Yogacharya Umesh
Yogi Umesh Parmar learned yoga in a boarding school at the traditional Gurukul of India. He studied the true meaning of yoga after studying Sanskrit and integrating yogic principles into his life. He moved to the UK at fourteen and developed a successful career in his family business.
His search for the deep meaning of life through spirituality has guided him to study the eight limbs of Patanjali Yoga with the guidance of Swami Manoharnandaji in India and the four yoga paths at the Sivananda Centre in Putney, London. He is also a certified Yoga Shiromani at Swami Sivananda Ashram, Kerala, India.
As a businessman, he experienced several challenges, but with the help of yoga and meditation, he sailed through them and is committed to sharing knowledge and wisdom to serve humanity. His approach to teaching yoga and meditation is about creating harmony between mind, body, and soul for a fulfilling life.
His teachings include the traditional style of Hatha yoga, integrating yoga into daily life, off-the-mat yoga, breathing correctly, and various breathing techniques to overcome stress and anxiety. He also discusses different tools to start or go deeper into meditation, yoga philosophy, and the true essence of yoga.
There is a tangled link between the body, mind, breath, and spirit. Therefore, it is very important to not only investigate symptoms but also consider root causes. This can be achieved by engaging in a multidimensional assessment using the 5 Koshas. Yoga is a physical exercise and a union of mind, body, and soul. He integrates many combinations of mindfulness, breathing, and bodily postures in his treatments. His sessions are focused on aligning the postures and balancing the body between heaven and earth. His sessions include managing breathing towards pain and localising and releasing pain through yogic practices. He works with Dr Diwakar Sukul, creator of Multi-dimensional healthcare at Kamkus Clinic, London, as a Yoga Therapist. He has also taught an authentic style of yoga, meditation, and breathing techniques to various major institutions, corporations, individuals, and group classes, and he has held seminars and talks in the U.K., India, and Africa.
