Mohammed Sabir Shaikh
Founder
It was destined for him to walk on this path. Mohammed Sabir had no option but to take refuge in the Spiritual Science of Yoga. He suffered from severe backache in the year 2002. To him, the ultimatum was such, as given by his doctors, that he had to take the deep lunge of faith in Yoga Practice.
Well, after he recovered, it was very far that he had come in his journey as a Yoga Practitioner. Simply after doing 3 months of regular practice he was roped in by his teacher for Yoga Teachers Training Course where he found his liking, his deep passion for the subject.

I can, however, proudly accept and very generously hope that I remain a student, a simple disciple of The Art of Yoga.”
