Pranoga

Aditya (pronounced aa-di-tya), Founder and Director of Pranoga, is an Indian-born Yogi. Aditya is fondly called by his students as "Adi." A software business owner and a former executive with a hi-tech company, he has now turned his focus to help others live happier, healthier lives. Adi founded Pranoga in mid 2009, and has taught thousands of students since then. Taking a sincere approach to affect both body and mind, he guides his students to reflect inwards and use their own inner strength to deal with all that life has to offer.

Adi obtained his Yoga Teacher certification from the world-renowned International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center in upstate New York, one of the many ashrams and centers worldwide. He also studied in India with the Art of Living Foundation, Yoga Vidya Pranic Healing Foundation, and the Indian Heritage Society.

Adi's mission is to help people understand how the body and mind work together, and how important it is to stay healthy. Affected in the past by work-related stress, he strives to encourage his students to live in the present moment and constantly be aware of how their bodies and minds are functioning.

Yoga has been an essential part of Adriana's life for over 17 years. Her practice and study of Yoga philosophy have helped her understand her whole existence as a soul, in a deeper, more beautiful way. Yoga helped her grow stronger, more flexible, fearless, balanced and peaceful: on and off the mat. As a young mom of two children, Yoga inspires her to live life to its fullest, which is the main reason she is devoted to sharing this practice. Adriana served many teachers for nine years as an apprentice in Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Iyengar before she completed her 200 hours and 300 hours as a Sampoorna Yoga Teacher, immersed at the Yogi Hari Ashram. Additionally, she completed certification for kids and teenagers with Karma Kids and also completed the MBSR Mindfulness program at the University of Miami. She is a perpetual student of Integral Yoga and aspires to be a lifelong Yoga practitioner! She is deeply grateful for every opportunity that comes her way to share the tools of Yoga that she has been learning from her Teachers and Gurus.

Adriana's classes are conducted from the heart, they are intuitive, and she always considers each group’s needs. She loves to combine creative sequencing for both beginners and advanced practitioners by offering variations, based upon understanding the benefits of each posture while respecting body, mind, and each process. Pranayama is an important part of her instructions with a dose of inspiration to help her students deepen their practice. Her intention is to inspire others to thrive in life discovering their true free selves. By awaking and healing the physical body, listening and calming the mind, and allowing to identify yourself with the soul. She wishes you to shine as your journey through your own path. Her hope is to kindly help, planting seeds of love and compassion to make a better world one breath at a time, one person at a time, one class at a time!

Veronica began doing Yoga on and off as a means to reduce stress and exercise. Little did she know that every time she practiced, she was presented with a different part of herself and it was empowering. To her, Yoga is about coming face to face with your inner truth and how you allow it to help you evolve in your practice and off the mat in your daily life. She enjoys teaching and introducing people to something so simple, yet profound, as Yoga.

Veronica received her training as a Vinyasa teacher in 2012 from Yoga Philosophy Inner Balance located in North Miami, under the tutelage of Paul Richardson, Steven Bharatan Herbst, and Nichole. She also received her Yoga Gangsters Outreach & At-Risk Certification in 2013 from 305 Yoga in Miami, under the tutelage of Terri Cooper.
