It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Dr. Mahtani’s aim is to demystify Yoga – both physically and mentally. To her, neither is Yoga about shaping your body into a pretzel or a
jalebi, nor is the mystic air about Yoga necessary. In fact, for her Yoga allows you to take
charge of your own physical and mental well-being. Therefore, to everyone she treats or
teaches, Yoga becomes a lifestyle, an internalised manner of thinking. Her firm belief is
that instead of pushing each person to reach for the perfect aasan or practice, Yoga ought
to be become about a relaxed attitude towards doing one’s best.

Therefore, “Prevent the preventable and manage the inevitable,” is Dr. Renu Mahtani’s
practical and holistic attitude towards arriving at comprehensive treatment plans for her
patients. As a healer in spirit and profession, she founded Param Yoga. She is a practicing
physician in Pune since 1992. She is also an adroit yoga therapist and exemplifies “heal
the mind and the body follows”.

As a doctor of medicine, she was associated with the Intensive Cardiac Care Unit at the
Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune for the first 6 years. She then, set out on her own journey that led
her to holistic healing. She combined her knowledge of medicine with potent, globally
acclaimed, yoga techniques. In her passion to heal, she has the following credentials:
