Our Team of Teachers
Roshan Palat
Founder & Anuttara Yog Tantra Vidya TeacherRoshanji, the founder of AryaMarga Yoga Institute, embarked on a one-way journey to find his unknown Guru after relinquishing completely his vocation as a lawyer in 2007.
By the Laws of Karma, Roshanji discovered his Guru, Swami Maharaj Ganapat Giri, in a mountain forest close to the tiny mountain village of Silla, Uttarakhand in 2008. The 4 years spent with Swamiji was akin to a second birth for Roshanji. Instructed in Dreams and Waking state by Swamiji, Roshanji was enabled to enter the hallowed portals of Great Anuttara Yoga Tantra, the Highest and Ancient Syncretic System of Yoga.
Upon the instruction of his Root Guru, Swami Ganapati Giri, Roshanji journeyed to Bir-bililng in Himachal Pradesh to receive initiation in Vajrayana Tantra from the world renowned Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche and Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo. The aim was to Integrate the Ancient Naga Order’s teachings with the later developed Vajrayana Tantra system, both of which systems’ origins lay in the teachings of 84 Mahasiddhas or Accomplished Masters whose immortal presence is eternal.
Thanida Palat
Co-founder & Hatha Asana TeacherCookie Ji, a citizen of Thailand, has been teaching various forms of traditional Hatha Yoga across Thailand and India. She has received advanced Hatha training from Kaivalyadham, Pune, Bihar Yoga Bharati, Munger, Sivananda Ashram, Kerala and JivamuktiYoga, New York.
Cookie ji entered upon her Acharya level of Hatha Yoga practice after receiving empowerment from Swami Maharaj Avadeshananda Giri ji, the Prime Guru/ Mandaleshwar of the ancient Naga Giri Lineage.
Cookie Ji conducts research and teaches at the AryaMarga Yoga institute where she is the Co-Founder of the Hatha Yoga Department.
The result was the 27 Asana PTAK (Pancha Tattva Asana Kriya) and 54 Asana Advanced PTAK that Cookieji was instrumental in developing, the mainstay of our Asana system.
Cookieji also developed, over the years, the Somatic Asana sequences for the prevention of 22 lifestyle diseases under the guidance of Roshanji, which sequences are taught in our Somatic Therapy TTC.
Akshat Madan
Somatic Therapy TeacherAs a former financial advisor in his past life, Akshat achieved success by societal standards, but an inner void lingered. A life-altering experience with psychedelics shook him to his core, prompting a profound quest for meaning.
Akshat set out to travel the mystical pilgrimage sites, land of Yogis and Sages. He began to experience a profound sense of connection to nature and was spellbound by the beauty and diversity that India offered. The outbound journey ignited a silent inner awakening and he discovered life as an unfolding tapestry, constantly evolving. However, Akshat found it almost impossible to make any coherent sense of his spiritual experience.
The thirst for knowledge remained unsatiated. It was during his meeting with Roshanji, that an instant and deep connection was formed to a living lineage of yogic masters. He took the quantum leap and decided to fully immerse and dedicate himself to this new lifestyle, and since 2015 he’s been joyfully travelling with AryaMarga Yoga, practicing, learning and teaching the 4 Yoga system of the 84 Mahasiddha Lineage.
