KRZYSZTOF STEC

Krzysztof Stec, a former research scholar at the University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, began his practice of yoga at the young age of 15 under the tutelage of the famed Tadeusz Pasek, a pioneer of yogic studies in Eastern Europe who encouraged Krzysztof to attend Kaivalyadhama in Lonavala. Krzysztof earned a diploma in yoga education in 1976 and has continued his practice of yoga ever since. In 2002, in the midst of a successful career in systems analysis at several global corporations, he came into contact with Shree Samarth Janglidas Maharaj who urged him to return to teaching yoga as a primary vocation. Towards that end, the author earned a master's degree in physical education at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi in 2009 and a doctor of philosophy degree at Jozef Pilsudski University of Physical Education, Warsaw in 2014, both in physical education. Several of his papers on Suryanamaskar have been published in international journals and he regularly lectures on yoga, health, and nutrition worldwide.
