Mohan co-founded with T.K.V. Desikachar the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai, India, and was its Honorary Secretary from its inception, in 1976, to 1989. Mohan was the convener of Krishnamacharya's centenary celebrations.
Indra Mohan, married to A. G. Mohan and co-founder of Svastha Yoga & Ayurveda, is one of the few people who received a post-graduate diploma in yoga from Krishnamacharya.
In the foreword to Yoga for Body, Breath, and Mind, Krishnamacharya stated that his sons had deservedly reached the status of "sathirthyas", people who had studied under a guru. He added that Mohan had studied the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and was competent to teach asana and pranayama. He noted that Mohan had further studied Samkhya philosophy, while in Ayurveda he has studied diagnosis, treatment, causes of disease, and the body's constitution.
