The Hallmark Of Happy And Contented Living
Aadil Palkhivala is recognized as one of the world’s leading life-gurus, yogis, Purna Yoga® luminaries and educators. He is a Juris Doctor, Naturopath, the Co-founder of Purna Yoga® College &
Co-director of Alive and Shine® Center. Aadil is the protégée of grand-master B.K.S. Iyengar, whose teachings form the foundation of most yoga-asana taught today. Aadil started with Iyengar at the age of 7. Practicing
frequently for over 8 hours a day, Aadil was the youngest person ever to be awarded the Advanced Yoga Teacher’s Certificate from Iyengar at the age of 22. His spiritual gurus are Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
Aadil’s experience of holistic healing was originally prenatal, as his mother could not conceive for 7 years and, only after practicing yoga with B.K.S. Iyengar did she conceive Aadil, her first child. Today,
with degrees in law, physics, and mathematics, Aadil is known as one of the world’s top speakers and life-mentors and, for over 50 years, has had the reputation as the “teacher of teachers." He has trained
over 2,000 yoga teachers in India, Asia, Europe, and the United States since 1976.
