Summary Snippets
Susan
A lot of mature trees surround the buildings in Harrogate, all adding to the feeling of wellbeing, as being close to nature does.
The teaching of Jawahar Bangera brought us close to our yoga roots, like the roots of these mature trees going down into the earth.
Lorraine
He carefully and meticulously used various asanas to highlight what to avoid and what to bring about over the next few years of our practice, in order to avoid joining an NHS waiting list!
Jane
Jawahar's approach was gentle, accessible, and delivered with chuckles of humour.
Lesley
Being immersed amongst long standing and new yogi friends is one of the biggest pleasures, and having Jawahar as our Teacher brought a unique experience of Indian teaching to the 300 delegates.
Annie
Jawahar has an amazing ability to leave a lasting imprint of yoga within the body and showed us a tiny aspect of the vast beauty of the subject of Yoga.
Kyoko
It started with AUM and the invocation. Jawahar ’s AUM resonated deep into every corner of the hall as if to reach everyone’s soul. That’s what it sounded like.
