Achal - Business owner and practising Yogi talks Lockdown in Bangalore in India   Achal is practising Yoga for last 30 years. Beginning in his teens, he took a Teacher’s Certification from Yogalife ( RYT 200). In personal & teaching practice, he sticks close to the Patanjali Path ” Yoga Citta Vritti Nirodham”, stilling the consciousness through the practice of Asana, Pranayam and Lifestyle.His class focuses on breathing, awareness, acceptance and own body intelligence techniques to deepen the postures and experience meditation through them.  Having been a part of modern corporate life, he brings solutions to handling stress in day to day living.  CLASS DEFINITION: “Yog Citta Vritti Nirodham”, we explore the most fundamental definition of Yog in the all levels class of Hatha. The psychosomatic oneness , that the body and mind are two dimensions of the same reality, we use body, breath and the self awareness in these sessions to achieve stillness of mind.  The structure of the class contains centering, stretching, warming up, balancing, backward, bends, forward bends and savasana, in that sequence   Hatha – intermediate “Tad Drashta Svarupe Avasthanam” and then the seer abides in its own glory, in these sessions we aim at getting a taste of the “Drashta”, the witness within us . Adding elements of flow to warm up and detox the restlessness of body, we move into postures with deep silence, exploring the witnessing self within .  The class focuses on moving deeper into some postures, holding them long to experience the deep sense of stillness and calm, which leads to awakening of the seer within, apart from the benefits to the body  From Achal: "I’ve held leadership roles across various domains with 30 years of work experience across large companies as well as start-ups, some of which I started on my own. I am passionate about environmental causes and social impact. Across the positions held throughout my career, many have required me to deal with diverse stakeholders and necessitated actions with limited market information.  I have worked with Fortune 500 companies such as GE,Sony and Pepsi in Senior Management Positions"   Enjoy   Full YouTube episode:   https://youtu.be/sajUArwHj0o Acha'ls Links:  https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yogahouse.in%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0XJuJrKCJEuj-YqT_6O_ZAQoWXMlkZIGCqdu6BQFGFRNWW7y8UK1imXLk&h=AT2NMvA8fUvgQBtsj6nbRV7p-lXbeuOmzSOz64ry9N_3hrJi6n2HsKCt9-W-FNKbo4NP6hEAEG_ho4jMeyPz9pNOZWeHCt0RFpifYYMyc566rCCBdz4xXqvhXZYsAp6CBSbxmPBC5XeTjPU2HKA   https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyuktayoga.org%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2MuDxjBg-WHt3IwzjszBXVAprIn1-cGiHe3yudQLzdY8DRK9qfxvGIaGQ&h=AT2NMvA8fUvgQBtsj6nbRV7p-lXbeuOmzSOz64ry9N_3hrJi6n2HsKCt9-W-FNKbo4NP6hEAEG_ho4jMeyPz9pNOZWeHCt0RFpifYYMyc566rCCBdz4xXqvhXZYsAp6CBSbxmPBC5XeTjPU2HKA   https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DFRGF77fBAeM%26fbclid%3DIwAR0j164Led1Y5inyGv6RB5A3xUNUYk6HLGjO0eqoFHwIGh-5DujMgQC8u04&h=AT2NMvA8fUvgQBtsj6nbRV7p-lXbeuOmzSOz64ry9N_3hrJi6n2HsKCt9-W-FNKbo4NP6hEAEG_ho4jMeyPz9pNOZWeHCt0RFpifYYMyc566rCCBdz4xXqvhXZYsAp6CBSbxmPBC5XeTjPU2HKA

It's not just a coffee shop.  There's an inspirational story behind it.   After Jacob survived a near fatal illness 7 years ago they decided to use their traumatic experience to help other families facing trauma by creating a support group which they called SURVIVORS MALTA.  The group went on to become a registered charity so as to create projects to help such families. The support in the virtual world soon spilled over into the real world and a hub was needed where others in need of support could meet and what better place to do so than at a coffee shop!  Jacob's Brew Cafe opened it's doors in July 2018. Since opening the Caçhia family together with their loyal patrons have raised thousands in funds to donate to Survivors Malta derived from the shops revenue and fund raising activities at the shop.  The funds raised have initiated projects at the hospital such as JACOB'S COFFEE RUN; delivering free sandwiches and coffee to the families in the waiting area at the intensive care unit and THE REUNITED PET CABIN; a building designated for pet visitation and pet therapy for the patients and their families.   Enjoy.   Full YouTube episode:   https://youtu.be/8aH_3NbU_mo You can find out more about them on their website :   https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jacobsbrew.cafe%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2BdM6h4Xt-dTjF0n0Hf8_gi8bsDZsQL-QiJMOOxUNZQs3iSFWGLluMnaY&h=AT2NMvA8fUvgQBtsj6nbRV7p-lXbeuOmzSOz64ry9N_3hrJi6n2HsKCt9-W-FNKbo4NP6hEAEG_ho4jMeyPz9pNOZWeHCt0RFpifYYMyc566rCCBdz4xXqvhXZYsAp6CBSbxmPBC5XeTjPU2HKA   Face book page: https://www.facebook.com/1866943970201077/posts/2516497645245703/
