Your Hosts
Shannel is a multi-disciplined practitioner of Yoga and Wellness of over 15 years, her passion extending to Ayurveda as well as skills in both Chakra and Theta Healing.
Though from the UK, she grew up in East Africa and has traveled extensively. Stints in South America, Southern Asia, Central Asia, Australia and Bali have taken her across the globe as part of her spiritual journey.
She deepened her practice of Yoga in India, where she studied and qualified across the key limbs of Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, Ashtanga, Yin and Restorative Yoga.
Shannel further qualified in the specialisms of Children’s, Pre & Post Natal, Women’s Health Yoga as well as Guided Meditation.
Her life journey has brought her a profound exploration of spirituality, enriching her practice and teaching. The sudden loss of her father at a young age, coupled with other significant personal challenges, has deeply influenced Shannel’s spiritual growth and dedication to wellness. These life experiences have fueled her passion for understanding the unique needs and strengths of individuals, particularly women, at different life stages. This passion drives her to create supportive and empowering wellness practices that foster both physical well-being and spiritual growth.
Omesh grew up in Jammu & Kashmir, India, adhering to the central theme of Sanatan Dharma, following the principle paths of yoga ie Bhakti, Jhana, Karma, and Raja Yoga, more as a way of life without being consciously aware of it.
From early childhood he was fortunate to be surrounded by highly spiritual people and exposed to their philosophy of life.
Omesh had his first formal taste of yoga in 2006 when he was working in the corporate sector. Although he worked his way up in that world, he always felt it wasn’t really what he wanted in life. He felt a strong connection to yoga, and it pulled him back into its sphere of influence when a close friend reintroduced him to yogic philosophy.
Although his studies in India adhered to the highest standards, he has lived in England for many years and understands that different cultures require modification of methods and techniques.
Omesh has been visiting India on a yearly basis, and over the years has attended many workshops organised by the Divine Life Society and the Swami Sivananda Foundation on Bhakti Yoga, Meditation and Ayurveda.
