A letter from Nobel Prize nominee Ashok Malhotra

August 15, 2017

Dear Friends:

Dr. Steve Keeler, SUNY Distinguished Service Professor, SUNY Cayuga Community College, created a video of “Ashoka Yoga: Gentle Yoga for Everyone” It is a simplified version of physical postures as well as breathing and meditation exercises along with systematic relaxation of 12 bodily muscles leading to total calmness. A carefree gentle yoga for all the stressed out/overworked students, faculty and other members of your community.  This video is the culmination of my fifty years of teaching yoga to people of all ages including school children from first grade to high school to college students as well as to adults of all ages.

I have been offering week-long or weekend workshop all over the USA, Europe and India to “time starved” busy people who are experiencing “time famine.” This is my way of helping them and at the same time raising funds for the Ninash Foundation (www.ninash.org) that has built 7 schools for 1700 female and minority children in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat in India.
If you are interested, I could mail you copy of the video (for $15 or more donation to Ninash Foundation) to watch with your family and friends.

Let me  also know if you would like me to come over and give a workshop at your university or rotary or organization.

I would love to come over for a weekend or a week to run a workshop for the stressed-out ones in order to rejuvenate them.

Hope to hear from you regarding my offer to help the “time starved” dear friends of yours.

In gratitude,

Dr. Ashok Kumar Malhotra
