Pooja Tolani - Pooja and Bhavesh's journey is truly inspiring. Their transformation from ambitious students in marketing and software engineering to becoming leading meditation advocates highlights their dedication to personal growth and their desire to bring about positive change in the world.
Having discovered the transformative power of meditation through the Art of Living and Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s teachings in 1999, they were able to incorporate these practices into their own lives, which led them to a deeper sense of purpose. By 2001, they committed themselves fully to sharing these teachings with others, becoming Art of Living Instructors and using their unique skills to blend ancient wisdom with modern-day wellness practices.
Their extensive global experience — from Indian villages to bustling European cities, and across North and Central America — speaks to the universal appeal of the Art of Living teachings. They’ve not only reached thousands of individuals but have also made their mark in diverse settings such as corporate environments, universities, and government institutions, helping people cope with stress and improve overall well-being. Here in Calgary, they spearheaded the hugely successful Yogathon for 6 consecutive years with over 600 yogis rising and stretching for a cause on Stephen Avenue. To bring the most bustling part of the city to a standstill is quite symbolic of the work they do. From Bringing calm to some of the most chaotic groups of people to the most challenging terrains, they’ve done it all.
As trainers of new meditation teachers, Pooja and Bhavesh’s dedication goes beyond simply instructing; they mentor and coach with the goal of creating a ripple effect — nurturing new leaders who can continue spreading peace, mindfulness, and wellness.
Their work goes beyond meditation; it is a transformative force that is changing lives, one breath at a time.
