Heena ThadaniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Perfection is difficult to find but some people are genuinely, just naturally perfect at what they do.... Dheeraj Sir is a perfect blend of expertise, humility and sensitivity... he teaches yoga with utmost sincerity while paying attention to each students' precise needs and behavior... many teachers "describe" yoga asnas instead of demonstrating them due to the sheer complexity... I have yet to find an asna that Dheeraj sir couldn't do... his grace and fluidity is inspirational and motivated me to try asanas that looked too difficult... he constantly encourages to go for it - while he carefully observes that nothing is overdone... thank you for bringing yoga into my life sirjee Sapna KasatTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dheeraj Sir is an exceptional teacher who understands yoga beyond just physical exercise and asanas. What sets him apart is his absolute dedication to the practice. He is a true yogi. He teaches how to balance yoga as a way of life, helping students understand that it goes far deeper than just practicing asanas. At the same time, he knows exactly when to push his students, helping them achieve mastery in some of the most challenging asanas. His teachings offer the perfect balance of mind and body. Anyone looking for authentic, deep, and transformative yoga guidance would highly benefit from his expertise. Suchi DedhiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It has been a great experience. I came in with a cervical issue that had been bothering me for a long time, and after training with my coach, it has improved alot. My stamina has improved a lot since I started. I can feel a clear difference in my yoga poses and my flexibility has gotten much better over time. My teacher is also helping me build strength, which I really needed. What I really like is that she has a proper flow for her classes and plans everything according to what each person needs. Highly recommend Nature Pace Yoga Anna JamesonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dheeraj is an extraordinary teacher and such a kind soul; within one class he had me pushing myself and reaching positions I didn't know that I could. He is one of those teachers is so observant and can see you need to make an imperceptible adjustment, that totally changes the feeling of a posture. The pacing of the classes was excellent, both strenuous and incredibly relaxing. Dheeraj is incredibly knowledgeable and I learned so much about yamas and the principles of yoga. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to practice with Dheeraj and hope to continue learning from him. Alisha PathakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
