A total of 15 participants signed up for the program. Since then one person has opted to discontinue. She has a two-month old baby.

In addition to being the dissolver of the universe, Shiva was also the Lord of dance and […] On one of the yoga groups on LinkedIn (Yoga Instructors and Practitioners), one question that is being discussed currently is, “If yoga is a spiritual science, what happens when you take the spiritual out of it?”. Lots of different views have been expressed. I have also been contributing to the discussion by presenting my best […] As many of you are aware, one of my favorite questions to the students in my class is, “have you been practicing yoga at home?”.
