From Assam, India, Bhaskar Goswami [M.Eng. (Hons.)] has been deeply involved with the practice of yoga since the early 90’s. He is a certified teacher of traditional hatha yoga and a specialist in employing the principles of yoga for the modern lifestyle.
Born into the yogic tradition, he comes from the lineage of Vasishtha, who is considered to be one of the founding fathers of this ancient practice. Bhaskar has been trained at the Transcendental Meditation school of Assam in India, on Vipassana Meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka, on traditional yoga by Yogacharya Nandakumar in Kuwait and by Siromani Sriram and the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta in Canada. He has a Masters degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Nottingham in England and a 10 year international engineering career in petroleum, telecom, audio, acoustic and microelectronics industries. This has allowed for a strong understanding of the methods and benefits of mindful living in an urban environment. |

IF YOU ARE READY TO TRANSFORM YOUR PRESENCE
“A few years ago, I was a broken man. I was disengaged and over stressed. Meeting Bhaskar was such a blessing as he helped me transform my state of being. I still remember fondly these private sessions we had, and I was captivated by his stories. If you are ready to transform your presence and your state of being as a leader and if you want to help your team rise to a whole new level of performance, I strongly recommend Bhaskar.”
