Anandajyoti (Anthony Tribe), is a longtime member of Triratna, ordained in 1978. He started practicing yoga in London, UK in the mid 1970s. After studying with B.K.S. Iyengar in India, in 1979 he became certified as an Iyengar teacher. He taught in England and Europe for sixteen years before moving to the US, where his teaching has been influenced by the more breath-focused emphasis of T.K.V. Desikachar. Anandajyoti is also a Buddhist scholar, with a doctorate in Indian Tantric Buddhism from Oxford University. He taught in the Asian Studies program at the University of Montana, Missoula, for seven years. Today he is a Senior Fellow at the Center for Buddhist Studies at the University of Arizona, Tucson, and the author of Tantric Buddhist Practice in India: Vilāsavajra’s Commentary on the Mañjuśrī-nāmasaṃgīti (2016)and co-author of Buddhist Thought: A Complete Introduction to the Indian Tradition (2012), both published by Routledge.
