I am an Iyengar Yoga teacher by profession having a degree in B.H.M.S. (BACHELOR OF HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE AND SURGERY). After completing this degree in 1994, I took up the yoga training at RAMAMANI IYENGAR MEMORIAL YOGA INSTITUTE (RIMYI) PUNE -INDIA for two years. I often visit RIMYI to refresh my knowledge. I am practicing Iyengar yoga from my childhood under my father’s guidance who has been practicing Iyengar yoga from last 25 years.
I have two yoga centers both named “SHRIKANT YOGA CENTRE” at two different locations in Belagaum City. Both centers are equipped with all those props that are used in Iyengar’s method. My second yoga center was inaugurated by GURUJI (Shri B.K.S. Iyengar) on Oct 31, 1999.
Every day I take five classes. The class durations are from 90min to 120 mins. I am conducting general classes as well as medical classes for those who are suffering from various diseases, disabled and for old people. I have a separate ladies class and I do conduct classes for children. In the monthly meeting at our yoga centre, I give lectures on THEORY PART of YOGA and show videocassettes of GURUJI’s practice and teaching. This has helped to build a good interaction between teacher and students.
My other accomplishments:
* I had been to medical & other institutions to demonstrate and teach YOGA on certain occasions like WORLD DIABETES DAY and CENTRAL EXCISE DAY.
* I had been to many schools to teach children on the occasions such as annual sports and summer vacation classes
* I had been to various engineering factories to demonstrate and teach the importance of yoga.

Myself being a homeopathic doctor I have in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology. My medical background along with BKS Iyenger-way yoga helps me to treat people suffering from diseases like Blood pressure, Diabetes, PID, Arthritis, Spondylitis, Migraine, Paralysis, IBS, Piles, and Constipation etc by the art of yoga only. My focus these days is mainly towards medical treatment using my own developed instrument.
