Who will guide you at pavithram

At Pavithram, you're not just taught—you’re held, seen, and guided. Our teachers don’t just instruct Ayurveda and conscious living; they live it, breathe it, and offer it to you with sincerity and care.

Kannan, the heart and soul behind Pavithram Ayur Yoga Ashram, is a dedicated South Indian teacher and healer with over 11 years of experience in Rishikesh. His journey began as a Marma therapist, gradually expanding into the vast and healing world of Ayurveda. He holds a diploma in Ayurveda and is a certified practitioner in alternative medicine—specializing in Acupuncture, one of the finest expressions of Marma, as well as in Homeopathy.

His thirst for knowledge and truth led him to live and learn with many Gurus across India, especially immersing himself in ashrams where he deeply studied Indian philosophy and the science of inner stillness. Meditation became his path to peace.

Rooted in tradition, Kannan also carries with him the ancient wisdom of Kalaripayattu and Mudgar training, which he began exploring during his school days and later refined during his years in Kerala. With 8 years of experience in teaching Ayurvedic lifestyle and over a decade of expertise in Marma and Acupuncture, his teachings offer a truly holistic approach to well-being.

Kannan's passion for healthy and conscious living radiates through every class, consultation, and conversation. For anyone seeking to build or rebuild their life in alignment with nature and truth, Pavithram is nothing short of a blessing.
