A Short Talk With Satinder ji

Meet Satinder Ji. Satinder Ji is an Ashtanga Yoga teacher and a dedicated Maa Kaali Sadhak who now spends most of his time in Mysore. He learned Ashtanga Yoga directly within the traditional lineage of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (Guruji) and Sharath Ji, carrying forward the teachings with sincerity and devotion. The Ashtanga tradition was developed and taught worldwide through the work of Pattabhi Jois and later Sharath Jois in Mysore. I first met Satinder Ji during a teaching program in 2022. Later, I had the privilege of studying and practicing under his guidance for nearly a year. In 2024, when he returned to Dehradun, I once again had the opportunity to practice with him, which was a truly special experience. During that time, I recorded this video as a memory of our time together and asked him a few questions to better understand his perspective on yoga, practice, and life. Having dedicated more than 27 years to yoga, his insights come from decades of consistent practice, study, and spiritual discipline. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from him and to share a small glimpse of his wisdom through this conversation.
