Sholanki – “Coming from the corporate sector and after having experienced the stress at the job and plus a few life changing diseases, I realized the importance of yoga in a person’s wellbeing – both mental and physical. Yoga is not just what you do for an hour on the mat but it is a lifestyle and once you incorporate it into your life, you are bound to see the magic and the change that it brings in you.
Mental calmness increases in many folds and so does fitness. This is because Yoga unlike any other form of exercise is a holistic exercise that takes care, maintains and improves all the internal systems of your body leading to a healthier body and physiology. The body benefits from the movement and the mind from stillness”

Tapas – “Yoga is a union of mind, body and soul. I have been drawn towards fitness and yoga since quite a young age. The day I realized that yoga is not just about the body but also about the mind and experienced its benefits, I was firm to make it my goal to spread the benefits of Yoga to everyone. As a Yoga teacher, I strive each day so that each of my client or student gets the maximum benefit out of practicing this age old traditional form of exercise.

OUR TEACHERS

MEET OUR EXPERT TEAM

We have a team of teachers who are all not only experienced but qualified in the field of Yoga. They come with degrees and certificates from popular Universities like Jadavpur University, Vishwa Bharati, Ramakrishna Mission, Patanjali etc.

We, the partners, both being certified by Ministry of AYUSH, Govt. of India never take any teacher without proper education in yoga in our team. This is because the proper knowledge of Anatomy, Physiology and the effect of different asanas on the body is very essential for a teacher to be able to teach properly to his/her students.

The other thing, we focus on is – dedication and responsibility. Without dedication and taking responsibility of his/her student, a teacher or guru cannot lead the path to help the disciple/student achieve his/her goal.
