Yoga Nidhi

Yoga Nidhi was started by Ravi Shankar and Sheela, who are students of T. K. V. Desikachar, one of the most important yoga teachers in the world today. Sri Desikachar’s father and teacher, Sri T. Krishnamacharya, was a yogi who possessed an astounding depth of knowledge on all aspects of yoga and related subjects. Ravi and Sheela have both undergone the two-year Diploma in Yoga conducted by the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram, Chennai and have taught at the same institute for a number of years. They continue to teach in keeping with this teaching heritage; notable aspects of which are: The attention to the breath at every point in the practice and in every movement of every asana The sequencing of the course such that there is an intelligent choice of asanas appropriate to the person A gradual progression within the individual yoga course as well as in the evolution of the yoga programme The gentle and non violent manner of the practice. Apart from teaching yoga to individuals, Yoga Nidhi also has provided corporate healthcare solutions to companies like Rane Institute of Employee Development, Cairn Energy, and Cognizant Technology Solutions. We also handle the yoga classes for the trainees of the MRF Pace Foundation, being trained by the Australian pace legend Dennis Lillee. Ravi is a member of the healthcare subcommittee of the CII.
