About My Guru

Mrs. Shashi Khosla or ‘Shashiji’, as she is fondly known by everyone…..

About Her:

Mrs. Shashi Khosla is a living maestro of Yoga, a true teacher and healer. She started her journey of Yoga after her guru marriage to an ace photographer and writer Mr. Ramesh Khosla. She says that it was her father- in- law who gave her the motivation and guidance to opt for a course in Yoga. Though she was not very keen on it, she agreed to try it with due respect to her father-in-law’s words.

Education:

Her degree from YMCA college of Physical Education, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, helped her with the basics of anatomy and physiology of human body. She registered herself in a 6 months course of Yoga from Kaivalyadham, Mumbai, India; which was a pioneer institute of yoga in those times. After the demise of her father-in-law, she opened up a small institute of Yoga as a tribute to him on his birthday (7th August 1985), and then there was no looking back. To excel further, she did another 6 months course in ‘Yoga as a Therapy’ from Kaivalyadham, Mumbai, India; which taught her about the role of Yogic knowledge in treating various ailments. She also attended various workshops as a speaker to World Congress of Alternative Medicine and was awarded “Gem of Alternative Medicine” in 1998 by International Bureau of Alternative Medicine, West Bengal and a Doctor’s certificate in Alternative Medicine from Open International University of Alternative Medicine. She turned down many invitations to be a professor of Alternate Medicine, though she continued to do her own research in the field. She has been a great asset to the Alternate Medicine & Holistic healing world.

Her Experiences:

In the journey of healing, she realized that it was very important to cater to each individual’s physical, mental and spiritual requirement. She found that the bottom line lays in dealing with the root cause and not the reactions. She gracefully took every case as a challenge and won it too.

Her motto is “We must make our body work for us”.

She helped people to find answers to their ailments in a easy way and believed that “If answers can be found from nature in a simple way then why torture the body? All we have to do is to maintain the natural curve of the spine and use Asanas only as a tool to heal and maintain health”.

Her driving force has always been the support and the encouragement she got from her family members.

Her Approach:

Simplicity has been the key to success in all her cases. She adopted an innovative approach everyday so that students/patients were aware of their own progress and had self- realization in whatever they did. She used Mantras (mystic seed syllables and sounds) and Mudras (hand gestures) as a complementary approach to heal people who had difficulty in performing the Asanas. She changed the program as per the progress and understanding of the patient/student to avoid monotony, and to help them develop insight and depth into the subject.

According to her:
"Understanding of the subject is more important then finding standard answers"

Message to Practitioners / Instructors:

Be open to learn and to live in the present.
Remember the blessing to forget: We as human beings forget the good and remember the bad although nature has given us the blessing to forget the bad and remember the good.
