Meet Your Teachers
Yogacharya Ankur Kanwar holds a Master’s degree in Yoga and certifications in Yoga Teaching & Holistic healing. He has been teaching Yoga for 8 years and He has authored two books on Yoga, Aabhar Yoga and The Yoga Career, to make his knowledge available to all those who want to learn Yoga. He currently lives in Dehradun (The capital of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand), where he does Yoga Therapy and teaches Yoga offline to those who can visit him, and teaches online to those who cannot physically be there with him. Apart from being a passionate Yoga practitioner & Teacher, he loves spending time with his family, Riding bikes on less-traveled roads, Hiking on hills, and being with animals.
HIS APPROACH TO TEACHING
For him, Yoga Teaching is not merely a profession, but it’s his way to perform his Universal duty. That’s why he believes in teaching his students instead of being just an instructor to them. He makes sure that his students not only reach their desired goals but while doing so, actually understand the principles and learn the concepts. So, whenever they feel confident that they can continue their Yoga practice and journey on their own, then they should do so independently of him or any other Teacher.
That is true freedom, being free from even the Teacher, and exploring & expressing yourself completely in your Yoga practice. Then, there remains no difference between us and our practice, and you will grow without any barrier of pre-determined limitations. Being free from even the limitedness of the goal, you will be able to dive deep within your being and can reach & experience your core, and there, the healing takes place up to the deepest sphere of Oneself.
His classes are a fun-filled experience for the students because he keeps his classes interesting by introducing different practices and variations, to make difficult-to-difficult practices easy and accessible to everyone. He also shares his knowledge in a very simple and practical manner connecting to your day-to-day life and its challenges, with keeping the real essence of Yoga intact.
Yogacharya Shobhangi hails from the North Eastern part of India. She holds a master’s degree in Yoga. She also is an MBA in HR and a graduate in Tourism. After serving 10 long years in the Corporate Sector, she decided to quit her corporate career, as it was an intense calling from the inner core of her being to serve the Universe through teaching Yoga. So, accepting this message from the Cosmos and wanting to live a purposeful life, today she shares her experience and knowledge of Yoga both offline and online. Apart from being a Yoga Teacher, she has an interest in Indian Classical Dance, Travel, the Ancient science of Ayurveda, and Reading spiritual texts.
HER APPROACH TO TEACHING
Her Approach to teaching Yoga is purely experiential and this comes from her own life which has never been so simple. As a child, she faced a lot of prejudice and discrimination. When she grew up, all the emotional turmoil and turbulences of life turned up into an extremely difficult health condition, a woman can go through called PCOD. Completely unaware of the hidden reasons for this then-rare disease, she tried everything right from showing up to a physician, a Gynae, Endocrinologist, Dermatologist, Homeopathy, Reiki, Gym, and whatnot. But when Life throws things on us which seem to be insolvable, we need to understand that there is a greater reason behind this which we are then not aware of at the surface level, but when it will be revealed, we shall be thankful for it and that is what exactly happened.
After 12 Long years of this painful situation which has taken a toll on her physical and psychological health and seeing herself completely dependent on medicines, she knew she needed something else, perhaps a miracle that can make her free, self-dependent, and feel great about herself.
Yoga, then entered her life as a Blessing in Disguise. Just after 2 months of practicing diligently and consistently, she not only became free of her disease but she became free of all the negativities of the World. She knew she was no longer the same person but rather, a completely transformed human being- inside out. She realized that this healing did not come from outside but from the guidance of her Yoga Teacher who helped her break the physical and mental blockages within and come out of the Limited boundaries of her body and mind. So she is following her Teacher’s footsteps and now living with this sole purpose, to heal the whole world, just like she got healed.
Every being in this Universe is a reservoir of a Limitless source of Energy called Love. This is the secret of her practice, which she intends to share with everyone who is willing to go beyond to explore life and this comes from her own journey of Yoga. She creates that extra space; prepares that ground and extracts that Love within oneself through her teaching.
