Ranju Roy

Ranju Roy is a yoga teacher based in southwest England. Of mixed English and Bengali heritage, he was born in India but grew up in the UK and his life has been shaped and enriched by a confluence of those two cultures. Ranju worked as an art therapist and family therapist before leaving the NHS to teach yoga full time.

In 2004, he and David Charlton together founded Sādhana Mālā, an organisation specialising in teacher training, study courses and retreats. The two went on to write and publish the critically acclaimed book, Embodying the Yoga Sūtra: Support, Direction, Space in 2019.

Ranju lives in Wellington, Somerset, where he runs his own studio, Yoga Mālā. Yoga as Pilgrimage is his first solo publication.
