15 | Yogiraj Utkarsh Sanjanwala - How Yoga Shapes You

This month we had the joy of talking with Yogiraj Utkarsh about his life and understanding of yoga. In particular, we explored what yoga is about, including the many types of yoga, and some of the misconceptions about it. We also got to explore the ways that yoga shapes a person over time. It's not just a set of physical postures (though it includes that!), but a way to connect with your Source, which he suggests people of all traditions can practice. Yogiraj Utkarsh Sanjanwala—master yoga and meditation teacher, is a dedicated leader in global wellness education. The title Yogiraj—meaning "Master among Yogis"—recognizes him as a lineage holder and senior representative of an authentic yogic tradition through his training in the Guru-Shishya tradition under Sri Swami Vidyanand. Through the World Yoga Federation and Meditation Alliance International, he provides inclusive, trauma-informed yoga education to diverse communities, specializing in supporting neurodiverse students using innovative pedagogical approaches integrating yoga, mindfulness, and life skills.
