About Us
Our story
& Prana Awakening
A combination of Hope & Love
We are Mahendra & Lili
Bi-national married couple (India/France)
Hari 🕉, namaste!
If you arrived here, reading these few words, we would like to convey our gratitude to you. For your time, for your interest and your trust in us.
We are Mahendra and Lili. We met in the land of Yoga, Rishikesh (India) in July 2019, during a YTTC (Yoga Teacher Training Course).
I (Lili) came for a 200h training course with the only desire to deepen my practice and understanding of Yoga. I was so focused on that, I couldn't see what the Universe's plans were at that moment
But, thank God, he did.
He was noticing me during the whole course and trying to understand these feelings he never experienced before. And, one day Mahendra ji confessed to me: "My eyes have chosen you".
From that day, our beautiful Love story started. Just a couple of days before my return back to Europe.
Faith, hope, patience & confidence. These are really the foundations that helped us overcome so many challenges.
After two years apart, we were blessed to be reunited again together in India and celebrate our union. And, during a global pandemic, the 12nd July 2021, we got married ♡
Now, we are living together in our oasis of peace in Spain. From our purest love of sharing, we teach classes that transmit the traditional and ancestral wisdom of Yoga.
If you wish, we would be delighted to accompany you on this journey.
With Love and Care.
about Him
Mahendra Ji, Indian Yoga Master
Born in a Buddhist place in northern India (near Sankisa, Uttar Pradesh), Mahendra Ji left the family home in 2012 and traveled to Haridwar to answer his calling.
In Haridwar, the divine land where the sacred Ganges flows from the Himalayas, Mahendra ji began his journey at Patanjali Yogpeeth Ashram where he stayed under the shadow of the prestigious Gayatri Pariwar Ashram (Shanti Kunj), for 4 years.
This Ashram is known for its spiritual practices and the cultivation of good sanskaras. Devotees must follow a complete yogic life, starting the day at 4am with their sadhana followed by seva (voluntary services) among other practices.
During the stay, he completed his Post Graduate Diploma in Yoga Science. And later, to deepen his practice and understanding of yoga, he completed his Master of Science in Yoga at Uttarakhand University of Sanskrit.
In 2016, the owner of a famous school (Rishikul Yogshala) took him to Rishikesh, the worldwide capital of Yoga, to share his knowledge and wisdom through monthly Yoga Teacher Training Courses (YTTC) with hundreds of students from all over the world.
Mahendra Ji's speciality or mastery is Pranayama teachings. In each of his classes, he adds Yoga philosophy, explanations of Mudras, Mantras chanting, Relaxation and Meditation, and he loves to share healthy tips from Ayurveda.
His own yogic lifestyle is a great motivation for those who want to follow the path of Yoga.
a project born from our Love, in a middle of a worldwide pandemic.
One of the difficulties Universe placed in our way, was the distance.
Mahendra ji in India, me in Spain... And a mountain of obstacles to surmount that we couldn't even imagine reuniting again.
But also knew an important detail: Mahendra was born to help others.
So, despite his initial resistance, I persuaded him to continue teaching and sharing, online, with my support.
He finally accepted & Prana Awakening came into the Light.
Through Online Classes, we are sharing the Ancient Traditions of Yoga and Ayurveda all over the World, for a better life.
In only few months, we witness the improvement of hundreds of students, and, we hope this is just the beginning!
