Chandrakant is a senior teacher for the Amrit Yoga Institute and presents nationally and overseas in the Integrative Amrit Methods as well as a variety of other yoga and stress-reduction based programs. As a student and practitioner of yoga and meditation with Gurudev Shri Amritji for over forty years, his experience has given him a solid foundation for implementing programs that nurture and encourage positive changes in behavior and understanding through direct perception.

Chandrakant is a preacher’s son, a Vietnam era veteran, a graduate of Rutgers University with a degree in psychology and a longtime practitioner of the martial arts. He brings a unique blend of street-level experience, understanding and practical psychology to all his seminars and workshops, conducting programs for educational organizations, recovery groups, community service agencies, hospital staff and large corporations, as well as yoga and meditation groups. In 2008, Yogi Desai bestowed upon Chandrakant the title of Yogacharya, preceptor of Yoga. This is the same title that Swami Shri Kripalunanda bestowed upon Yogi Desai in 1972.
