Yoga and Wellness

I have been practicing Pranayama with my teacher Ranu Mishra for the last 5 years. Its been a progressive journey for me in terms of my body , breath and the mind. Staying calm in most of the situations, not to enter panic mode, increase in the lung capacity, keeping my BP in control, setting aside time for myself to breath during the practice and improving my awareness inside and in outside situations have really played a role in improving my health. Pranayama has become a part of my lifestyle and a disciplinary practice without which I feel incomplete. Thank you, Ranu for helping me to progress in my journey towards good health

I've been consistent in the Pranayam class for five years plus now and definitely look forward to Mondays and Thursdays which is when we have our bi-weekly online classes. The older one gets, the more one seeks a few minutes of calm, which Pranayam offers, in an increasingly turbulent world. The sessions are crammed between my own classes online, where I teach 200 + students on a weekly basis. So it is relaxing for me to be instructed instead of instructing. I often feel so relaxed that I have to stop myself from dozing off... sometimes, I can also feel my lungs getting cleansed and I feel lighter after each session.

Ranu has been a wonderful guide in my pranayama journey. I knew I was a shallow breather and wanted to deepen it, so when I found out she was conducting classes, I joined right away. What I love most is her no-frill approach - straight into the guided session, ending beautifully every time. In just two months, I already feel my lung capacity improving. I wholeheartedly recommend her sessions!

Amidst the information influx from innumerable sources, slowing down oneself feels challenging. Flickering attention and anxiety followed me because of it. I have been practising Pranayam for almost a year now. It helps render a state of clarity and calm. To be able to remember to breathe right in difficult moments, feels like a battle won. My personal favourite is Brahmari which makes me feel like there is an ethereal halo around me that has the power to fort myself from negative energy.

Thank you Ranu for brining Yoga into my life, as I now understand the true meaning of strength. I am not an early riser and Yoga is the only the second thing which can wake me up early morning, first being cricket. Ranu, to me is a perfect Guru because she practices what she preaches and inspires you to do better every day. My only wish is, someday I can do Yoga even half as good as her !
