Greatest master of Yoga (the unique and beautiful style Panchanga Yoga - yoga of the five ways, hata, raja, jnana, bakti, karma) and Ayurveda, he touched us with his spirit, and throught his wise hands he tought us the magic of touch, as a portal between two souls "Massage is a touch to enter into a new dimension, through communication and exchange. It is care between two people, one active and the other passive-receptive, sharing joy, love, energy, affection, attention and awareness."
Joyti is for us the connection point, the magician that brought us to enconter, fall in love and fly.

Gurupa Ji and family.
Great-grandfather of a numerous and marvellous family from Hampi, Gurupa just welcomed us in his family house, sharing simple food and accomodation, sharing his life together with the children, women taking care of the house work, men working in a small shop in the street, grandmothers taking care of the buffalos,. We lived with them, sharing this life, without sharing the same language, but speaking the "Atma language", the language of the soul. There are no words to describe our connection with this family, in fact we were not using them at all. Just our hearts were singing of joy.

Ganga, Mata Ji and the Santosh Puri Ashram family (Yoganga Ashram)
The most powerfull and yet simple, beautiful and yet humble example of living the Yoga philosophy. When we met Mataji and Ganga in the ashram, we got profoundly touched by their luminous eyes, Ganga was a young man and still he told us about his family history, when his father left the body, the insight he had practicting yoga, as a very wise man. One of the best living teaching we witnessed.
