About us
INSPIRATION:
Someshvar is Sanskrit which consists of two words, Som and Ishvar. Som stands for moon and Ishvar means Lord. As per scriptures of Sanatan Dharma, Bhagwan Shiva is lord of many things. One of them is moon which is always shown on his head in sickle form enjoined in his jata, matted hair. He is therefore known as Someshwar.
It is believed that in Shivas matted locks from which the sacred river Ganga is emerging symbolizes the wild forest together with a medicinal plant also known as Soma. It is said that this plant can cure any illness. This aspect of Shiva is related to his shamanic nature.
In Jyotish (Vedic astrology), the moon is the ruler of our mind and emotions. It is the fastest moving among all the planets, just like our mind, which never stays still .This is the main reason for our misbalance in life. Shiva caries the moon on his had which symbolizes that he has mastered his mind completely, which is the key element for a yogi or anyone who practices meditation. He is the archetype of the meditator and the meditation it self.
For that we invoke Someshwara as our Mahaguru and to guide us on our path.

Later, he also studied to become a hatha yoga instructor, and apart from this style of yoga, he also has experience in ashtanga, tantra, kriya and yoga therapy.
