Breathe deeper, hold, stretch and learn the wisdom of the ancient Hindu sages. Namaste.

My name is Paras, and for the past two years I've had the privilege of guiding people through the world of Yoga as an instructor at a wellness hotel in the sacred city of Rishikesh, where the Himalayas meet the Ganges. The Yoga most of us are often familiar with is stretching, movement, breathwork in a studio. It is real and valuable. What I offer in this aspect - Sukshm vyama for warm up - Suryanamskar and other asanas - Right sequence of asanas and importance of relaxing asanas - Asanas for flexibility and strength. But only being limited to above is like standing at the shore and believing you've seen the sea. Yoga is one of the six classical Darshanas or schools of thought of Hindu philosophy. The word itself means union of body, breath and mind or of the individual self with universal consciousness. My practice is rooted in Pranayama and meditation the deeper quieter arts of working with the breath and learning to observe the mind. Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras, defined Yoga simply as the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind. Not the perfecting of a posture the stilling of the mind. My aim is to offer you Yoga as a complete system: physical, philosophical, and deeply human. I cannot wait to explore this vast ocean with you.
