Prasad Rangnekar is a Yoga educator based in Mumbai, India who’s been teaching Yoga over the last 26 years as a science of Mind, Body and Life transformation. A frail child, who was often in and out of hospitals, Prasad’s Yoga Asana journey started at the age of nine when his mother admitted him to a month long Yoga training to improve his health. He has had the blessing of studying under many accomplished Yogic masters but those who have left a deep impact on his life are Tatambari Avadhoot, Baba Bhola Nath, Nari Nath and his Satguru, Shri Swami Samartha Maharaj. He takes 4 months off every year for Mauna Sadhana (silent practice), to go deeper into silence, meditation and study. Prasad’s holistic approach to Yoga has helped thousands across the world in over 15 countries, and he has personally mentored over 200 Yoga teachers till date.
In this episode, Prasad narrates his own experience with yoga and silence. He talks about yoga as a way to free ourselves of the various identities that we attach to ourselves, and that he says is the root cause of our anxiety. He emphasises the importance of consistent practice and in believing and staying on one's chosen path. Prasad is the Founder-Director of Yogaprasad Institute and conducts Yoga Teacher Trainings and Retreats to spread the wisdom of Yoga in its traditional form.
