MOUNT Isa will be graced with the presence of internationally-renowned yoga teacher Rabindra Sahu next month, when he arrives to teach a special yoga workshop.

Working with Mount Isa's leading yoga expert, Janine O'Sullivan, from Yoga with Janine, Mr Sahu will deliver the essential principles and practices of yoga, drawn from the ancient wisdom of yoga scriptures and proponents.

``For the aspiring and experienced students, this workshop intends to present three important aspects of yoga and meditation in a spiritually inspiring context, the aspects being meditation, breathing and postures,'' Mr Sahu said.

The workshop has been developed to teach students how to improve bodily health and sense of inner well-being, and encourages students to incorporate the skills into their daily lives.

Techniques including breathing and relaxation will be taught during the workshop, to assist in boosting stamina, flexibility and energy, as well as helping students to gain clarity of thought and peace of mind.

Mr Sahu has been practicing yoga for more than 10 years, and after leaving the corporate world behind now travels the world sharing his knowledge.

``I was teaching in a skewed manner until last year when I quit my corporate job and took yoga teaching full time,'' he said.

``The journey has been rewarding so far.''

Mr Sahu said the biggest lesson he has learnt throughout his journey of yoga teachings has been one of self-discovery.
