Yogesh Saini

I discovered yoga at the age of 11… …when my parents sent me to a yoga camp. It was there that I realized how beneficial yoga could be, especially for my body. Since one of my legs is 2.5 cm shorter than the other, I struggled with various physical issues. After many unsuccessful doctor visits and treatments, yoga became like medicine for me. At that time, I practiced yoga as a school subject with a very strict teacher. As a hyperactive child, I didn’t enjoy the slow exercises very much and saw them more as a form of therapy. Later, after finishing school and experiencing increasing work-related stress, I rediscovered yoga in a new way. This time, yoga strengthened me not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally. I reconnected with myself, felt more content and balanced, and it gave me a deeper sense of stability in life. KPJAYI Authorization Level 2 I have practiced Hatha Yoga throughout my life. From the summer of 2009 until 2011, I practiced Ashtanga Yoga exclusively. Since 2011, I have been practicing at the K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute (KPJAYI) in Mysore, India, under the guidance of my teacher (Guru) R. Sharath Jois. In January 2017, I received my Level 2 Authorization. My knowledge of yoga is not based solely on personal practice and experience. In 2008, I completed my yoga teacher training at the Sivananda Vedanta Ashram in Kerala, earning the titles “Yoga Acharya” and “Yoga Shiromani.” Afterwards, I worked for more than a year as an assistant yoga teacher at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre in New Delhi. Traditional Ashtanga Teaching in Aschaffenburg Through the practice of yoga, I wish to see a peaceful and healthy world. Today’s world has become fast-paced, hectic, and stressful, and people rarely take the time to focus on the positive and meaningful aspects of life that are right in front of them. Through traditional and authentic teaching, I aim to bring more light and understanding back into people’s lives.
