Parag Mody

I have been studying martial arts for over twenty years, and
yoga for fourteen years. To me, these art forms represent an
inner exploration, a journey towards inner awakening. My daily
practice is about resolution of conflict - both internal and
external, striving to develop an unshakable interior and a
yielding, yet firm, exterior to help face life's daily challenges
without fear or doubt.

Neither medium of expression, yoga or kalarippayattu, has
been easy for me to grasp - both physically and psychologically,
and perhaps that is one reason for my passionate pursuit of
these arts. One of the toughest challenges in practice lies in
bringing that inner transformation experienced on the mat
into daily life, and in relationship with others. In my teaching,
I attempt to create the opening for the inner awareness to
penetrate, and show how it can be used to actualize change in
one's life. Classes will be dynamic, with strong focus on
alignment and breath. For my own journey, I am eternally
grateful to my teachers Ramanand Patel, Geeta and Prashant
Iyengar, and C. Mohammed Sherif -  for showing the Way and
teaching me to stand tall.
