*********************************************


Kranti was born in Italy, under the sign of Cancer in 1970, in
Chinese astrology’s Year of the Dog. Since childhood, he’s had an
instinct for expansion and growth. His interest in the human mind
and self-inquiry ignited at age 14, after reading his first book
on meditation written by Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh).


 


Eventually, Kranti developed an interest in Yoga. In 1991, he
travelled through India, and a few years later, he started a
daily practice.


 


In Milan in 1996, he took a one-year teacher training
with Carlo Patrian, one of the yoga pioneers in Italy. A few
years later, while in Berlin, he was introduced to
the Ashtanga method and fell in love with the practice.
Since then, although Kranti’s yoga experience was complimented
with the Iyangar method, Ashtanga became his daily practice
and passion.


 


Kranti moved to Copenhagen a few years later, teaching Ashtanga
and Hatha Vinyasa. He taught different yoga enthusiasts, dancers,
actors, and athletes; one of his regular students was the Crown
Princess of Denmark, Mary Donaldson.


 


In Paris in 2002, Kranti attended a workshop with Richard
Freeman. He was deeply inspired by Richard’s versatile and open
approach to yoga and yoga philosophy, and the following year he
traveled to Boulder, Colorado, for Richard’s one-month intensive
teacher training. This experience further deepened his
understanding of the Ashtanga method, meditation, and philosophy.


 


In 2004, he attended a course in Yoga Therapy at the Yoga
Biomedical Trust of London, England. He worked with students
with heart disease and was moved by the powerful healing aspect
of yoga as a complementary alternative therapy.


 


 


Since 2005, Kranti has routinely studied in Mysore, India, under
the guidance of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and his grandson Sharath
Jois. He received Authorization Level 1 to teach Ashtanga Yoga
from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in 2008, and on July 5th,
2010, Kranti received Level 2 Authorization.


 


In 2012, Kranti was Certified by the K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga
Institute (KPJAYI) – the only official institute in the world
able to certify students to teach the traditional Ashtanga Yoga
method by the Jois family.


 


Kranti & Gabriele Severini, who teaches in Rome, are the
only two certified teachers from Italy. As of 2012, only 38
certified teachers were recognised globally by KPJAYI.


 


Kranti is also a registered teacher with the Yoga
Alliance (RYT and E-RYT 500 hours), and he completed the Yin
Yoga Teacher Training with Sarah Powers.


 


Through his teachings, Kranti will help you tap into your own
true, unique potential.



“In addition to Yoga studies, Kranti has trained and self-studied
‘Life Coaching,’ NLP, Body Language and psychology, incorporating
aspects of these fields in his daily teaching and private
lessons.”
