Bio
My first contact with Yoga was at the age of 16. When I was 18, I bought my first Hatha Yoga practice book with pictured series of Asanas. At the age of 35, I was finally ready to welcome Yoga into my life on a daily basis. Three years later, I decided to become a Bikram Yoga teacher and participated in the teacher training in Los Angeles Spring 2013.
In 2020, I was looking for a way to personally grow and develop my Yoga skills further, so I decided for a course on using Yoga and exercises in a therapeutic way. To learn this, I travelled to Kolkata (India) and participated in a course at the very same school founded by Charan Bishnu Ghosh in 1923.
History
“4/2, Ram Mohon Roy Road, Kolkata – 700 009, West Bengal, India”
is the address where, since 1923 bodybuilding, muscle control and Yoga-Asana is practiced and taught. Founded by Charan Bishnu Ghosh, the little brother of Paramhansa Yogananda (founder of the self-realization fellowship and one of the most prominent figures in making Kriya-Yoga famous and accessible worldwide). Founded as Ghosh School for physical education, the focus in the beginning was more on bodybuilding and muscle control, also incorporating breathing exercises like Nauli. From the 1930’s onwards, and with the influence of Buddha Bose, Yoga became more and more the main focus. From this, the Ghosh series of 84 Asanas developed (later the 26+2 Bikram series would mainly come from this culture too).
Out of this body culture, a therapeutic use of Asanas, breathing exercise and body exercises developed which is in use to this day. In 1970, Dr. Prem Sundar Das took over as head principal and he sees patients and gives prescriptions on a daily basis to this day. Since the 1980’s, the daughter of Bishwanath Ghosh, Muktamala Mitra also gives prescriptions and currently heads the teacher training department for therapeutic use of yoga.

Application
In an initial Meeting / Anamnesis, we discuss which symptoms / problems need to be addressed. To speed up this process, it is important that this PDF is filled in as accurately as possible.
The Anamnesis also helps to assess what the level of fitness is and what exercises are appropriate to each individual. Based on this foundation, I write a personalized prescription of clearly structured exercises, Asanas and breathing exercises. To ensure the correct understanding and practice of the given prescription, it is necessary to have one practice session together where you will have time to take notes. It is of course possible to have more than one practice session together if needed. In the course of the treatment, the prescription can be altered or completely rewritten too if required.
