Svojas Wellness was founded by Gopala Krishna T, whose passion for yoga and holistic living began in 2001. In 2003, he started Patanjali Vivekananda Yoga Kendra, focusing only on yoga practice and teaching. With time and changing needs, he envisioned yoga as a professional path and expanded the centre into a holistic wellness space. This transition was strengthened after completing a Diploma in Naturopathy in 2011, along with a Yoga Instructor Course.

​

His yoga journey began under the guidance of Harsha and later deepened at Rashtrothana Sharirika Shikshana Kendra, where he trained with Shri Lakshman. Inspired to explore further, he pursued the Naturopathy Therapist Training Course (NTTC) at S-VYASA, where he met Shree K.R. Muralidhar, a senior Iyengar Yoga teacher and disciple of Padma Vibhushan Dr. B.K.S. Iyengar. With his mentor’s blessings, Gopala Krishna had the rare privilege of learning directly from Dr. Iyengar during his visits to Bengaluru and attending workshops by Geetha Iyengar and Prashanth Iyengar in Pune. He also enriched his practice by attending yoga festivals and workshops with Shree Arun.

​

Today, he holds several qualifications, including RYT-200, EIYT-1500, CMOT (Manual Osteopathy Techniques), OVCM (Visceral & Cranial Manipulation), Marma Chikitsa, Nadi Pariksha, Reiki (Levels 1 & 2), Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga, and Garbhasanskar. He is currently advancing his studies with YTTC-500 and an MD in Acupuncture.

​

Through years of dedication, Gopala Krisna has transformed Svojas into a centre of integrated healing—bringing together yoga, naturopathy, osteopathy, acupuncture, and other therapies to promote balance, resilience, and holistic health.
