Meet Kamal
First International Yogi From Srilankan Tamil Community
I was born in Vavuniya in the northern province of Sri Lanka in 1990. I moved with my family to Chennai, India, as a 6-month-old baby to escape the Civil War. We returned to Sri Lanka in 1995 but the Civil War erupted again in 1996 so we returned once more to India. I witnessed the war and death and this lead me to pursue a powerful urge to give back to humanity in a peaceful way.
I studied and worked as a software developer and financial analyst helping small businesses while gaining further knowledge to help with my future vision. In 2006, aged 16, I began to practice traditional Ashtanga yoga under Bhishmacharya Dr T.A. Krishna (who studied under Asana R.Andiappan). In 2008, at the age of 18, I became the youngest yoga teacher in South India and the first international accredited yogi in Sri Lanka’s Tamil community. Around this time I also began to study an undergraduate program in yoga and naturopathy. In 2014 I started my first school, K2 Yoga and taught many VIPs until 2016.
I returned to Sri Lanka in 2017 and began to teach in Colombo. I taught yoga to the private security company, M3Force. But the south was calling me and I wanted to spread my knowledge and spreading the message of peace. I wanted to challenge myself and bring my yogi knowledge to everyone. Armed with a strong vision and intention to help the humanity, I joined Exhale Yoga Retreats, a travelling yoga community. I studied Vinyasa yoga with Mathieu Boldron and Yin yoga with Annie Au. In 2019, grateful for all the experience and knowledge I have gained, I set out on my own to start Now Yoga Begins here in Mirissa where I am happy to teach and lead you in traditional and modern yoga.
With the Blessings from the guru of the gurus, who is Thachinamoorthy (an Avatar of Shiva), I gained a deeper knowledge of every limb of Yoga on an intellectual as well as psychical level. Through increasing the experience within myself I’m able to experience the same on the outside. This gave me the power to rediscover the higher potential in all divine beings.
