Creator and Founder of Skanda Yoga Ken «Anand» von Roenn (ERYT 500) embarked on his yoga journey in 1995 at Arizona State University, initially drawn to Iyengar yoga to enhance his rock climbing prowess. Following injuries and three surgeries resulting from climbing, he turned to yoga as a means of physical and mental rehabilitation. His dedication led him to enroll in the Yoga East teacher training program in Louisville, Kentucky, where he discovered a passion for sharing his knowledge through teaching.

Over the next decade, Ken delved into various yoga styles, instructing in hatha, Ashtanga Vinyasa, and Anusara Yoga. Upon his relocation to Miami in 2005, his practices and teachings evolved into the distinctive style of Skanda Yoga (RYS), earning recognition from the Yoga Alliance as an independent yoga style. Ken is the accomplished author of three books: «The Practice of Skanda Yoga,» «Classes of Enchantment,» and «ADHO MUKHA VRKSASANA.»

In addition to his literary contributions, Ken has developed a mobile app named «Skanda Yoga Practice,» offering a convenient platform for accessing his classes and teachings. Known for his dynamic and engaging style, his classes are a blend of enjoyment, information, and challenge.
