“Casa Mayor hosted a yoga group led by Prasad Rangnekar in May 2004. In all there were 7 participants, all completely new to yoga. During the course his undivided attention was given not only to the entire group but also to the needs of each individual.
By the end of the course all participants agreed that the week had been of tremendous therapeutic value, thanks to the effort put in by Prasad. It is hard to express the level of gratitude that was shown to Prasad.”

“Prasad is a living proof that wisdom does not necessarily have anything to do with biological ‘old age’. Wise, knowledge, with a surprising clarity of mind and common sense, and an ability, which can not always be taken for granted, to pass his experience onto others.
Prasad succeeded in less than three hours to sow and water the seed of meditation in a group of lively, talkative but also stressed Spanish-speaking ladies, who had hardly ever come close to even the concept of meditation. He returned to India leaving behind a group fully devoted to a conscious daily practice. We heartily thank him for this.”

“In my eight years of doing yoga with various teachers, I have to genuinely say that Prasad has been one of the best ones I’ve been honoured to learn from. His teachings, with his focus on the breath first and foremost, were quintessential yoga at its best and gladdened my heart that there are still teachers who realize that yoga is about prana before asana. His gentleness, his flow, and the beauty of his yoga nidra as well, made my retreat with him one which will indelibly be in my heart forever.”

“I had always thought ‘there must be more to life than this’ and during the yoga week with Prasad, he helped me recognize what it was. I thought yoga was a boring form of exercise. I now realize its a whole different way of life.
In one week we were shown the many different facets of yoga and taught how to apply them in your everyday life. Being able to practice breathing, exercise and meditation and connecting these practices all together, gave me a feeling of all over well being and peace of mind. The yoga retreat week gave me a long awaited opportunity to change my life.
Prasad is passionate about yoga and with his style of teaching he helps his students to bring out the best in themselves. The whole concept of yoga is that everyone can achieve it. Don’t think you can’t do it… YOGA IS FOR EVERYONE.”

“In a time busy with material success, unreal issues, a mind flooded with ceaseless thoughts my inner core is asking for inspiration and healing and my fortunate path leads me to meet Prasad Rangnekar.
Prasad’s pure energy, calm state of being, great sense of humor and charisma make his mere presence an experience of inspiration and motivation. Living very much in this world, embracing technologies and tools of modern society, Prasad shows us, how to integrate the teachings and practices nurturing the true self into our busy lives, so that there is no border, no cliff between practice and life.
Cleansed, weightless and purified I emerge from this practice and carry the experience and it’s teaching in me. Grateful to my teacher and the endless wisdom of the teachings I wish for all beings to share this practice.”

Love
As far as Love is concerned, I will be happy to present my own views. Though it is a difficult job. Remember, these views are the products of my experiments, contemplations and experiences. Similar case is with all other aspects of life and my interpretations on them. I do not force anyone to follow them as I believe that everyone has been blessed with an intellect good enough to analyze and reflect on the varied aspects of life.
No Pain – No Gain.
Dear Friends,
We are all well acquainted with pain. For those of us who practice physical asanas it’s more of a love-hate relationship with physical pain. Many times this physical pain helps in giving us a deeper lesson of life as was realized by my dear friend and a fellow Yogini Misa Derhy. Her struggle with one particular posture called the “cow-face” Gomukhasana made us contemplate a lot on the topic of pain and here’s what came up in my mind.
Spiritual Evolution
The other day I happened to browse through a book written by Richard Bach. One of the verses said,
“If the child we were asked us today for the best we’ve learned from living, what would we tell, and what would we discover in return?”
I was particularly touched by this verse as it sent me back into the past for a while when I used to wonder about this process of life, process of crawling from womb to the grave without even being aware of it. Marvel at our lonely world of confusion and chaos, with us snuggly inside the amber of menial existence just like an archaic fossil, rotating round and round with the wheel of time. When will the end begin? Or are we just chasing a distant dream and playing Dice with Destiny?
Do you have any questions for Prasad?
