Jaspal has been practicing yoga since early childhood. He holds a Ph.D. and is a molecular geneticist and faculty member in the Microbio Molecular Genetics Department at the University of Pittsburgh. Jaspal volunteers his expertise in yoga throughout the Pittsburgh community. He bases his yoga practice on “Ajana Yoga”, a form that focuses on the area between the eyebrows, called the “third eye”. It combines breathing, simple postures and concentration to achieve complete relaxation that leads to inner healing.
