From Assam, India, Bhaskar Goswami [M.Eng. (Hons.)] has been deeply involved with the practice of yoga since the early 90’s. He is a certified teacher of traditional hatha yoga and a specialist in employing the principles of yoga for the modern lifestyle.

Born into the yogic tradition, he comes from the lineage of Vasishtha, who is considered to be one of the founding fathers of this ancient practice. Bhaskar has been trained at the Transcendental Meditation school of Assam in India, on Vipassana Meditation as taught by S.N.

He has a Masters degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Nottingham in England and a 10 year international engineering career in petroleum, telecom, audio, acoustic and microelectronics industries.

For this, he won the Quebec Entrepreneurship Contest and Accolade for Recognizing Business Excellence, both for ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’.
