At 31, Govinda began to devote himself solely to the practice of yoga, studying for 2-3 years with senior Iyengar instructors including Patricia Walden, Rodney Yee, and Judith Lasater. Since 1995, Govinda has practiiced Ashtanga Yoga and visits Mysore, India for 3-6 months every year to study with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. He has also worked extensively with senior Ashtanga practitioners such as Richard Freeman, Tim Miller, Danny Paradise, and Eddie Stern. He is a senior teacher at Patanjali Yoga Shala in NYC and was featured in the 2002 Yoga Journal calendar.
"As a result of my relationship with Pattabhi Jois and all my time in India, my life has changed dramatically. The entire purpose of my teaching now is to honor the tradition of Ashtanga yoga as taught by Pattabhi Jois and to share the deeper, often hidden aspects of the practice. Yoga has the power to fundamentally change one's life in amazing ways. Every time I teach I attempt to share this quality with each and every student."
