Ranjit Deora

Local yogi goes corporate

Ranjit Deora is not a typical yoga instructor.

There are no yoga mats. There are no downward-facing dogs. Rather, Deora's students, clad in business suits and skirts, often sit not in front of a mirror posing but at conference tables.

With his Corporate Wellness program, Deora, helps executives at Bank of America find Zen without loosening their ties. Deora, who began meditating at fourteen, insists that his program blends seamlessly with the typically straight-laced corporate boardroom environment. "

Ranjit teaches meditation as a way of life, not just as a practice.

He has educated many professionals and businesses on the use of yoga therapy to boost productivity and manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression and sleep disorders.

Ranjit has been profiled in Charlotte Magazine, interviewed on WBT and featured in The Charlotte Observer.
