Raj Kumar’s practice is immersed in connecting to the energetic self via the use of both pranayama and meditation, using the physical body as a tool or metaphor for something deeper. His self-practice is echoed in his teachings defining a unique style that is clearly his own. With a lineage of multiple styles of yoga, combined with enthusiasm for eastern philosophy gives Raj Kumar a calming aura to be around.
