Biography

Early life and education

In 1960, DeRose started teaching in a well-known philosophical society (Rosacruz). In 1964 he founded the Instituto Brasileiro de Yôga. In 1969, he published his first book: Prontuário de Yôga Antigo.

In 1975, already a world renowned teacher, DeRose founded the União Nacional de Yôga, the first institution to unite instructors and schools of all modalities of Yôga, without discrimination. The União Nacional de Yôga prompted the movement of union, ethics and mutual respect among professionals of that area.

Over the next 24 years DeRose took yearly research trips to India and Europe. In 1982, he organized the Primeiro Congresso Brasileiro de Yôga (First Brazilian Convention of Yôga). Also in 1982, he published a unique book aimed at the teaching of teachers, Guia do Instrutor de Yôga (Guide for the Instructor of Yôga), as well as the first Portuguese translation of the most important work of the Classical Yôga, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali 1982.

In 1994, DeRose founded the Primeira Universidade de Yôga do Brasil and the Universidade Internacional de Yôga in Portugal.

In 2000, he celebrated a 40 year teaching career and was awarded the title of Mestre de Yôga (Master of Yôga) and Notório Saber em Yôga by several Universities: FATEA – Faculdades Integradas Teresa d’Ávila (São Paulo, Brazil), Universidade de Cruz Alta (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil), Universidade Estácio de Sá (Minas Gerais, Brazil), Faculdades Integradas Coração de Jesus (São Paulo, Brazil); and also by the Câmara Municipal de Curitiba (Paraná, Brazil).

This followed many other titles, among them, in 2001, he was granted the Comenda da Ordem do Mérito de Educação e Integração by the Sociedade Brasileira de Educação e Integração. In 2003 he was awarded the title of Comendador, by the Academia Brasileira de Arte, Cultura e História. In 2004 he was awarded the degree Cavaleiro, by the Ordem dos Nobres Cavaleiros de São Paulo, acknowledged by the Comando do Regimento de Cavalaria Nove de Julho, of the Polícia Militar do Estado de São Paulo.

Since 1960 DeRose has taught and defended a lifestyle that values well-being, strength, power, civility and culture. He still works writing books and magazine articles, giving radio and television interviews, lectures and courses across the world as well as offering professional teaching of teachers. He has trained more than 6000 teachers.

Swásthya Yôga

SwáSthya Yôga is the name given to the systematization by Master DeRose of pre-classical ancient yoga, grounded on the Dakshinacharatántrika-Niríshwarasámkhya (Tantra-Samkhya) lineage. Master DeRose has written a number of books on ancient Indian philosophy. The systematization is gaining recognition and respect around the world, mainly in Latin America and Europe. Swásthya Yôga is a part of the DeRose Method ("Método DeRose" in Spanish and Portuguese), or "Méthode De Rose" in French.
