Rakesh Gandotra is a India native, who found deep connection with Indian ancient Yogic life style at very early age of his life and started practicing various forms of Yoga and meditation and witnessed revolutionary transformation in various aspect of human life i.e. Physical, Mental and Spiritual, inspired with the immense benefits of practicing yoga he became an ardent disciple of Yoga and decided to pursue further as a professional learning and soon attained advanced professional and academic knowledge of Yoga from various renowned institutions - A certified Yoga Teacher - 200 hours from Yoga Alliance.
He continues to associate with leading International & National Yoga Institutes like Yoga Alliance, AOL and BYS to promote the holistic lifestyle and its benefits...
Having a diverse background in sports, coaching, holistic health, and academia, I blend the lessons I have learned in my life with my professional trainings in corporate sector being corporate proficient with dual profile as corporate entity and a yogic professional in yoga, pranayama & mediation as a yogic creature.
A Certified Yoga Instructor through Yoga Alliance, one of the renowned names globally in yoga endorsement also "Level 2 Healer" and Sri SriSanskar Kendra Teacher for AOL - Art of Living which is an International transcendent trust in the path of spirituality and wisdom with holistic approach in physical & mental health.
Also functioned as Zonal cranium in leading non profitable yoga institute BYS who has around 3800 centers across India and all transversely the globe. I accomplished an immersion of the Healing Initiatory Process from BYS Association and from yoga Alliance.
A well-qualified professional attaining Master's in Business Administration with specializations in Sales & Marketing from New Delhi India, along with Certification in Management Development Program on "Leadership and Team Management Building" - IIM Calcutta, India.
Through professional corporate exposure of 21+ years of Experience in Sales & Marketing, I worked with Worckhardt, Alpine Electronics Inc. Minda Value, Solara International Ltd, and Tata Teleservices Ltd, on middle management profile with core area of expertise as in Sales & Marketing.
With a sociological framework of human interaction, behavior and social construction of meaning and symbols, my work integrates principles with Yogic philosophy as wells. The undue stress from the pressures of climbing the corporate ladder has caused me to lose myself little by little to my external environment, and the things that made me happy slowly dissipated out of my life. Neglecting myself and caring so much about work and someone else and their happiness, I became overwhelmed and this took away from my relationship to myself. Subsequently, I continued making excuses as to why I didn't need to focus on myself, neglecting my self-worth. As the years went by, I put myself and my happiness lower and lower on my priority list and my life hit rock bottom. I had two choices: stay attached to the negativity and be miserable my whole life or transform my life to live in joy and serenity. I went to a yogic circle that held the space for me to journey deep within myself and begin the healing process of the parts of me that were fragmented. As I continued to really work on myself through breath work and sacred plant medicine, I was able to make the decision to change my life and follow what makes my heart sing: Yoga and Pranayam.
I started figure skating at very young age and was a competitive figure skater throughout my youth.
I competed in many high level events and received many rewards and appreciation from the early start of my yoga practices.
Having an intense work ethic and commitment at a young age, the transformation of my life interweaves my professional trainings with my life challenges that were the gifts that awakened my soul to remember who I am and what my life purpose is.
While serving in corporate sector, I gradually discerned the kind of stress and anxiety the employees route throughout due to tremendous work pressure meeting their KRA's and organizational goals.
By myself I realized the feel of the stress and strain of handling the professional work pressure to be preffect and personal life which is much challenging in today's stressful competitive living environment in benevolence's life cycle.
I was so eager to strive for perfection that I would never listen to myself to break at any point of time and rejuvenate through yoga and meditation for happiest life for myself and for the corporate world I live in.
I gave professional approach to my yogic inbuilt nature which was incorporated in me from last two decades, Included with this need to always be successful and perfect were in all my accomplishments.
I became an instructor in all three of these areas yoga, pranayama, and mediation and had the privilege of taking my apprentices too many competitive events.
While talking to myself all alone in through long days & nights, thinking deeply, how can I serve the society and the corporate people in better ways, I started taking professional corporate sessions in the company where I was working with, along with few other big corporate Houses, Govt. Sector and in semi Govt. Institution's, after serving the society for around one decade while practicing and teaching yoga and pranayama's to masses while taking special yoga sessions on different diseases and their cure through yogic Kriya's and pranayama's only.
With the intensity of training in high impact competitive environment, I had no idea what it was or what to expect. I proximately felt the results in my body, mind and especially my heart and spirit. I felt a deep sense of relaxation, love, serenity and my mind had a chance to rest. Slowly, the connection that I started gaining through practicing yoga helped me develop an awareness of my actions, thoughts, and beliefs.
By creating the life I was destined to live, I blend yogic Journey Work with the art of Yoga. The path of yoga manifests through our direct life experiences and evolves through ceremony, ritual and communion with nature and the universe. As we grow and ascend on the spiral path, we move through a metamorphosis of self and transcend old habits, patterns and limiting ways of existing on this planet. Our breath is the most significant medicine in both Shamanism and Yoga. Through the magic of breathing techniques, yoga, pranayama and spiritual practices by meditating deepen our relationship with our Self. We can be in full alignment with the universe to manifest and create our lives to live fully in harmony with all beings, plants, elements, Mother Earth and Father Sky. Combining the structure of Yogic principles and theories with experience at Yog Sharnam ritual and ceremony.
Yog Sharnam not only engages us to remember who we really are but also allows us to truly live a life happy, joyous and free.
We all have innate gifts that are our right to fully express in this world. Not only do I advocate this work because it has helped me in profound ways, I have also witnessed how it has helped people from all different backgrounds. Living daily through my Yoga practice and connection to this beautiful planet, Yog Sharnam alleyway is one of gifts and wonders. Having the willingness to experience life on a different scale, we are able to transcend our challenges with the small changes that we make in our daily lives.
