ABOUT SANJEEV
There is more to you than you think. Something in you already knows it. Sanjeev Bhanot has spent more than thirty years helping people find out what that is.
He does not guide. He accompanies. He gives questions, not answers. He holds a space in which people discover what they did not know was there - without claiming authority over what they find. The work is not his. The discovery is always theirs.
What people describe afterwards is consistent across thirty years and thousands of individuals: gentle, subtle and complete. A visible before and after. They do not go back.
SANJEEV’S JOURNEY
Raised in Sri Dungargarh in the desert of Rajasthan, where the newspaper arrived three days late and evenings were lit by storytellers rather than screens, Sanjeev grew up immersed in a tradition that understood the inner life as a science long before modern psychology had language for it. He trained as a naturopath and yoga therapist in Delhi, and has spent the decades since taking that understanding into every context imaginable.
He has worked with UN agencies suc has UNICEF, UNHCR, WHO, UNFCCC, ILO and many more. He has sat with Olympic athletes before competition and with people in prison. He has worked on the set of Eat Pray Love and served as a consultant to the Solar Impulse project in Switzerland. He has taught in television studios, universities, hospitals, and retreat spaces across Europe, Asia, and the United States.
He founded Yogalife International more than twenty-five years ago - a teacher training academy through which he has certified thousands of practitioners across Europe. He is a TEDx speaker. He collaborates in active research with Humboldt University and the Max Planck Institute Berlin, exploring the intersection of yogic philosophy, neuroscience, and mental health.

These days he is completing his first book.
THE APPROACH
What Sanjeev developed across all of this is called Antastha:
from the Sanskrit for the deepest place. It is a rigorous, experiential inner science that integrates thousands of years of yogic wisdom with contemporary neuroscience and somatic research.
Not yoga as exercise. Not therapy. Not coaching. Something more precise: a systematic method for identifying the belief systems, self-imposed limitations, and perception patterns that keep a person from the life they are capable of living. And for dissolving them through direct inner experience rather than intellectual understanding alone.
The transformation it produces is gentle. Subtle. And complete.
