Tina Russo was Born in the late 1960s in Toronto, Canada and I graduated after 4 years of College with an Arts diploma.

After years of study of living with my inner struggles, I attended Acting classes and was involved in the Acting & Film industry!

During that time I become deeply involved on a journey of Spiritual Detoxing, to discover my own Inner Happiness.

Through my inner desire to find this happiness & renewal of my spirit, deep within my soul. I was guided to a practice that comes from my cell's memory, the discovery of my Passion, Yoga.

As my journey with my Passion continues after 16years, I have become a silent witness to my own well-being.  Aware and observing without judgment or expectations, my breath brings me in touch with my own soul.

The transformation of mind, body, and spirit.  The yoke, the union, has inspired and transformed my physical and mental well-being.

Achieving a balance in my everyday life reaching a state of inner calmness, that brings a beautiful sense of peace.

Kranti was born to a Sanatana Hindu Dharma traditional family on a special date at 6.15am on the 14th September 1980. During the religious ceremony of Ganesh Pooja Rishi Punchme. In a small ancient spiritual yogi tribe community which has a mix of many religions found in India, including Sanatana Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Jans, Buddhist, Jewish. In this way a wide range of religious aspects of life and knowledge were represented and present in his upbringing. His hometown is a center for pilgrims of all religions to come, sometimes walking 200km to make their spiritual calling. Many Sadhus and Yogis come to the Durga Shakti Peeth Maa Bamleshwari Devi Baglamukhi Temple.

His parents were disciples of Guru Yogi Maharata Chana Baba, a yogic, vedic, ayurvedic practitioner, who gave Kranti his name and took him under his wing at only 2 years old to be taught the traditional ways. Saying his verdic charts showed he would be a revolutionary soul. He was told at an early age he was going to wake people up. He began by practicing Poojas everyday and his spiritual knowledge and yogic practice grew over time studying for 16 years under his Gurus guidance. He comes from a long lineage of guru-shishya parampara, meaning Master - Student tradition in Yoga. He promised his Master then that he would devote his life to social work. At 18 years old he was sent to different ashrams all over India to experience different traditional and spiritual cultures and learn their ways. His journey took him to visit over 50 ashrams over 3.5 years. He then went on a 9 month pilgrimage with his Guru traveling all of India visiting sacred pilgrimage sites. At the age of 22 he was sent to see and learn a modern approach to spirituality at a Sivananda Divine Life Society Yoga International Ashram. He carried on his service there on and off for 10 years learning, growing and sharing traditional knowledge. It was here that he was first introduced to western society and modern western teaching styles which opened his perspective and mind to the wider world.

When his master saw that he was ready he sent him to the south of India. During his travels he ended up in Goa in the South of Goa. He started teaching foreign students. They were looking for peace, harmony and happiness. He started teaching yoga sharing his wisdom and yogic lifestyle. In 2007 he founded one of the first fully residential yoga schools in Goa, the Kranti Yoga School, within the peaceful tropical nature of Patnem beach with overwhelming success teaching 18,055 students from all over the world for 15 years. During the time of reflection in 2020 a new vision was developed from his guru to bring Kranti Yoga Vedic Tradition to the west to those who could not travel and were in need of support from a spiritual path. After taking a blessing from his Guru he is now going forward to bring his unique lineage of yoga and spiritual teaching traditions to the western doorsteps as we enter the Age of Aquarius, a powerful vedic time for growth and change. As a service to humanity and commitment to growing consciousness. To support this vision in 2022 he founded the Kranti Yoga Foundation, a non profit international organisation and the rest is history in the making…

Guru Tarun’s passion, and dedication, has not only allowed him to spread knowledge and interest in Yoga, but it has also enabled him to expand the techniques used broadly whilst keeping its original beauty, maintaining an untainted connection to its roots.

Yogi Kranti’s Teaching Style The Bhagavad Gita (a Hindu holy book written by Lord Krishna) once said that “Yoga is the ultimate journey to discover the self”. Yogi Kranti kept this very bold statement in mind and used it as a motivational factor when he started his journey of popularizing Yoga and spreading love for this way of life, 15 years ago. His dream of teaching Yoga, with creative fun-filled techniques has vastly progressed. To date, he has trained more than 18,055 Students successfully, making Kranti Yoga International a star amongst the Yoga institutes, worldwide.

Teaching as his way of life, Yogi Kranti draws his inspiration from Shri Yogi Chana Baba and teaches the principles of the traditional Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series in conjunction with the dynamic energy of Vinyasa Flow. The purifying qualities of the primary series’ sequence and the creativity of the vinyasa flow complement each other perfectly, and together are well known as Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Alongside this he also teaches Yin Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Hatha Yoga and Acro Yoga.

Yogi Kranti’s passion, and dedication, has not only allowed him to spread knowledge and interest in Yoga, but it has also enabled him to expand broadly the techniques used, whilst keeping its original beauty, maintaining an untainted connection to its roots.
Visionary Yogi Kranti in addition to coaching future Yoga Trainers, has also added to the learning experience, making the journey more fascinating, by employing Yoga Intensive methods, techniques and immersions, converting the entire learning experience into the ultimate dream Yoga Holiday on panoramic beaches. 

6th to 20th August 2022.

I have been interested in exploring the mystery of life through body movement since I was a little girl, practising different disciplines such as gymnastics, dance or yoga. I studied Physical Theatre and I have started my studies on Psychology too, but quite recently I realized Yoga was what I was looking for : a discipline that works on body, mind and soul at a time. So I completed a 200h Hatha Yoga teacher training and I got mad about it. Right now, I am offering sessions in French Polynesia !

Life is about loving, laughing, and sharing... Life is about Yoga! I consider myself a giving person who loves making people feel at home. In my lessons, I like to adapt to the level and necessities of the students and to take some time for relaxing, breathing and meditation before starting the asana practice.

I have a background in the fitness world and have been working as a personal trainer during the last 10 years in combination with the companies I have run, “Hippy Market Sthlm” is one of them (yes, I love Ibiza).
Last year I fell in love with the Ayurvedic Yogamassage which I found as a balancing element to everyday life.

I decided to become a Yoga massage theraphist at Axelsons Institute in Stockholm and founded “Grit & Harmony”, a wellness company with a holistic approach.  Also I have attended the education in Functional Fitness through Eleiko and attended the course in Japanese // Tibetan Facelift massage at Axelsons Institute.

In August I am starting my Yoga Teacher training at Urban Om in Stockholm.
This form of Ayurvedic Yogamassage is developed by Master Kusum Modak from Pune in India and she was a student to B.K.S Iyengar. Kusum have spread the magic of Ayurvedic Yogamassage by educating teachers from around the world, our teachers at Axelsons Institute are two of them, Johan and Vandana Jain.
I offer treatments in Ayurvedic Yogamassage and Tibetan // Japanese natural facelift massage.

Ayurvedic Yogamassage is a fullbody treatment with sesame oil massage working with the connective tissue with alternating lighter and deeper strokes in line with the energy paths in the body which increases circulation, blood- and lymphatic flow.
In combination with assisted stretching based on yoga asanas we work with synchronized breathing during the stretching and the aim is to bring the body to its natural alignment and state of health.
The treatment is performed on a mattress on the floor where the client wears underwear with covering towels and I use hands, feet and body weight in the various steps.

It is an active but at the same time relaxing treatment and the pressure is adapted to the client's needs, the key is that the whole body is treated.
Finally, the client receives a relaxing head and face massage.
Yogamassage is both a healing and preventive treatment that counteracts, to name a few, back and neck problems, sciatica, problems from the shoulders, hips, knees and ankles, stress, migraines, and sleep problems.

Tibetan // Japanese natural facelift massage is a deeply relaxing facial massage that dissolves muscle tension in the face, scalp, neck and shoulders, and increases cellular oxygenation to the skin.

The massage stimulates and balances the nervous system, increases circulation and lymphatic flow and dissolves tension, which also gives the facial muscles a lift and the skin a fantastic glow.

The method is a combination of proven traditional Japanese and Tibetan techniques that even with acupressure work actively with the body's organs and hormonal system - a treatment that works via the face for the whole body."

Teaching around the last two weeks of July 

In my teaching, my mission is to bridge somatics, circular movement, and a new understandings in anatomy with Yoga Asana and the roots of the Iyengar Yoga method in a playful way to create an optimised and individual way of practicing Asana and other modalities of Movement. I was initiated into Yoga at an early age, watching my grandfather in a headstand every morning, having consistent yoga practice throughout High School and finally became a facilitator upon teaching friends during my studies in Ireland. As it often goes, I had to go to the West to realise my passion for the wisdom of Eastern Practices and Yoga and made my way back to India to learn the science and arts of this ancient practice.

Twelve years on, I am still hungry to share, learn and engage in the bliss of Yoga as well as other somatic forms of Martial Arts, Qi Gung, Primal Movements as well as science-based knowledge to compliment each individual body.

Teaching some classes from 31st March 2022 until 9th April 2022

Yoga and Meditation Teacher, on and off the mat. I have been traveling, practicing yoga and assisting all over the world which helped me to discover my own, unique style of teaching. During my class I use a wide range of tools, styles and techniques, combine movement and stillness, various yoga styles, from dynamic ones like yang yoga forms to gentler styles such as yin, restorative, silent yoga, including some kundalini elements, conscious dance, pranayama, as well as different forms of active and passive meditation and self-inquiry. I truly believe that “the fastest way to silence the mind is to move the body” thus my classes usually start from movement to prepare the mind for stillness, meditation and silence. The aim of the class is to create a safe space to release any negative energy and come back into the body, to the breath and the present moment and get deeper into the inner state of being.

Teaching 19th to 26th March 2022

The entire week will be focused on learning how to feel good. If you feel good then you do good. Having recently discovered the importance of the Vagus nerve for health and vitality, guests will learn both on and off the mat, how to stimulate this network of nerves that connect the body to the brain, leading to feelings of well-being you are unlikely to have experienced before. Classes will be dividend into 3 parts. The first half hour will be centred around breathing and meditation where we establish a deeper connection between mind and body before heading into a series of stretches aimed at warming up the body to prepare it for the succession of asanas to come, mainly based on a Vinyasa flow. As the week goes on, the difficulty of the asanas will increase as the body adapts. The last part of each class will focus on fascial tissue release using Yin yoga, ending off with more breathing and meditation. At this point guests should experience a feeling of floating unlike they have ever felt before. 

I will also be available for private meditation session which will involve use of the latest technology in brainwave measurement and guests will be able to measure their progression using EEG data which will be recorded and analysed in order to establish the right techniques suitable for their needs. 

Karlie will teach on and off from Sunday 10th April to 24th June 2022

My goal as a teacher is to provide students with a safe space where they can find internal peace through external movement. I teach a fluid yet strengthening vinyasa style class, with a strong focus on the breath. My intention is to guide students towards focusing on how a pose feels in their body, rather than how a pose looks. 

 

What I have learned through yoga has become present in every aspect of my life, and I am deeply honored to be able to share this passion with others. 

 

 

Teaching different days from early April 2022

I have been practicing yoga for eight years and teaching yoga for four years now. It all started very organically for me. I always loved to dance and yoga became second nature for me. My intention in my practice is to guide others safely into their own bodies. It is not so much teaching as it is holding space and allowing others to explore their own movement and practice. I lead a breath centric practice combining principles of yin yoga and vinyasa yoga; beginning class by slowing down & holding poses and gradually transitioning into flowing movements, using strength of the body and concentration of the mind.
