About Franz

Since age 17, Franz has ardently pursued meditation. This passion led him to spend seven years in an ashram and gurukula (a traditional Hindu school) in India. There, he immersed himself in a monastic life, studying Sanskrit, the six systems of philosophy (Sat Darshana), and traditional ritualistic arts like puja and yagya.

After his monastic life, Franz became a disciple of Yogavisharada Sri BNS Iyengar, a master of yoga and Vedantic philosophy. Under his guidance, Franz delved deeply into the practices of Ashtanga yoga, yogic philosophy, and the Vedantic philosophies of Vishishtadvaita and Advaita. The Master also taught him tantric Hatha yoga practices, including mudras and nadanusandhana, and therapeutic yoga practices like shat karmas and yoga chikitsa (yoga therapy).

He later perfected his ritualistic arts and learned Ayurveda from the Ayurvedic and tantrik master, P.K. Madhusoodanan.
