A Note from Shai, Our Founder

My journey with yoga did not begin in a studio. At the age of 14, I was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumor. While the incredible medical care and surgery I received saved my life, the aftermath left my physical well-being deeply compromised. I had become partially blind. I knew that survival was only the first step; I wanted to truly live again. This determination led me to India, where I had the profound honor of studying under the world-renowned yoga master, B.K.S. Iyengar. Through his guidance, I discovered yoga as a powerful, precise tool for rehabilitation and restoration. To B.K.S. Iyengar, I will be forever grateful. He was a mentor, a visionary, and he turned my life right-side up. His book and methods are foundational and have guided so many yoga teachers. It is difficult to express my gratitude in words; therefore, I have dedicated my life to honor his legacy through my actions.Our goal is to provide you with the same tailor-made rehabilitative care that helped me reclaim my strength. Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing a condition, or seeking to improve your quality of life, we are here to walk that path with you.
With gratitude,
Shai Kaplan, Founder, Anuyoga
