Vashi2Panvel.com: Navi Mumbai: Aug 21: The Rotary Yogasana Sadhana Kendra is starting its one-month yoga classes from tomorrow, ie- 22nd August, 2005 at the Rotary Centre, Sector 6, Vashi. The classes will be conducted from 7.30 am to 8.30 am, Monday to Friday, under the guidance of Mr Shriram Atri. Contact 9820081661 for more details. This yoga training is a little different.

Says Mr Atri, "Along with yoga asanas, this class also imparts some spiritual, psychological and emotional training."

Mr Atri's approach to the learning is practical. "The postures that you do in Yoga is not comforting, though yoga is called sthirum sukham asanam or placid asanas that give you pleasure. What happens in reality is that through these discomforting asanas, you find serenity. So therefore the asanas teach you to reach a certain kind of equilibrium within. This is just the kind of situations you might face in life. When you are in a meeting with a client, a boss, your employees and there are issues to be resolved, we could easily classify this situation as an uncomfortable one. But before you sit for such a meeting, you hope to emerge out of it successful and happy with the results. Therefore your mental conditioning has to be such that you find serenity in a discomforting situation. This is what I will be teaching in my class."

Mr Atri has undergone yoga teacher's training course in Sadashiv Nimballkar's classes as well as Yoga Vidya Niketan. But it was only when he trained under Swami Sukhobodhana Nanda that he understood and completely identified with the enhanced usage of yoga.
