Jehangir Palkhivala \u2013 Iyengar Yoga & Naturopathy<\/h3>

Jehangir\u2019s passion for yoga started with Sunday morning classes with Guruji BKS Iyengar, when he was seven years old. His home atmosphere was suffused with a spiritual, as well as yogic base, as both his parents were inclined to the same. In India, where little children are placed on par with Krishna, the mischievous God, his relationship with his Guru was playful and full of fun, but grew intense and meaningful as he became older.
\n\nExposed to Guruji\u2019s dynamic and precise teaching, to his mother\u2019s spiritual and aspirational style of teaching asanas and pranayama, and his father\u2019s sense of perfection, Jehangir found all these diverse aspects expressing themselves in his own teaching. Driven by the urge to find the essential truth, and to experience it in the physical asanas, he has developed a series of sequences that thousands of people all over the world are practicing and benefiting from.
\n\nHis classes will help you to strengthen your connection with your higher self and to cultivate a profound joy and peace that permeates your asana practice and eventually spills over into your daily life.\n\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Prasheen Lodhia<\/h3>

Prasheen Lodhia studied the tabla since childhood, while growing up in Canada. In 2009 he set off to India to explore India. India started off as a short holiday and ended up becoming his home. Over the years, he travelled remote corners of the country in search of culture and relics of forgotten kingdoms. On his journey through south India, he encountered the PANArt Hang. This steel hand instrument, which resembles a flying saucer, was invented 15 years ago in Switzerland and are no longer produced.\nWithout an ancient culture behind the Hang, the sound is free for organic exploration. With its melodious sound sculpture, made up of 9 ascending notes, the Hang is the perfect tool for creating meditative compositions. Through a little manifestation, Prasheen acquired a Hang and has been unveiling its mystique ever since. Prasheen has been partnering with yoga teachers from around the world to offer a unique form of sound meditation he calls Hang Therapy. This form of meditation, involves focusing on the soundscape to induce healing and relaxation.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
