Sudeepta Shanbhag

The “body and energy systems'' part of this course will be taught by Sudeepta Shanbhag. This will include the western and eastern understanding of the body and its organ systems and their functioning. Sudeepta studied movement in different forms from dance to aerobics and over the years she began to piece together the different parts of the puzzle making the connections between body movement and mental and emotional wellbeing. Yoga in all its forms has supported her through her own life's journey and a major health crisis. Sudeepta has been working with children with special needs for several years through Prafull Oorja Charitable trust and with kids with cancer at Kidwai hospital - a program designed by Swami Yogaratna. She has also worked with adults with ailments and injuries to improve mobility and emotional resilience. She believes that movement and breathwork are the first steps to developing self-awareness and that yoganidra can open the doorway to getting in touch with the inner self, recognising our mental patterns and helping us heal at a deep level.
