I could write about our Swami on Patnem Beach and tell you everything that I have learned. But I find that his website that is posted on his business card gives a better story than I could ever tell. We didn’t realize that we were taking classes from someone quite extraordinary. He has a presence and is calm and peaceful, but until we pulled up a chair the other night and read his story, we didn’t know just what Swami Shinva Nand Jee was all about. Our jaws dropped once we finished reading this post written by another of his students and it tells his story so beautifully, that we just had to share it with you.
It was supposed to just be a drop in class when we visited Swami Shiva Nand Jee’s class on Patnem Beach. We followed the painted fabric yoga signs to a tranquil hut behind Mountain Palms Restaurant. Three and a half bamboo thatched walls enclose a yoga studio. Large beach mats lay over the sand with rows of yoga mats facing centre. Many people are intimidated by the photos of our instructor pasted on the walls. His body is contorted in all directions. Legs over his head, postures where he is shaped like a pretzel. He’s not going to make us do that is he?
