A very caring teacher Madhav is a very thoughtful and knowledgable teacher and gentle human being. He has a wealth of experience practicing yoga in its classical form. He tends to teach from a traditional perspective but maintains an openess to modern yoga practices. It was a pleasure being his student.
Best experience ever. I was lucky enough to be a student of Madhav for 4 weeks. Never in my mind I thought I was capable of such beautiful and intense yoga experiences. In every way he guided me and my group trough the 4 week period of yoga training. Every class, whether it was meditation or asana, I felt the spiritual and professional capacity of Madhav. The best teachers are the ones that make you feel the love and passion for yoga....Madhav did!
A wonderful teacher and person. Yogi Madhav is an exceptionally talented, patient, kind and skilful teacher. He has the correct balance between instruction and support as well as body focus and spiritual guidance and advice. I would not hesitate in any way to recommend him to anyone.
