Sono sul taxi che mi porterà all aereoporto il mio viaggio in India sta per finire e non posso andarmene senza fare un ringraziamento speciale al dottor Prahlad. Una persona DI GRANDE ESPERIENZA E UMANITÀ un anima evoluta e consapevole. All inizio avevo molta resistenza perché il pensiero di impegnarmi 2 ore tutti i giorni a lezione mi preoccupava siamo sempre di corsa e volevo riposarmi .invece le classi erano un risveglio energetico meraviglioso e poi il rilassamento finale davvero unico. Finalmente ho trovato il mio Maestro di Pranayma e mi impegnerò molto a praticare a casa sia con gli esercizi sia con l alimentazione da lui suggerita. Prahlad è davvero interessato alla.crescita dello studente non fa pubblicità non è socialmente attivo. Le sue energie le investe diversamente. CONSIGLIATO

My husband and I spent 4 weeks learning Pranayama from this wonderful teacher. During this time, we got a deep dive and a true glimpse of the healing powers that Pranayama has to offer. Moreover, we were gifted with a set of practices that we can apply and will definitely enrich our lives. The focus is on praxis but, of course, one also gets all the necessary theory to understand what the praxis is all about. Dr Prahlad is happy to answer any questions that come up (we definitely had a lot). We recommend going to him you have any curiosity regarding Pranayama. It was a unique experience for us. Thanks 🙏

Our journey to explore the depths of Pranayama led us to Dr. Prahlad, and in retrospect, the timing of our connection couldn't have been more perfect. Some things are just meant to happen...✨ Right from our initial interaction, we sensed that we had encountered an extraordinary teacher who would play a pivotal role in our path. Dr. Prahlad's guidance was accompanied by his deep empathy, profound wisdom, and nurturing presence, making him the ideal mentor for us. His experience and extensive knowledge of Yoga/ Pranayama, coupled with his compassionate and warm-hearted nature, fostered an environment of growth and exploration. It is no wonder that we are absolutely determined to incorporate these practices into our daily lives. In addition to our journey through Pranayama, we also embarked on a two-week Asana course with him, providing additional knowledge and tremendous benefits to both our minds and bodies. Dr. Prahlad's intriguing persona, with his inspiring perspective and fascinating life story, adds an extra layer of depth to his teachings. We firmly believe that he is a perfect teacher, regardless of whether one is a beginner or an advanced practitioner, seeking to delve deeper into this field. The gift of Dr. Prahlad's teachings has bestowed upon us an invaluable toolbox that will forever accompany us on our journey. We are immensely grateful for the time we were able to spent with him, his personalized guidance, and unwavering care. Undoubtedly, those with a genuine interest in this field will find themselves in the most appropriate setting under the guidance of Dr. Prahlad. His exceptional ability to discern and address our individual needs, alongside his nurturing and attentive disposition, truly sets him apart as a remarkable teacher. See you and thank you so much!

I did a three week Pranayama course with Prahlad in Mysore and I am really greateful for this experience. It really changed something inside me. Prahlad is an amazing pranayama teacher. He accompanies you personally in your practice and evolution, giving you those techniques that are best for you each week of the course taking into account your progression. In addition, I consider him to be an amazing yoga teacher. It is hard to find teachers who are really connected with the real essence of yoga and I feel that Prahlad is one of them. With him, you will not only deepen your practice of pranayama (which I consider very necessary if you practice yoga) but you will deepen in all aspects of your life. Yoga is a 365 day, 24 hour practice, and Prahlad reminds you of this every day. If you are in Mysore and you are interested in pranayama, do not doubt a minute to start practicing with him. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for everything!

Pranayama is the ancient practice of controlling your breath. The goal of pranayama is to connect your body and mind. This is meant to provide healing physiological benefits. Though late in life...I wanted to learn the art under a right teacher...who can guide me not just the technical aspects...but to guide philosophically too...along with the methodology I learnt the art of adopting patanjali Sutra to life, philosophical aspects of simplicity... living ur life with high energy..to unveil the soul to travel the path of purity and to create the oneness with the master. Though my journey has just started in this path I am sure to reach my destiny... I am being guided by my teacher Dr prahlad yog ...who is spiritually inclined in life...great personality who has done so much sadhana in his life...where money and possession is a least priority...he directs his students to live a life of discipline, simplicity ...most importantly with peace...his teachings of patanjali Sutra,art of pranayama and meditation are to the next level...he doesn't teach people for the sake of finance..but prefer to choose them personally through a interview...his class strength is not more than four ..so that each student gets their share of attention.his hospitality is to be felt than expressed. I am sharing this in this platform not to promote...but as a gratitude for the change he has brought in my life. I feel people should be guided in a right path ...so that right people meet the right teacher...I am blessed to have one.🙏..I could feel the sown seed of spirituality bloom over time.

Practice with Prahlad strengthen my immunity system. So I sincerely recommend people to study with Dr.Prahlad. It will be a wonderful experience.I study with Prahlad for one month.I want to continue the class but because of the virus, all yoga class stop.Dr. Prahlad is very nice and kind ,taking care of everyone so well.He checked everyone’s breath and pulse before class and give the special suggestions for everyone, which is very considerate. He is a very special teacher that gives me a lot of encouragement which I am always grateful. His place is very clean,higenic,the class is small, 2-4 students at one time ,so everyone can be taken care of teacher. Every time is one and half hour ,on Saturday it is 2 and half hour. The most important is that after I practice pranayama with him, first, I have great progress in asanas.I can breathe well along with posture,and I can do some difficult ones. Second, I feel more energetic and confident. third, besides pranayama, he told us how to cook and eat healthily which is very helpful to me, and I am trying to follow his advice,hoping one day I can be a yogi like him. I am sure I will come back.

If you are serious about learning pranayama this teacher sits in the wisdom of this limb of yoga. He's very considerate, knowledgable and has decades of personal experience. I've never received such individualized instruction. HIs approach made me as a student, feel comfortable enough to ask any question. Highly recommended.
