He started practising yoga according to S. Yesudian in the late 1950s and later learned various aspects of yoga and meditation through European, Indian and Taiwanese masters (Swami Shivananda, Dr. M.V. Bhole, Swami Satyananda, Swami Nirvananda, Mastaram Babu, Deoraha Baba, Prabhudatta Brahmachari, Rev. Ming Ting, Mahaswi Tathata and others).

He has led and facilitated yoga, human potential development, auto-ecology and trans-personal courses across Europe since 1975. He is an associated professor at the Technical University in Kosice. Geza is the President of the Slovak Yoga Association. He is author of nearly 100 books and papers on yoga and related subjects.

His interest in music as a tool for transformation brought about his co-operation with Ivo. His facilitative knowledge and experience provides the link between the music, yoga & trans-personal techniques.

Ivo Sedlacek

Ivo graduated in 1991 from the Academy of Musical Arts in Prague as a student of the renowned Czech violinist Vaclav Snitil. After graduation he set out for India, where he studied Indian classical music for five years under several well-known musicians - Dr.N.Rajam, Sangeeta Shankar, Pandit Dinkar Kaikini and Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia. During Ivo´s years in India he also taught and widely performed European classical music.

Through personal meetings with several great Indian spiritual masters, he was able to penetrate the deeper therapeutic and spiritual aspects of music.

Ivo now focuses primarily on his own original music (available on many CDs) which emerges from his rich experience, spontaneous creativity, and a desire to touch the subtle spiritual levels of his listeners.

He performs solo and is also a member and co-founder of Fontana, Yamuna and Kailash music groups. Apart from concert and recording activities, he also conducts workshops on mantra chanting and music therapy.
