Podcast. Introducing Rajashree Bikram. Filmed in Phuket, Thailand, at the Bikram Yoga TT 2023.

Описание: Introducing Rajashree Bikram: Rajashree is a renowned Yoga practitioner who co-founded the Bikram Yoga's Teacher Training program. She founded the United States Yoga Federation and the International Yoga Sports Federation (IYSF) to promote Yoga asana as a sport worldwide. Rajashree's book, Pregnancy Yoga, has gained international recognition. She stresses the importance of Yoga's emotional benefits and impact on the mind, body, and soul.


Rajashree started practising Yoga at the age of four and has since dedicated herself to its practice and propagation. Her career as a Yoga instructor and therapist, writer, motivational speaker, philanthropist, and advocate for children and women reflects her multifaceted personality. She was born and brought up in Kolkata and later moved to Los Angeles at the age of nineteen, which gave her a unique blend of Eastern and Western influences.

During her youth, Rajashree won several titles and was a five-time winner of the National Indian Yoga Championship from 1979 to 1983. This experience inspired her to encourage youth to practice Yoga. She remains heavily involved in Yoga asana and has expanded her offerings through the birth of Lavanya Wellness, which translates to "poise" and "grace" in Sanskrit. Rajashree empowers people to adopt a lifestyle that involves renewing the mind, body, and spirit through different activities such as asana, meditation, journaling, and yoga therapy. She uses her years of experience to provide the tools necessary to reconnect with the soul and support spiritual growth and renewal in special communities dealing with loss, PTSD, IBS, and back pain.
