All the teachers here are highly knowledgeable. We do miss the morning session with Ankit Sir, he teaches asanas perfectly with the proper amalgamation of anatomical knowledge. Vimlesh Sir has taught Astanga and Aerial yoga, and he pushes you out of your comfort zone to achieve wholesome growth. I am grateful to Swami Ji, yogi Ji for the meditation and philosophy classes. We also enjoyed the theory and therapy classes with Neha. The last few classes with Sunil sir were awesome, the small but important techniques told by him to perform asanas made a huge difference.
