Bhoomaji started practicing yoga in 1988. He has 20 years experience of teaching yoga. Born and educated in Kerala (South India), Bhoomaji entered into the monastic life of renunciation & spirituality at the age of 18. After seven years studying the Sanskrit language and scriptures in Sivagiri Math in Varkala, he moved on to Sivananda Ashram in Neyyar Dam, Kerala - for the intense practice of yoga sadhana (pranayama practice). From the Sivananda Tradition, Bhoomaji completed the Yoga Teachers Training Course and Advanced Teachers Training Course (ATTC) in 1996 and has also completed three Sadhana Intensive courses since then. After completing the ATTC, Bhoomaji lived in a cave for 5 months in Gangotri (the source of the Ganges in the Himalayas) for intensive yoga practice. He has also travelled to France, Spain, Bulgaria, Greece, Cambodia and Malaysia. During his stay in the Sivananda Ashram in Neyyar Dam, Bhoomaji was teaching Yoga, as well as providing his voluntary services in other departments of the ashram.

Bhoomaji also studied Sidha Vaidyam (a form of alternative medicine in South India) and Marma Vidya (Pressure Point) from Rajkumar Aashan, in Marthandom, Tamil Nadu. He is registered with Yoga Alliance as an Expert Yoga Teacher. In 2002, he left the ashram and started teaching yoga in various parts of India like Dharmasala, Himachal Pradesh and Kerala.

Currently he is running one month 200 and 300 Hour intensive yoga teacher training courses in Kerala, India. He also visits abroad to take classes and attend various yoga conferences.
