Naresh Kumar Goel - YCB Certified Yoga Therapist with more than 40 years of experience in yoga

I teach Yoga on UrbanPro and have 20 years of experience in teaching Yoga. My personal journey with Yoga has been much longer, as I have been learning and practising Yoga for the past 40 years. Over these four decades, Yoga has become an important part of my life, and I have developed a deep understanding of how regular practice can contribute to physical fitness, mental well-being, emotional balance, and a healthier lifestyle. I now enjoy sharing this knowledge and experience with others who want to make Yoga a meaningful part of their lives.

I am basically an Electrical Engineer and hold an M.Tech qualification. I retired as the Head of the Electrical Engineering Department in the Technical Education Department (Polytechnic), Haryana. My professional career in engineering and education has helped me develop strong discipline, planning, communication, and mentoring skills. These qualities have also influenced my approach to teaching Yoga, where I believe that consistency, structured learning, and proper guidance are important for meaningful progress.

My interest in Yoga began during my student days, and I have continued learning and practising it throughout my professional and personal life. After retirement, I completed a 200-hour Teacher Training Course (TTC) from the Sri Sri School of Yoga. This formal training further strengthened my understanding of Yoga practices and teaching methods. I have also appeared for the YCB Level 6 examination for Yoga Therapist conducted under the Ministry of AYUSH, and I am currently awaiting the results.

Over the years, my practice and experience have helped me understand the wide-ranging benefits that Yoga can offer. I believe that regular Yoga practice can support physical well-being, improve flexibility and strength, help manage stress and anxiety, and contribute to better mental balance. It can also help individuals develop greater self-confidence, willpower, discipline, and awareness of their own body and mind. My aim is to help students experience these benefits through regular and consistent practice.

My teaching approach is practical, structured, and student-friendly. I combine appropriate Yoga theory with hands-on practice so that students understand not only how to perform a particular practice but also its purpose and benefits. I focus on proper techniques, breathing, flexibility, relaxation, stress management, and overall well-being. I also understand that every individual has different abilities, fitness levels, and requirements, so I try to adapt my sessions accordingly.

I conduct both online and offline classes and make my sessions interactive and focused on individual needs. I encourage students to practise consistently and gradually improve rather than trying to achieve advanced postures or results immediately. My experience has taught me that Yoga is a journey, and progress comes through patience, discipline, correct practice, and regular guidance. I aim to create a comfortable learning environment where students can practise at their own pace while receiving proper support and instruction.

My larger goal is to share my knowledge and experience of Yoga with as many people as possible and help them lead healthier, happier, and more balanced lives. I believe that the benefits of Yoga extend beyond physical fitness and can positively influence our mental well-being, confidence, productivity, and overall approach to life. Through my classes, I hope to encourage people to develop a consistent Yoga practice that supports their long-term health and well-being and contributes to a healthier and more positive society.
