He served as her principal assistant and personal secretary for seven years, organising numerous AYM training courses in India and accompanying her on international trips. This experience profoundly shaped Ananta’s path, and he continues to maintain a close and unwavering commitment to Ayurvedic Yoga Massage and Kusum’s legacy to this day.

Furthermore, from 2007 to 2019, Ananta trained in Biodynamic Osteopathy (Phases I and II) with its founder, Dr. James Jealous, D.O., in the United States.

Rich, warm, and precise, he emphasises a compassionate approach that encourages us to discover and explore the healing potential of conscious touch and assisted stretches based on the science of yoga, while remaining firmly rooted in the original AYM method of Master Kusum Modak.
