Udi, a Pisces born in Israel in 1977, had a deep feeling of emptiness and unhappiness in his early years. It was only at the age of 24 that he was pushed into Yoga by his older brother Moses, who has been teaching with Agama since 2000.

In that same year, Udi took the first month of the course in Rishikesh, India, and upon his return to Israel began reading the books of Swami Sivananda, which greatly inspired him. In 2003, he came to Thailand and continued his Yoga studies with Agama, but it was only later that year during the Kashmir Shaivism workshop given by Swami Vivekananda in Greece that he found the answers in life that he'd been looking for.

Udi would like to thank Moses for his support and encouragement, Swami for his guidance and for the Shaivism teachings that changed his life, and God most of all, who has always been there for him.
