Founder’s Say
“I have pursued the practice of Indian classical dance since my childhood and also had a deep interest in yoga.
So I observed and practiced both the sciences together.
This confluence of interests in Indian classical dance and the science of Yoga helped me to figure out many similarities between the two entities.
Moreover, I realized that these two forms shared a metaphysical and philosophical bond.
An accumulation and regular honing of this knowledge and insight over the years enabled me to design and create 78 completely new body movements.
These 78 body movements can carry immense therapeutic value, ultimately leading to a fitter body and mind when combined with controlled breathing, relaxing background music, and a serene environment.
I have been sharing my experience and lessons to transform the lives of individuals ever since through NYS courses to create a loving, peaceful living environment.”
