Dear Coach,
You will be pleased to know that I have taken up Yoga on honeymoon! The man
responsible for this is Santosh Karunakaran and he has really transferred his
enthusiasm to his class. He is a Yoga and Yoga Therapy Expert and was wondering
whether his skills would be transferable to London and possibly Queen's? If not QC please
suggest somewhere as he really has an enthusiasm you would appreciate!
The paradise setting certainly helped!
I have cc'd Santosh on this email so any help will be appreciated.
Hope all is well,
CK

Namaste Santhosh,
Thanks for the newsletter.
Nice!
Emmanuelle, Mark and I wanted
to thank you again for your teachings and good spirit in Varkala. It truly made
our stay very special and it put real meaning to 'a healthy body, mind
and spirit". Believe it or not, we managed to continue Yoga every day,
sometimes a good and full session including Pranayama, sometimes only Surya
Namaskar - but everyday.
I also wanted to congratulate on your book. As you said it is basic, but is was
very helpful for us to understand some of the fundamentals without being
overwhelmed by the complexity of Yoga. Particularly, I enjoyed the section on
Pranayama.
Now, I have attached 2 photos for you as a little souvenir. I hope you enjoy
them and we all wish to have more yoga with you either in India or in Australia.
All the best and good luck with your YogaSchool!
Keep us posted!
Best,
Johannes, Emmanuelle and Mark

Dear Santosh,
Lovely to hear from you after
all this time, and happy to learn that you now have your own yoga centre. When
I met you at CocoIsland, I remember you
saying that's something you'd like to do, so congratulations!
You were my favourite yoga
teacher from the 2-month Asia assignment, and
I'd love to come for one of your 2-week courses sometime.
Good luck with your venture
and hope to see you there one day.
Warm regards, Donna

Dear Santosh,
I was the lady whom was in Varkala not so long ago and did 2 classes with you
on a one to one basis. I just wanted to say I have read your book and am really
inspired by the way it is written and the energy that comes from it.
I dont know wether it is possible but I would very much like to buy about 20
from you so as i can give them to the people whom i will hopefully be teaching.
I am not sure wether it is possible but if one doesnt ask one never receives an
answer.
I am at present doing a 10 day yoga course on ashtanga yoga , purely to get an
insight into what kind of practice it is.
After that i am very much looking forward to doing a couple of classes with you
again, as they have been the most spiritual yoga classes i have ever done, and
i cant stop thinking about them .
I hope you are well
Kind regards
Evangeline

Hi Santhosh
Wishing you a very happy,
peaceful and prosperous new year.
I just want to say how much I
enjoyed taking your yoga classes. Your style of teaching is lovely, and one I
will emanate when I begin my career as a Pilates teacher.
Kind regards
Roz
