic Adi Nath Shiva lineage. He earned a PhD in Yoga, alongside national and university gold medals, before dedicating over 25 years to developing and sharing practical systems of self-healing grounded in timeless Yogic wisdom.
He is the founder of Akhanda Yoga, a holistic, trauma-informed approach to Yoga, and the creator of six renowned systems including Classical Kundalini Yoga, Five Koshas Style, Inner Reprogramming, Hatha-Raja Yoga, and Akhanda Yoga Nidra. These systems are now taught and practiced by Yoga teachers, therapists, athletes, conscious leaders, and wellness professionals around the world.
Over 8,000 teachers from 154+ countries have trained with him. He is the author of the authoritative *Encyclopedia of Yogasana*, mapping over 800 Asanas to their corresponding Chakra systems, and co-author of the Forbes-acclaimed *Business Casual Yogi*, which bridges Yogic wisdom with dharmic entrepreneurship.

Experiential Objectives
Participants will leave the retreat with a deepened capacity for internal witnessing and self-regulation through breath, silence, and meditation.
