Rajiv Chanchani teaching online Spring 2021
Join Rajiv Chanchani, long-time student of B.K.S. Iyengar, and founder (with his wife Swati) of the Yog-Ganga Centre in northern India, for weekly classes of asana, pranayama, and Yogic philosophy. Steeped in the rich culture that accompanies yoga techniques, Rajiv shares his deep understanding both of the physical postures and of the history and ethical implications of the practice of yoga.
Ongoing weekly classes - these are not drop in classes, but it is possible to join the Sunday morning class on a month by month basis.

Wednesdays: 8.00-9.30 am UK time: Asana & Pranayama followed by discussion / chanting / stories & illustrations

Eligibility is that participants should:

Payment is by donation - there are a range of options - please pay what you’re comfortable with. We are really grateful to those people able to pay full price - it allows the classes to keep running, but please feel under no obligation to pay more than you can afford. Full price for each class is £90 for the month.
Pay what you can rather than what you think you should.
