Casa Mayor
hosted a yoga group led by Prasad Rangnekar in May 2004.
In all there were 7 participants, all completely new to
yoga. During the course his undivided attention was given
not only to the entire group but also to the needs of each
individual. By the end of the course all participants agreed
that the week had been of tremendous therapeutic value,
thanks to the effort put in by Prasad. It is hard to express
the level of gratitude that was shown to Prasad.

I had always thought "there
must be more to life than this" during the yoga week
with Prasad he helped me recognize what it was. I thought
yoga was a boring, form of exercise I now realize its a
whole different way of life. In one week we were shown the
many different facets of yoga and taught how to apply them
in your everyday life. Being able to practice breathing,
exercise and meditation and connecting these practices all
together, gave me a feeling of all over well being and peace
of mind. The yoga retreat week gave me a long awaited opportunity
to change my life. Prasad is passionate about yoga and with
his style of teaching he helps his students to bring out
the best in themselves. The whole concept of yoga is that
everyone can achieve it. Don’t think you can’t
do it....YOGA IS FOR EVERYONE.

In a time busy with material
success, unreal issues, a mind flooded with ceaseless thoughts
my inner core is asking for inspiration and healing and
my fortunate path leads me to meet Prasad Rangnekar:
Prasads pure energy, calm
state of being, great sense of humor and charisma make his
mere presence an experience of inspiration and motivation.
Living very much in this world, embracing technologies and
tools of modern society, Prasad shows us, how to integrate
the teachings and practices nurturing the true self into
our busy lives, so that there is no border, no cliff between
practice and life.
Yoga Nidra:
In a room saturated of white light and weightless energy
Prasad welcomes his students, relaxes us with humor and
ease to start the practice of Yoga Nidra. Lying quietly
on a mat, Prasad's instructions assist our bodies, part
by part, to relax and release, till we all find ourselves
in a state of calm awareness. Now the work on the mind is
commencing, layer after layer, obstructing our clear view,
is gently peeled away; deeper and deeper leads us Prasad
into the true nature of our own minds. I give myself over
to his voice and the practice and the constant thoughts
cease, the clouds disappear and I voyage to get a glimpse
of what Sogyal Rinpoche calls Rigpa, the true self.
Cleansed, weightless and
purified I emerge from this practice and carry the experience
and it's teaching in me. Grateful to my teacher and the
endless wisdom of the teachings I wish for all beings to
share this practice.

Prasad ist ein moderner
junger Mann und ein überzeugter Yogi. Sein Leben und
das was er erzählt stimmen überein, das macht
ihn glaubwürdig.
Seine Yogastunden am Vormittag
waren sehr abwechslungsreich und powerfull, vor allen die
am Strand. Die Nachmittage mit Tanzen, Massage, Wassergymnastik
und Strandmeditation waren abwechslungsreich, interessant
und manchmal auch sehr lustig. Die Abende mit Meditation
waren sehr intensiv. Prasad versteht es
gut, seine Theorien zu erklären (mit vielen, zum Teil
recht lustigen Beispielen).
Ich fühlte mich in
diesem Kurs sehr persönlich angesprochen und gut aufgehoben.
Ich habe viel gelernt und freue mich auf den nächsten
Kurs im Oktober.
Prasad is a modern young
man and a convinced Yogi. His own yogic way of life makes
him reliable. The Yoga class in the morning was very varied
and powerful many times on the beach. The afternoons we
had dancing, massage, water gymnastic and beach meditation
( silent walks on the beach ). All these were variedly,
interesting and sometimes also very merry. The evening meditations
were very intensive. Prasad’s sound understanding
of concepts helps in explanation of the theories (with many
humorous examples). I felt very personally addressed and
well looked after in this course. I learned and look forward
much to the next course in October.

The workshop was a great
success. The atmosphere in the clinic was just full of peace
and contentment. What a special gift we have received from
Prasad.

I had been doing yoga
for about 2 months when I went to the weekend retreat, at
that time I thought of it as a good way of becoming more
healthy, after doing the weekend I realized there is much
more to yoga than just that. I was amazed at how great it
made me feel in mind as well as in body and have been practicing
nearly every day since. I am looking forward to the summer
retreat in the summer and l learning more about all aspects
of yoga. Thanks with love.
- Tanya - Participant "Personal change
through Yoga " workshop
I discovered two things
during the meditation training - working with breathing
and OM as a background sound, and its rhythm, found that
having TWO things to focus on in the meditative process,
helped keep the mental parasites away. Thanks for your guidelines
and a good day's workshop.
