Rooted in tradition, designed for the modern journey. Savyoga is a space where movement meets mindfulness, and healing becomes a way of life.
Every human being holds a unique inner space untouched by misery or dukkha. Yoga recognizes this space as a special, radiant light—Visoka va Jyotismati.
As a practice, Yoga provides a universal path to feel, acknowledge, and connect with this space to nurture beauty and wholeness in one's life.
SAVYOGA feels that it's time to see beyond the conventional lens—that yoga is merely an exercise. We intend to educate and guide people on the deeper, transformational, and therapeutic aspects of yoga to explore its subtler potentials.
We aim to spread robust awareness in society via dynamic interaction with people through workshops, retreats, and webinars to offer meaningful solutions through yoga.

Sandeep is a former Pilot and UN peacekeeper who discovered a new way of living through Yoga. He has formally studied at KYM, Chennai, a prestigious therapy institute in India, for six years.
Guided by the aspiration to help his students understand their somatic environment, his classes are an intriguing mix of movements, dynamic breath patterns, visualization, and chants. The foundation of his classes is based on the phrase by the revered teacher T.K.V. Desikachar: “In whatever we do, breath is the master.”
Sandeep grew up in the Himalayan state of Jammu and Kashmir and the plains of Punjab. Since both states have a rich and ancient history of Vedic and tantric traditions, he was fortunate to absorb the fundamentals early in life.
He lives with his wife in Hyderabad, India, and has a grown-up son. Apart from his deep fondness for yoga, Sandeep loves being in the mountains, reading, winter sun, and good humor.

“Yoga is my life,” says André — a reflection of how deeply the practice shapes his work and daily living.
Originally from Brazil and based in the United States since 2000, André began his career as a journalist, working as an international correspondent for Brazilian media before becoming a publisher and editor of a digital lifestyle magazine in Los Angeles. His background in storytelling and cultural insight continues to inform his thoughtful, intentional approach to teaching.
Yoga entered his life in 2007. He completed his first teacher training in 2015 and deepened his studies in 2019 at the renowned Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai, India, immersing himself in the classical and therapeutic foundations of yoga.
Today, André blends clarity, tradition, and compassion in his teaching, creating supportive spaces for self-discovery, healing, and meaningful transformation. He lives along Florida’s Emerald Coast with his wife and children.

Movement has always been Viviane’s preferred language. Growing up in the mountains of Minas Gerais, Brazil, she was encouraged to engage with various dance forms starting at the tender age of six. It was through dance that she discovered the body’s potential to express and heal.
Continuing her quest for knowledge, Viviane earned a degree in Physical Education and devoted her early career to supporting children and seniors through her insights into sports and movement. Her extensive work in schools, studios, and wellness spaces laid a robust foundation for a deeper path.
Later, she was drawn to the wisdom of Yoga and studied extensively at the prestigious Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM) in Chennai, India. She graduated as a teacher in 2013 and later completed the International Yoga Therapist course.
Her teachings are aligned with the KYM approach to breath; she believes that breath is the rhythm that shapes the music of movement as a whole. Viviane loves Rome and has been living there since 2006, guiding people through the power of conscious breath toward awareness and healing.
