The founders of Chanting Yoga combine a fascinating range of international influences and inspirations spanning the arts, medicine, spirituality and traditional meditation practice.

Dr. JUHI GAUTAM (M.B.B.S., M.R.C.P. & M.R.C.G.P.) has been a practitioner of pranayam and mantra meditation for over 25 years. This central theme in Juhi's life could not be more appropriate as she was born in the ancient spiritual city of Vrindavan. In recent years Juhi has pursued the vision of bringing chanting yoga into the lives of others. The other side to her life is that she qualified as a doctor in Bangalore, India. She then trained as a physician in leading teaching hospitals in Birmingham and London.

During her time of specialist training in cardiology under the guidance of Professor Gareth Beevers (of the British Heart foundation and Blood Pressure Association) and Dr. Richard Carroll (Cardiology), she observed the links between meditation and improved health. Her professional life is now dedicated to work as general practitioner in London.
