"To me, Yoga is more than just an asana practice. Since Yoga and Ayurveda are sister sciences, I believe that to get the most benefit from a Yoga asana practice, one must try and incorporate all the 8 limbs of Yoga and follow an Sattvic Ayurvedic diet. " Sanjay was exposed to Yoga and Ayurveda having grown up in a traditional Hindu family in Bangalore/Mysore, India. He studied engineering and lived in Boston, USA for 25 years before quitting the corporate world and moving to Munich, Germany as a freelance photographer.
