“Yoga with javad gives me peace and energy...”
“...My career as a glass artist with a very busy schedule certainly left me
in a high energy state at all times.Yoga with Javad has made a huge
difference in my ability to relax and be calm. This past year has been
a challenge with Ovarian Cancer and chemo therapy. Java's attention
to my individual needs both with and cancer and limitations from a
broken hip have helped me to have a better quality of life both
spiritually and physically. The classes are small and
intimate with everyone's special needs met by Javad.”

“ Javad's ability to customize the class to every
student's level of ability..."
"... My husband Marc and I have been attending Javad's class since
August 2013 and love it!It's an amazing way to increase strenght,
flexibility and fitness in a fun and supportive environment.Javad's
ability to customize the class to every student's level of
ability and physical capacity is outstanding. I would highly recommend
Javad's classes to anyone looking for a safe, enjoysble way to
tackle musculoskeletal problems and to increase physical fitness.
The class is also a great way to lessen stress and anxiety
and improve overall mental health. With our busy schedules it
helped us to feel more calm, relaxed, and able to tackle the day,
We're so sad to be moving and will miss our classes with Javad immensely!"

"... within a few weeks of attending classes, I began to experience remarkable
improvements physically and, even more important, mentally. Years later, I had an
LVAD inserted and then a heart transplant. I cannot imagine how I would have coped
without javad's constant help especially in getting me mobile after every hospital
stay and teaching me breathing techniques to cope with pain and reduce anxiety.
Javad is a gifted teacher and in his classes, each student receives iindividual attention......
"Progress is guided with insight, compassion and a extraordinary wealth of
knowledge and skill. He has a seemingly inexhaustible supply of stories from his many
years in India and joie de vivre is irresistible. His teaching helps foster the strong sense
of camaraderie evident among his students. I am very grateful to be part of this."

"...After 50 years of coaching football in the NFL,CFL and American universities,
and playing football at the University of Maryland, the Washington Redskins, the
Ottawa Rough Iders and the US Air Force, it was time to retire. Over the years
I have kept in shape playing handball, racquetball and golf. Now I began
looking for something I could do for the rest of my life. I saw some things
about yoga that looked intresting. One thing I read said that while yoga was great
for the young it was also something you could do for life.I looked around, talked
to a lot of people and found the person who I feel is right for me-Javad Khansalar.
His background in India is most impressive. He is an excellent technical teacher and
also a person with good knowledge of the importance of the student's feelings.He
dose a good job of getting his point across, at times with a little humor. I truly
believe that yoga is something that will benefit me for the rest of my life.
This is in both physical and a mental way. There is always something to learn
no matter what your age..........at 84 I am just getting started.."

“What improvement yoga has brought to my quality of life!....”
“...As a fencer competing on an international level, I began taking classes with
Javad as another means to improve my training regiment. Only a couple of
months in so far and Yoga has proven to be a very useful, multi faceted tool
for both training and life in general. Along with the expected physical benefits that
came with greater flexibility, (quicker recovery time after training, strength in a
greater range of motion, less chance of injury, etc.), I’ve found there to be equal
if not greater psychological benefits. My level of concentration on and off the
fencing piste has become greater and more consistent, while stress and
anxiety have had less to do with my everyday life. Working with Javad has
so far been a very positive experience. His level of professionalism and
knowledge combined with his light spirited way of motivating his students
gives me the feeling of being in very good hands. Yoga has proven to be not only
a means to improve performance in my endeavors, but an exiting and
challenging journey on it’s own; one that I plan to pursue for years to come.”

"When I started attending classes with Javad, I had just
experienced a terrible depression..."
"...that left me feeling weary and afraid. I knew that I needed to find a way to let
go of the incapacitating fear that I felt, the desperate need to control, and the
relentless demands of my ego; I just didn't know how. I certainly didn't think
that yoga had anything to do with learning how to live a peaceful, happy life.
Rather, I thought it would provide some flexibility, an opportunity to meet others,
and most importantly, another distraction. The last thing I wanted to do was be
alone with my thoughts.”
What I didn't expect was that Javad's teaching would
shine a light on the darkness in my life. I quickly recognized that Javad was
teaching not from a place of smallness, but from a place of tremendous
strength that had nothing to do with ego. Javad teaches from a place of
stillness and presence, which is what makes his teaching so transformative.
Under his selfless tutelage, I have witnessed his students grow. As they fold
into various asanas, their spirits unfold, bridging earth and sky.
I too have experienced this unfolding. Yes, my flexibility has improved.
But more than that, yoga has brought deep serenity and clarity of purpose to my life."

"I recommend Javad to all my friends...."
" I was born in February 1926 and have been diagnosed with severe, inoperable, spinal stenosis.I had many treatments-physiotherapy, exercises, massage to
name just a few-and nothing helped until I experienced yoga with Javad. I am
experiencing tremendous improvement. I can now do the yoga stretches on
the floor and get up with minimal help from a chair. I can walk in my apartment
without a cane, can walk better than before with cane and quiter far with a walker.
My mental outlook has improved. I recommend Javad to all my friends.

" Yoga for Life....."
"...After 50 years of coaching football in the NFL,CFL and American universities,
and playing football at the University of Maryland, the Washington Redskins, the
Ottawa Rough Iders and the US Air Force, it was time to retire. Over the years
I have kept in shape playing handball, racquetball and golf. Now I began
looking for something I could do for the rest of my life. I saw some things
about yoga that looked intresting. One thing I read said that while yoga was great
for the young it was also something you could do for life.I looked around, talked
to a lot of people and found the person who I feel is right for me-Javad Khansalar.
His background in India is most impressive. He is an excellent technical teacher and
also a person with good knowledge of the importance of the student's feelings.He
dose a good job of getting his point across, at times with a little humor. I truly
believe that yoga is something that will benefit me for the rest of my life.
This is in both physical and a mental way. There is always something to learn
no matter what your age..........at 84 I am just getting started.."

“What improvement yoga has brought to my quality of life!....”
“...As a fencer competing on an international level, I began taking classes with
Javad as another means to improve my training regiment. Only a couple of
months in so far and Yoga has proven to be a very useful, multi faceted tool
for both training and life in general. Along with the expected physical benefits that
came with greater flexibility, (quicker recovery time after training, strength in a
greater range of motion, less chance of injury, etc.), I’ve found there to be equal
if not greater psychological benefits. My level of concentration on and off the
fencing piste has become greater and more consistent, while stress and
anxiety have had less to do with my everyday life. Working with Javad has
so far been a very positive experience. His level of professionalism and
knowledge combined with his light spirited way of motivating his students
gives me the feeling of being in very good hands. Yoga has proven to be not only
a means to improve performance in my endeavors, but an exiting and
challenging journey on it’s own; one that I plan to pursue for years to come.”

"...that left me feeling weary and afraid. I knew that I needed to find a way to let
go of the incapacitating fear that I felt, the desperate need to control, and the
relentless demands of my ego; I just didn't know how. I certainly didn't think
that yoga had anything to do with learning how to live a peaceful, happy life.
Rather, I thought it would provide some flexibility, an opportunity to meet others,
and most importantly, another distraction. The last thing I wanted to do was be
alone with my thoughts.”
What I didn't expect was that Javad's teaching would
shine a light on the darkness in my life. I quickly recognized that Javad was
teaching not from a place of smallness, but from a place of tremendous
strength that had nothing to do with ego. Javad teaches from a place of
stillness and presence, which is what makes his teaching so transformative.
Under his selfless tutelage, I have witnessed his students grow. As they fold
into various asanas, their spirits unfold, bridging earth and sky.
I too have experienced this unfolding. Yes, my flexibility has improved.
But more than that, yoga has brought deep serenity and clarity of purpose to my life."

doing yoga with Javad as soon as I moved to India, and continued
with yoga during the whole 9 months of my first pregnancy. Doing yoga in
pregnancy really helped me stay relaxed and stress-free, and increased my
strength and flexibility. I'm sure my baby's contented and calm temperament is
partly due to the relaxation techniques and meditation that I was
taught! Since my baby was born, yoga has helped me improve my flexibility
even further and regain my muscle strength and lose weight.
I thoroughly enjoy the classes and find them a great way to

was very positive. The young athletes enjoyed the challenge of the training,
presented by Javad with sensitivity and a great sense of humour. Yoga teaches
athletes to balance the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of sport and life,
and Javad approaches his teaching with compassion, humour, and respect,
while challenging the individual students to reach their full potential. We will continue
to offer Javad’s program to our young athletes and have begun to offer it to
our High Performance athletes as well.”

Yoga with Javad is a unique experience. And I always leave feeling rested and restored.
Yoga has reduced my stress levels and significantly improved my flexibility.
Books are useful, but have their limitations. The subtleties of pranayama
technique can only be learned from experienced teachers. I can’t imagine a
better teacher than Javad. Through Yoga, Javad has taught me the importance
of physical, intellectual, and spiritual balance in my life, while continually
challenging and motivating me. But most importantly, he has taught me
to live with compassion for myself and for others.”

“...and I attended Javad's yoga class on a daily basis. In the UK I work in a stressful

and emotionally. My advancement in my flexibility and postures due to Javad's
patience and encouragement enabled me to feel confident, calm and an
all round happier person. When I think back on my time in India, my
first thoughts are always on how much I enjoyed my morning yoga classes.
Javad was a dedicated teacher who throughly motivated me to constantly
develop and advance. I made many friends through the class and Javad has also
became a dear friend that I miss. ”

“...consultant, now I am a housewife and full-time mother! I started
doing yoga with Javad as soon as I moved to India, and continued
with yoga during the whole 9 months of my first pregnancy. Doing yoga in
pregnancy really helped me stay relaxed and stress-free, and increased my
strength and flexibility. I'm sure my baby's contented and calm temperament is
partly due to the relaxation techniques and meditation that I was
taught! Since my baby was born, yoga has helped me improve my flexibility
even further and regain my muscle strength and lose weight.
I thoroughly enjoy the classes and find them a great way to
unwind and start off my day on a really positive note.
Thank you Javad!”

“...about it is that I am as eager to attend his classes today as I was
when I began. Yoga has been wonderful. However fit you are, and
whatever else you do-gymming, running or even playing a good game of
squash or tennis-yoga takes you to another level of fitness. Keeps you body
and mind, supple and agile.
Yoga was especially beneficial to me during
my pregnancy. I practiced yoga till the last stage, gained minimal weight
and had an easy labor, if ever there is a phrase like that! The best part,
I thought, was that yoga helped me bounce back faster post delivery. I was
back at Javad's classes within a few weeks and things were back to normal pretty fast.”
