His upbringing in India gave him a sound understanding of the development of Indian philosophy whilst his subsequent scientific training instilled an essential desire to explain the world and seek justification for whatever is asserted. As a yoga teacher, he applies these principles by separating what is non-testable, or downright wrong, from what is measurable, understandable and repeatable; his mantra in class is to question, understand and apply well-directed effort.&#8221; &#8211; Dave Plummer, ex-Head of Medical Imaging, University College London Hospital and Lesley Whitby<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><br \/>\nShiv Sharma has a doctorate in physics from York University and worked for 30 years as a scientist in medical research, with over a dozen patents to his name. He has adapted these scientific research skills to bring about an in-depth understanding of yoga. Shiv has taught yoga for over 30 years, qualifying initially in the Iyengar Yoga system and having been to India a number of times to study under Mr Iyengar himself. For the past 20 years, he has been working on a scientific approach to yoga, refining the principles for this book. He regularly hosts seminars and workshops for yoga teachers in Ireland and Greece.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-623388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shv.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"1038\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yoga De-Mystified: Transformed Theory of Yoga by Shiv Sharma (Author) www.austinmacauley.com &#8220;Shiv Sharma is an inspiring yoga teacher who is also a scientist.
