Biography
In 1960, Luiz DeRose started teaching in a well-known philosophical society[which?]. In 1964 he founded the Instituto Brasileiro de Yôga. In 1969, he published his first book (Prontuário de Yôga Antigo).[3]
In 1975, already acknowledged as a serious teacher, he founded the União Nacional de Yôga, the first institution to join instructors and schools of all the modalities of Yôga, without discrimination. The União Nacional de Yôga prompted the movement of union, ethics and mutual respect among professionals of that area.[4][5]
In 1980, he started teaching in India as well as in Europe. In 1982, he organized the Primeiro Congresso Brasileiro de Yôga (First Brazilian Convention of Yôga). Also in 1982, he published the first book specifically aiming at the guidance of instructors, Guia do Instrutor de Yôga (Guide for the Instructor of Yôga), as well with the first Portuguese translation of the most important work of the Classical Yôga, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali 1982.[6]
In 1994, celebrating 20 years of travel to India, he founded the Primeira Universidade de Yôga do Brasil and the Universidade Internacional de Yôga in Portugal.[2]
In 2000, celebrating his 40 year teaching career, he 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).[7]
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.[4]
Over the last 50 years, DeRose has spread Yôga through books, magazines, radio and television, lectures, courses, travel and the professional training of new instructors. He has trained more than 6000 instructors and helped the creation of thousands of Yôga centres, professional associations, Federations, Confederations, and Yoga Unions. Today, his work is spread throughout the world: in Argentine, Chile, Portugal, Spain, France, The UK, Germany, Italy, US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The acknowledgment of his work is unprecedented in the history of Brazil and made him one of the most important Masters of Yoga in the country, and also the most decorated Master of Yoga of the world, with medals, titles and distinctions.
However, he always states:
Every honour I am praised with, from time to time, is a manifestation of respect that society pays to Yoga and to the work of every professional invovled in this area. Therefore I wish to share the merit of this acknowledgment with them.[4]
Swásthya Yôga
SwáSthya Yôga is the name given to the systematization by Master DeRose of pre-classical Ancient Yoga, grounded on Dakshinacharatántrika-Niríshwarasámkhya (Tantra-Samkhya) lineage. Master DeRose is a renowned scholar of ancient Indian philosophy, on which he has written a number of books.[8] 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.[2]
