By 1996 he was practicing  Ashtanga yoga regularly with a group called Ananda Marga.  He traveled extensively with Ananda Marga throughout Central America, Mexico and the USA.  

​

 Ananda Marga is a community that practices a way of life which includes, in addition to yoga asana, meditation, social services, strict vegetarianism and fasting.  He went looking for fancy exercises and instead found a practice that changed his life. Yoga has become his passion, devotion and career, in body, mind and soul. For more information about Ananda Marga, please visit here

At the end of 1997 Juan traveled to Europe to attend the Ananda Marga two year eight month intensive teacher training program at Idrefors, Sweden. He was on the path to becoming a Sadhu.  

The last part of this journey was to travel to the Varanasi and Kolkata Training Center in India. Here after another four months of practice and study in philosophy he passed the final examination and completed his training.  For more information of  Ananda Marga TTC in Sweden visit here

At the beginning of 2001 Juan came to Thailand as a Sadhu to propagate the practices and philosophy of Ananda Marga. After two years he decided to leave the organisation and started teaching yoga on his own. 

​

By 2004 Juan had given demonstrations of yoga in Chiang Mai, Rayong, Kanchanaburi, and Bangkok. He found the most interest to be in Bangkok where he established regular classes in the fitness centers of some of the top hotels there.

In 2005 Juan shifted his teaching to mostly private individual and group classes held at their houses or facilities within their community. This is the bulk of the classes he now teaches. He also conducts group classes for parents at ISB at Nichada Thani.
