REGULAR GROUP CLASSES

Group Classes are conducted, thrice a week, atmy centre, at Parsi Colony, near Five Gardens, atDadar East, Mumbai. Each class is for one hour. There are morning, afternoon and evening batches (for details click“CLASS SCHEDULE” in Menu). A maximum of 10 to 12students are accommodated in each batch, so that personalattention can be given to each and every student. A completemedical history of all the students is taken, prior to them joiningthe class. Each student’s schedule is designed afterconsidering their requirements, capacity, fitness and health.Other Group Classes can be arranged, on request, providedthere are sufficient numbers.

THERAPEUTIC YOGA

My Diploma In Yogic Therapy, Naturopathy &Natural Living focused on how Yoga can take Services care of various ailments like, Diabetes, Asthma, Obesity,Muscular Pain, Headaches, Acidity, etc. It also focused ontackling mental, emotional and psychosomatic issues likedepression, lack of confidence, low self esteem, nervousness,anxiety, tension, etc. We were also trained in counselingpatients with physical problems and mental, emotional andpsychosomatic issues. I have very successfully treatedpatients having all the above issues.

PRANAYAM & MEDITATION SESSIONS FORMENTAL HEALTH

Today with increasing stress levels, even youngsters are facingseveral Mental Health issues Anxiety, Depression, Stress,Insomnia, Anger, Impatience, Low Self Esteem, Lack ofConfidence, to name a few. These then lead to other ailmentslike Acidity, Hypertension, High BP, Cardiac problems, etc.

It has been medically and scientifically proved that Yoga,especially Pranayam and Meditation helps tremendously inaddressing these issues. My forte is Pranayam and Meditation.The different Meditation sessions that I conduct, like SoundMeditation, Fragrance Meditation, “Pratyahar” (Withdrawal ofSenses), “Tratak” (Candlelight Meditation) VisualizationMeditation, etc and the various types of “Yoga Nidra” that Iconduct at the end of all my sessions, be it Group Classes, orIndividual, are the most eagerly looked forward to by all thestudents. Each of them has benefited tremendously from themand vouches for its effectiveness.

REHABILITATION, POST INJURY / SURGERY

I have devised several programmes for patientsrecovering from any kind of injury and surgery. Here tootraditional Yogic practices are slightly tweaked, – but again,without comprising whatsoever on the fundamental principlesof Yoga – to get the patients back on their feet and increasetheir confidence level. Patients recovering from Injury / Surgerycomprise a lot of my Personal Training Students.

YOGA FOR SPORTS

I have devised programmes for sportspersons, totake care of their physical fitness – strength andstamina – and also for injury prevention. RehabilitativeProgrammes are developed for sportspersons recovering frominjury. Tremendous importance is given to Sports Psychologyand Mind Training to improve focus and attention, increasedetermination, remove nervousness, develop confidence and akiller instinct and remain calm during tense matches. Throughvisualization techniques, technical aspects of thesportspersons game are improved and adopting the correcttechnique gets engrained into the sportspersons subconsciousness and he / she get habituated into using thecorrect technique

YOGA FOR PERSONS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

Since I have also been trained in teaching Yogato Children and Youth with Special Needs, like Autism, CerebralPalsy, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, etc and am also a CertifiedCounselor, I specialise in teaching Yoga to Children withSpecial needs and Counseling them. My Counseling alsoextends to my students, having different issues and I keepdevising new Yoga Schedules and Programmes for them, aftertaking into account their problems. Several children havebenefited after training under me.

CHILDREN’S YOGA

Due to the extensive research that I did for myProject on “Yoga for Hyperactive Children” andthe Course that I did on Yoga for “Children with Special Needs”,I have devised a comprehensive programme for normalchildren, where traditional Yogic practices are taught tochildren, in a unique “Fun & Play” Method”. This helps thechildren improve their health and well being, develop theirphysical fitness and mental alertness, improve their emotionalstability and become more social. It also inculcates a sense of discipline and responsibility amongst the kids. I give training tosmall groups of children at their residence and sometimes atdifferent venues like parks, beaches, etc. It is an absolute treatto teach them Yoga and address all their innocent queries.

SENIOR CITIZENS YOGA

A key area of the training in our “Yogic Therapy”course was “Geriatric Care” – Special HealthCare of Elderly People. As they grow older, the Senior Citizensneed to be kept not just physically active, but mentally alert andhealthy as well. Due to their restricted movement, the SeniorCitizens may not be able to perform all the Yogic movements. Ihave hence tweaked various traditional Yogic Asanas anddevised special programmes for them, whereby even by justsitting on a chair or couch, they can comfortably do Yoga andget its benefits. In all the Yogic Asanas that I have tweaked,none of the core principles of Yoga have been compromisedupon. Pranayam and Meditation is a very important part of theSenior Citizens Classes. I not only very successfully run aSenior Citizens Yoga Batch, but also give Personal Training tovarious Senior Citizens at their house. I have Senior Citizenseven in their 70’s and 80’s as my students. It is sheer joy and ablessing to teach Yoga to them.

WORKSHOPS AND SHORT TERM COURSES

One or Two Days Workshops can be conducted on several therapeutic measures, to tackle ailments likeAsthma, Diabetes, Obesity, Anxiety, Depression, Anger Control,Stress Management, Acidity, Backache and Neck ache, etc. Acomprehensive Short Term Yoga Course of anywhere betweenfive days to fifteen days, covering most of the basic aspects ofYoga, like Asanas, Pranayams, Bandhas, Mudras, Kriyas andMeditation, can be arranged.

YOGA, MEDITATION AND NATUROPATHYRETREATS

Short, Two or Three Days Yoga, Meditation and NaturopathyRetreats can be arranged for select groups. This would includesessions on Asanas and Pranayams, different types ofMeditation, including unique ones like Moonlight Meditation,Yog Nidra in the woods, etc and various naturopathytreatments like Chlorophyll Bath, Mud Bath, Sun Bath and HotFoot Bath.

CUSTOMIZED APPROACH

Be it, Group Classes, Personal Training, Short Term Courses, orWorkshops, I customize and tailor make the teaching scheduleas per each individual student’s requirements, taking their age,health, fitness and other factors into consideration . Specialattention is given to Senior Citizens and Children. The completehistory of all students is taken prior to their starting the class.Health issues and any other concerns are noted and recordedand the teaching schedule is made accordingly. Not only arethose practices included that will aid the recovery process, butpractices that could aggravate an injury or health issue are notincluded.

All students are given a comprehensive illustrated manualexplaining all the principles in detail. The teaching isprogressive and gradually moves on from a basic level to moreadvance levels. Each practice too can be done at various levelsand so in one class, different students with different capacitiescan do the same practice at different intensities and atdifferent levels.
