The Dream Team

Physiotherapy, Manual therapy, Sports physiotherapy and Rehabilitation.

Nik graduated in his home country of Switzerland 🇨🇭 in 2001. He has vast experience in treating professional, international athletes. He is an expert in manipulation, dissecting functional movements, retraining them and build them back together (for everyday life, as well as for sports enthusiasts and pro athletes).

He combines this with a focus on patient education and self-management in the fervent belief that if the patient understands the nature and mechanical root of their problem, the path to recovery is clear. Armed with self-mobilisation or, as Nik says, “trouble shooting and bullet proofing techniques” patients maintain and enhance the benefits of their sessions and therefore come full circle from injury or pain to normal daily function or sports activity and prevention. 🏋️

He is a committed sportsman, trains regularly in Calisthenics and Cross Fit and practices what he preaches, applying his own self-treatment techniques daily.

His main areas of expertise include musculoskeletal dysfunctions, manual therapy, sports physiotherapy, treatment of chronic/acute neck and low back pain, chronic pain (whiplash, CRPS, RSI such as tendinitis and misuse injuries), dysfunctions of the peripheral nervous system and postoperative rehabilitation.

Govind Das is the Director of Wellness at The Frequency Lab of Heal Hub. He is a Life Designer and Consciousness Coach who espouses and seamlessly integrates both the material and the spiritual aspects of life. As an MBA from a premium business school, he spent more than two decades in the Corporate world with some large global organizations like Ingram Micro, Huawei etc. As a deeply spiritual person he observed that the way the structures of the personal and professional world were operating was highly detrimental to the progress of humanity. Health was declining, relationships were floundering, mental health challenges were increasing and the overall quality of human life was far from ideal. A lot of manipulative forces had built treacherous systems with deep conditioning to purposely keep larger mankind in ignorance. Most of the life’s key lessons like ‘what is the purpose of life’, ‘how to handle failure’, ‘how to manage emotions’ were not taught in school and neither by our society. Domestic conflicts in humanity eventually cascades in to global conflict.

Govind made it his mission to teach enough people these laws and formulas so that they can apply it and elevate their lives. And to make this vision come true he gave up on his successful corporate career to fully commit himself to serving humanity through this transition. He believes the vision of elevating global consciousness is largely possible through work at the mindset and energy level where the change is more evident and sustainable. He uses a combination of Mindset Reprogramming, Meditation, Breathwork, Energy healing through Sound, Light and other frequency based modalities to help his clients become the best version of themselves. He is a Certified Hypnotherapist, Meditation Teacher, Light Healer, Reiki Master, Mindvalley Holobody Coach amongst others. He facilitates sessions for Corporates where he coaches them to achieve the ideal work life balance while teaching them methods and practices to manage the high stress of competitive environments. A Happy employee is a productive employee and his mission is to create more happy and peaceful people on this planet.

Why is this mission so important?

Most people have bought into the Eat Sleep Drink Entertainment cycle and think that is all there is to Life. However Life is much more and there are higher and deeper mystical states to access. Only if people are made aware of the structure of life will they know how to better their lives. It’s like being thrown into a game of tennis and given no exit option but to play the game and you can exit only if you win the game. You can choose not to learn the rules of the game, get tossed around and thrashed badly or you can master the rules and play to win. Life is like this game of tennis. But until you know what its rules are, how will you master it? Govind teaches his clients through one-on-one sessions or group workshops on what he describes as ‘The Life Framework’ – a framework that encompasses all critical functions of human life along with the laws that govern it with a special focus on mental health. He claims from his experience that once these laws and frameworks are understood and assimilated into one’s life, one needn’t visit a therapist ever again as one has all the tools to deal with life and design it the way they deem fit. Once these laws are mastered one can get into the Flow state and live a truly fulfilled life.

As the Director of Wellness at The Frequency Lab, the Biohacking center of Heal Hub, Govind and his team offer clients various non invasive therapies for relaxation, recovery and rejuvenation. The therapies are focused on Auto immune, Mental Health, Pain Management, Cancer therapy, fertility and Anti-aging.

Gaurav Rathaur  – Sc Yoga Science (E-RYT 200)

Gaurav was born in Rishikesh, India and spent his childhood living nearby the ashram of the great Yogi Baba Shri Neem Karoli Ji Maharaj. From an early age he got exposed to the world of yoga practices and embarked on finding his truth through this path.

Gaurav had no plans to pursue a yoga career, but as it is usually said, life always gives you what is best for you. After failing in his dream to serve his country as a lieutenant, he decided to continue with his postgraduate studies. He decided to apply for Geology and Yoga Science studies at the same time. He got admitted in both schools, but he decided to go with Yoga science, and this is how it all started.

Gaurav earned his master’s degree in Yogic Science from the University of Patanjali, founded by Swami Ramdev and Acharya Balkirshna and is a member of the association of Indian universities. Coming from a very humble family with both parents having no school education, he feels proud of his roots and his family’s continuous encouragement to him and his brothers to study and excel in life. Due to his life story, Gaurav is dreaming of the day that he will open his own school in India, providing financially challenged but gifted children with the right to a proper education and a bright future full of opportunities.

Upon completion of his Master, he participated in various yoga workshops with many renowned yoga schools in Rishikesh, the birthplace of Yoga. He enriched his knowledge while studying ancient yogic scriptures and practicing meditation under the guidelines of many scholars and later completed his 200hours Yoga Teachers’ Training Course in his birthplace.

In January 2021 with just one small carry-on luggage and his yoga mat, he landed in Dubai and started a successful personal and professional life journey, getting to know people with different cultural backgrounds and trying to adjust his yoga skills to the new environment.

Gaurav’s core strengths are deconstructed flows for complex yoga poses to small parts that helps students to practice and achieve it with more ease. He has his own signature style that makes students achieve flexibility, strength, and balance with much ease on and off the mat. Watching students going through fear, challenges, difficulties and overcoming it to achieve what they manifested for this is what Gaurav lives for. Many of his students have gone on to become advanced practitioners and successful teachers.

Gaurav is having vivid dreams of success and of making a change in this world by providing clear proofs of numerous life changing possibilities through positive thinking and dedication to yoga practice inside and outside the yoga studio.

His life moto is “if your dreams don’t scare you, they are not big enough. So, dream as big as you can”.

 

Practice with Gaurav

Currently based in Dubai, Gaurav is serving at Inspire Yoga and Fitness Studio. You can practice with him at the studio or from the comfort of your home with a home private facility. You can choose his signature classes to gain flexibility, strength and balance or choose the traditional old school Hatha or Vinyasa. Here is what he offers:

1. Ashtanga Fundamentals: A deconstructed practice for Ashtanga Primary series, where we focus to understand the primary series in a much simpler way. Here we practice complex postures with much ease. The practice is designed for practitioners who want to achieve all those transitions, postures that seem to be difficult to reach. For example, jump through and Jump backs. Here we not only practice, but we also understand the methodologies and right techniques to practice.
2. Ashtanga Primary Led: Traditional primary series practice with guidence for each posture. Ashtanga led primary series is focused on detoxing the body by Asana practice. This is a 75-90 minutes class that allows you to move, hold and breath in a set sequence.
3. Deep Stretch: a class designed for all levels of practitioners. This class is based on fundamentals of Hatha yoga. Ideal for all, but mostly for those who don’t like to flow and prefer slow-paced classes, focusing on specific areas and muscles of the body on each class.
4. Flexibility Flow: This class comes with a flow that allows practitioners to move in a sequence where the flow raises the body temperature and helps muscles stretch easier. In this class we focus on specific parts of the body each day, i.e. one day the flow can be on hip opening and another day on another part of the body. One of his most popular classes.
5. Vinyasa Flow: The classic vinyasa flow with his own unique style that combines stretching and strengthening of muscles at the same time. Flow can be strong sometimes but it is worth practicing. A class that demands full effort.
6. Slow and Strong: The class focuses mostly on strength with a nice slow and gentle flow. The class seems to be slow but will require the students to give their best on the mat.
7. Hatha Yoga: The traditional Hatha yoga practice with Pranyama and philosophy. Hatha yoga is the most traditional yoga practice. Practice is ideal for one who is looking to start yoga journey at the same time suitable for one who is practicing for ages. This practice allows you to hold the postures for long time with proper alignment.
8. Core, strength and stretch: This is a reflection of Gaurav’s own practice for arm balance and Handstands. He has designed this practice to help everyone making arm balance journey easy and amazing at the same time. This practice is designed in a way that here we work on core, strength and stretch of the specific muscles around the upper body.
9. Yin and Restorative: This is not a normal Yin practice. This is a passive stretch practice that comes with some specific breathing techniques. Here we perform some traditional yoga practices that compliments this class such as Trataka, Chanting and meditation.
