Yog Sadhna
6th May 1999
Was commanded by my Yoga Guru Shashi Khosla to open a Yoga School by the name "Yogsadhna" the very next day I complete the education from her. I opened my Yoga school named "Yogsadhna" and was teaching 8 Yoga classes every day (five days a week) until April 2005.
Mentors
1998 - 1999
- (Between Nov 1998- April 1999) Started learning Yoga from Yoga Guru Shashi Khosla in Pune, India. I was 19 years old at that time and the only Yoga I knew of at this time was by observing my father practicing Yoga and Ayurvedic Daily Routine (Ayurvedic Dinacharya) almost every morning. My father was my first and most profound influence in my life. He was my first introduction to Yoga but it was a passive initiation as I merely observed him practicing and did not participate in it. It is my Master/ Yoga Guru Shashi Khosla who formally initiated me into Yoga in the year 1999 by accepting me as her first disciple who could not only learn from her but stay with her. I got the opportunity to stay with her for 6 months time period in which I attended 6-8 Yoga classes every day for five days a week. We used to also have discussions on Yoga philosophy for hours every day after the Yoga classes
Mentors
1997 - 1998
Met my first Yoga Guru Shrimati Shashi Khosla. She is a living Yogini who chose to live among the masses as a very humble human being without any display of her Yogic accomplishments. My first meeting with her was very ordinary and was a merely an exchange of India greeting, "Namaste"
