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.

After becoming a Yoga Instructor, he developed an inclination towards Yoga Philosophy. Diving deep in to it, he completed his masters in Yogashastra and was appointed as an Assistant Professor in K.J. Somaiya College, Vidyavihar.  Mohammed Sabir is specialised in Hatha Yoga texts and other texts of Yoga like Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra and Bhagavad Gita.
 
It is a beauty to acknowledge that Mohammed Sabir did not stop at that. He, along with the gracious help of his three friends, started his Organisation Yoga Sadhana Mandir- Institute of Yoga and Research Foundation.
 
Striving towards his devotion, he has been very regular into the practice and teaching of Yoga to different sections of the society at his centre. Being a visiting faculty in different colleges, Mr. Shaikh’s Contributions of Yogic knowledge continues to reach different streams like Medical, Engineering, Management and Physical Education Institutions.
 
To promote healthy lifestyle in Corporates, Mr. Shaikh is a known Yoga Consultant in various companies like ICICI Securities, Pfizer, Workday, Saint-Gobain, etc. 
 
Mohammed Sabir’s aim has and will always be to invite more and more people to the Spiritual Science of Yoga and help them to understand the true meaning of the same.
