The Journey towards Knowing yourself

So, at the moment doing a dance and yoga retreat with Saranch at GOYM Resort..what more could I wish for : the combination of my favorite things in life (also the food is great 😉🤣🤩) I always like to be surprised, to get to know different techniques, to explore even deeper.. This was my wish and intention for this retreat.. And wow, how it got delivered.. Saransh is a walking encyclopedia of meditation and breathing techniques after years of studying in different monasteries and ashrams.. He is rooted and formed in Rishikesh and this brings something very profound to the table.. He is a Seeker, his path and journey one of exploration as well.. And only now he is putting all this knowledge together in forming a retreat.. This abundance he wants to share.. To be honest, almost every technique he introduced is new to me, or I only briefly encountered it before.. So we are studying: kundalini Meditation (but very different from what I dipped my toe in with Andrei) , Osho dynamic meditation, chakra meditation, MSRT (mind sound resonating technique), trataka (candle light meditation).. A whole whole lot of Pranayama.. But luckily there are some beloved and familiair techniques such as sufi whirling ✨ and some sound healing and yoga nidra to soothe everything down.. Even the way he teaches yoga is very meditative : almost the complete time with eyes closed, the breath completely incorporated in the movement.. You can say : doing less to achieve more.. Go to a deeper state.. And that makes you experience a more intense stretch and relaxation of the mind and body.. But then.. Then there are my favorite classes.. You can't even really call it 'dance class'.. 🤣 It's dance movement and exploration workshops with Arzoo, such a divers, talented and beautiful dancer.. With simple techniques which are rooted in contemporary dance, somatic movement and Feldenkrais method he opens up your body and movement range.. Suddenly I find myself traveling to the floor and experiencing groundwork as easily.. He gives building blocks for creating your own choreo with such ease.. Mindblown 🤯🙃 This is the kind of teacher I could only dream of.. Arzoo has the enthusiasm and curiosity of a child and brings this into the dance.. He invites you to explore with the same mindset.. This breaks you out of your usual patterns, makes you wonder what else or new your body can do, makes you eager to create ✨💖 Last night I finally got to Shunya for the first time.. I really could put Arzoo's lessons to the groove.. It was nothing short from creating magic ✨ I'm definitely a richer dancer. To be honest, Arzoo and Saransh are the kind of teacher I would aspire to be.. Following the path of the Seeker: a long time of exploring, accumulating different knowledge, traditions, techniques.. To bring out your own unique blend and spice 💖

“I enjoy yoga sessions with Saransh as I highly appreciate his knowledge, devotion and attention to the needs of individuals during the sessions. One can definitely feel the energy Saransh is investing in leading his students on the spiritual journey through demonstrating asanas in a very understandable and appealing way.”

Though very young, Saransh has a unique way of thinking and shines with some inner wisdom of an old sage. I went to his yoga sessions during my stay in Arambol, and the classes were much more than classes: well structured, with a lot of sense, containing not only asanas, but also pranayama, meditation, philosophy and Saransh's personal touch of wisdom. Make you really take your yoga seriously, inhibits whole complexity. I am certified as a yoga teacher, spent three months in India, been to many classes of many known and unknown yogis, listened to many spiritual teachers, but there is really something special about Saransh, his authenticity, tone of voice, his calmness, kindness, sensibility and vast knowledge. I would recommend anyone to try his sessions, online or live, this is definitely something you will not experience in a yoga studio.

I took part in Saransh's yoga sessions with a friend in the winter and I can honestly say that it was the best yoga practice I have ever experienced. Saransh takes a lot of time and offers a perfect mix of meditation and relaxation phases, stretches and more dynamic phases. His calm voice really helped me to get deeply involved in the meditation phases. You can definitely tell that yoga is a passion for him and that he teaches his classes with all his heart. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or experienced: Saransh has the ability to meet everyone where they are and to give everyone access to yoga or an opportunity to expand their own practice. Just try it out: it's worth it!

Our first out of many sessions that summer with Saransh was not a typical yoga session, it was a genuine transformational inner and outer journey for all of us involved. His calming voice will guide you through many moments of meditation and asanas that will bring you to an upper state of being and frequency. His kind words will make the journey even more comfortable and soothing. I cannot emphasize enough how genuine and authentic Saransh yoga sessions were and how I can't wait to live them again because I wouldn't call them sessions but rather experiences and journeys. Thank you my dear Saransh

For more than 20 years of practicing different styles of yoga I had never felt such a transcendental experience during the yoga session. The Saransh Yoga Session is simply something different and way beyond just another hatha yoga. Saransh leads you through the entire experience with just a few words, yet his firm but gentle energy easily navigates you to the point of complete presence and awareness. Being quite challenged, in the past, to stay focused during meditation, I remained shocked realizing that we meditate for almost the whole hour on our first session. A true moment of catharsis occurred a few minutes after it, when Saransh my partner and I started crying one after another, being truly touched with the connection that has just happened in our field 🙏🏻 Saransh offers you the most natural and authentic approach allowing you to just BE. All recommendations from the bottom of my heart for this remarkable person ♥️

The yoga sessions with Saransh are very well planned accommodating ones needs and capabilities. It is a fine balance between the active part and the meditation. There is always something new added to each session and one feels advancement but also good suprised with new asanas that I have never tried before. Saransh is good and explaining, how to do the asanas and guiding through the sessions, it is a pleasure to attend his classes.

“Over the last 35 years I’ve been fortunate to study with some of the world's best known, and most gifted teachers in all aspects of optimal physical and mental performance - I have no hesitation in ranking Saransh up there with these world renowned teachers. He truly opened my eyes to the beauty, and strength of real yoga. Thank you Saransh 🙏”
