What students are saying about Paramesh
Paramesh’s teachings radiate from his very presence, reaching you on a profound level. Attending his philosophy classes has been an absolute gift! He beautifully draws you into the wisdom of Yoga, transforming each class into a joyous and enriching experience. His way of being inspires me deeply, and I’m endlessly grateful to have him as a guide on this incredible journey. I can’t wait for the next meditation and chanting session—just magical.
Ludovica, Italy
The yoga teacher training I did with La Casa Shambala was particularly special because of Paramesh. He is one of the most kind hearted, open-Minded and curious people that I’ve met, and he has the gift of seeing the best in everyone. It was such a beautiful and inspring thing to witness during the training, and you could see that touched people’s heart. I’m very grateful of the journey that I shared with Paramesh, which has become the beginning of a spiritual transformation that I had not forseen.
Colbie, China
I was lucky enough to have Paramesh as my teacher on a 200 hour yoga teacher training course. I have had quite a few yoga teachers over the years and I must admit that my experience is that good yoga teachers are difficult to come by. Paramesh is one of the best, if not the best teacher I ever had. He transmits his theoretical and lived experience with the spiritual in a way that is genuine, humble and funny. His teaching is both true to the original sutras as well as leaving room for the individual living in the modern world. I feel privileged that I had Paramesh as my teacher and recommend him with no hesitation.
Anders, 42, Psychologist, PhD, Denmark
I was fortunate enough to have Paramesh as my meditation and yoga philosophy teacher during my 200-hour yoga teacher training. Paramesh has a beautiful and fierce dedication to Bhakti yoga and his meditation practice, and this dedication extends to his students. Always guiding with an open heart, Paramesh meets his students exactly where they are in their own practice, and brings lightness and wisdom to every lesson. His mentorship has been an invaluable foundation to my own meditation and yoga practice. I will always begrateful to have had him as a teacher.
