“1 x Feroze class = balance restored and ready to fight.”

Ich durfte bei Feroze Khan nicht nur Lektionen besuchen, sondern auch je einen Workshop in Zürich und Basel. Nicht umsonst wird er als der Lieblings-Schüler von Bikram Choudhury bezeichnet. Geboren in Pune in Indien lernte er auf einer Reise nach New York Bikram Yoga kennen. Es war die Neugierde, die ihn trieb. Er sollte dieser Yogaart treu bleiben; von Anfang an war er gefesselt. Dass ein Knie heilte, war ein schöner Nebeneffekt. 2001 absolvierte er in Los Angeles bei Bikram das Teacher Training.

Sein Leben widmete er nun ganz dem Bikramyoga. Er eröffnete sein erstes Studio in San Francisco. 2010 heiratete er in Deutschland und zog nach Europa. Seither hat er mehrere Studios eröffnet, etwa in Frankfurt, Antwerpen und zwei in Brüssel. Er unterrichtet nicht nur in der ganzen Welt (wie in Phuket, in Madrid, in Moskau oder in den eigenen Studios), sondern er gibt auch Workshops, die sehr beliebt sind. Wie sagte es doch kürzlich eine Schülerin: “1 x Feroze class = balance restored and ready to fight.”

“1 x Feroze class = balance restored and ready to fight.”

Feroze Khan, the teacher was born in Pune, India where he spent his early years. On a trip to New York he came across a Bikram Yoga center and out of curiosity went in to see what it was all about. The experience was unique and helped to heal his damaged knee. Due to this, he decided to become a Bikram Yoga teacher. After initial lessons in New York he moved to Los Angeles to learn the art and science of Yoga directly under Bikram Choudhury. He graduated in 2001.

Feroze has not looked back or regretted his decision to devote his life to the practice and teaching of Bikram Yoga. Having graduated from Bikram’s school as a licensed teacher he opened his first Bikram Yoga studio in San Francisco. Marriage in Germany in 2010 made him move to Europe and since then he’s relentlessly worked towards opening studios in various European countries – such as Frankfurt, Antwerp and Brussel. He does not only teach all over the world (like in Pukhet, Madrid, Moscow and in his own studios) but also give workshops. How said it a student recently: “1 x Feroze class = balance restored and ready to fight.” Given his popularity, expertise and very down to earth attitude it is not a surprise that his guru, Bikram Choudhury, considers Feroze to be his favourite disciple and teacher.
