Eclipse is a disruptive wellbeing hub that puts at the center stage embodiment & insight with a core focus on human potential & transformation. We engage in practices & offerings encompassing body, mind & spirit
Eclipse as a disruptive wellbeing hub is a fusion of ancient esoteric practices and wisdom with modern progressive knowledge and science set to ignite a powerful mind – body – soul alignment. Placing Embodiment and Insight at the core, Eclipse steers the waters in our conventional perspective & focuses our perception on love for the journey of life, ultimate self and the realization of our true potential. All of us are faced with the polarity of light & darkness; and all of us strive to embed only light in our existence; embracing the contrast of both light & darkness however, is at the core of any human development, evolution & resilience. Shifting the perspective involves appreciating that life is a game of infinite choices, it is about creating our world consciously, reconnecting with our intuitive nature & embracing circumstantial contrasts. Fusing authentic somatic & mindfulness practices, Eclipse invites us to embark on the exciting journey of accessing our thriving nature & celebrating our unique personality.

On the banks of Narmada he received divine Diksha of Shri Krishna & got the esoteric Vidya of Vedas & Gita in a mystic manner. Â He traversed most of India with his master at a very young age & got versed into various Indian Vedic scriptures. At the age of 10 he was sent to Nainital for his elementary education & later on received his university education from Pune & Varanasi.

He was also fascinated by the mystical aspects of philosophy & therefore was trained under the mystic Kashmir Shaivite Pt. Kamlakar Mishra of Varanasi. As a result, Swami Vishweshwaranand started teaching at Shri Kalyanika Himalaya Devasthanam & has been a key leader in various institutions of the Matha, nestled in the Himalayas. Known as a natural scholar, the Swami has edited various journals & books; he has played a vital role in structuring ancient texts.

Karthik was born & brought up in Channai, South India, where yoga is practiced in its most authentic forms. Though Karthik started his career as an artist, he soon drifted to the path of yoga motivated by his genuine love for the practice; he spent years under the guidance of 4 different teachers & different styles at different times. Karthik is a firm believer that ‘Knowledge should come from different sources. If it came from the same source, it would become stiff & stale’. He started his training by learning the integral style of yoga from his first teacher for many years, and got the opportunity to practice Ashtanga Yoga under the guidance of Sri Sharath Jois in Mysore & Sri. Ravi and Sri Srimathi in Chennai, India. Karthik not only practices the asana (posture) part of yoga but also pranayama (Breath) and dharana (concentration). He is certified from Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Meenakshi Ashram, Madurai. Later on, at the beginning of 2018, he graduated in Advanced Teacher Training certification, learning Vinyasa Krama as taught by the revered Sri. Srivatsa Ramaswami, the more than 30 year student of Sri Krishnamacharya, renowned for the purity of his teaching. Karthik believes that “the strength of a teacher is not in his teaching but in the willingness to be a student himself.” He loves to pass on the knowledge that has gathered along his journey in the path of yoga & continues to be a student at the same time. He is deeply interested in Ayurveda and in his class he integrates the two ancient traditions into one. Faithful to the traditional styles of Yoga, Karthik conducts Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Krama & Ashtanga Led (Primary Series) sessions at Eclipse, inspiring with his style all practitioners to do the extra mile.
Paola was born in Italy, where she spent the early years of her life; her inquisitive spirit soon prompted her to leave her birthplace and start travelling in a soul searching journey around the world. A natural wanderer and world explorer, a lover of nature and healthy life, Paola felt that Asia resonated better with her soul. And so she decided to travel around the continent, visiting many countries and faraway places until she settled down in Thailand, the country which conquered her heart. During her three-year stay there, the passion for holistic matters bloomed and prompted her to study and practice Thai Traditional Massage, Foot Reflexology, Reiki and to move into her first steps as a “SADHAKA” (“spiritually adept”). Yoga was the platform that brought her many times to India, where she earned her RYS 200+100 Yoga Alliance Certifcation specializing in Hatha, Vinyasa, Power, Yin Yoga and Aerial Yoga with more than 2,000 hours of teaching. On top of Yoga, Paola is a gymnastics coach, certified by the Italian Gymnastics Federation, a Pilates Mat teacher (certified by the Federazione Italiana Fitness), and a Swing Yoga instructor (certified by Body Fly International Academy). Paola has been living in Dubai for the past 5 years, where she engages in sharing the power of those disciplines – Gymnastics and Yoga – in diverse institutions including schools. Her love for the practices registers with her students with whom she explores a Holistic approach to practice. Her goal is to help people express themselves through the conscious use of their bodies, and to reconnect with their real souls. Her classes at Eclipse bring different elements from all her skills as a trainer, challenging the students to go beyond their natural and mental limitations, with sequences inspired by gymnastics, which test their abilities in strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination. Suited for intermediate to advanced practitioners, Paola’s sessions offer a sense of focus and accomplishment mental & physical, while tantalizing the senses with her choice of sounds and incenses.
Veronica, a traveler by nature, was born in Italy, lived in the UK, and landed to Dubai a year ago. Being a dancer since her childhood years, she fell in love with dynamic movement early on in life. She continued her practice alongside her academics in Communication Science & International Relations in Milan. Progressively Veronica developed a profound interest in spiritual matters & holistic treatments that led her to become firstly a Reiki Practitioner, then a Reflexologist, and further down the line a Pilates and Yoga teacher. These explorations & studies brought her personal growth to the next level, and sparkled the desire within her to share this passion with other people. Fascinated by the clarity and lightness of Pilates as a practice, which helped her discover the strength and potential in her body, she cultivated a deep appreciation for mindful movement and eagerly began her teacher training through STOTT Pilates in London, followed by a Pre-Post Natal qualification and her 200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training. Veronica aims to spread the wealth of knowledge that Pilates & other mindful practices can offer in an upbeat and personal atmosphere, and help her students be more present & conscious of the powerful connection between body and mind, not just during the practice, but also during their daily life. Warmly welcoming people from all walks of life, at all stages of their journey, her classes are focused on hands on assisting, adjustment, conscious breathing and attention to details. She strongly believes that this versatile practice can transform any aspect of our life, as it has done so for her own.

Aerial yoga is a contemporary fitness-based yoga system that is based on the principle of counteracting gravity by practicing traditional yoga poses suspended mid-air with the help of hammocks. It includes yoga postures that can be performed mid-air more easily and with less strain on the body. Aerial yoga practice is a combination of movements between Yoga, Pilates and Gymnastics aiming at building strength and coordination necessary to perform more challenging positions. The body will be led through small preparatory movements for more difficult positions and asanas, like inversions, back bending and flips. It is a delightful practice that offers a new perspective of oneself upside down, defying gravity. Aerial Yoga particularly beneficial for students who have back pain because it has a decompressing effect on the body.
It is ideal for strengthening and stretching the whole body, decompressing the spine, improving circulation, boosting digestion, and lifting one’s mood.
Yoga practice has multiple styles & levels – Hatha Yoga is always a great practice to start with. Friendly for first -time practitioners & foundational in nature, it serves as an entry point to establishing affinity with the discipline & developing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Yoga is a strong antidote to many health issues, physical and mental conditions experienced by the majority of the population today across the globe. Yoga reduces stress and anxiety, improves stamina, mobility and range of motion, improves flexibility and tones the body muscles. It is also a powerful practice when it comes to preventing or addressing lifestyle diseases like diabetes, thyroid & weight gain. On the preventive level it boosts the immune system, supports better sleep, and relaxation & hence helps increase productivity. It also has purification benefits, being fundamental in eliminating unwanted toxins from the body. It has restorative effects and is conducive to relieving chronic pain. Yoga also has an important role in increasing lung capacity and overall respiratory system health.
Pilates is a type of mind-body exercise developed in the early 20th century by the German physical trainer Joseph Pilates. Pilates improves flexibility, builds strength, and develops control and endurance in the entire body. Pilates puts emphasis on alignment, breathing, developing a strong core, and improving coordination and balance. The “core”, consisting of the muscles of the abdomen, low back, and hips, called the “powerhouse”, it is thought to be the key to a person’s stability.
Pilates’ system allows for different exercises to be modified in range of difficulty from beginner to advanced or to any other level, and also in terms of the instructor and practitioner’s specific goals and/or limitations. Intensity can be increased over time as the body adapts itself to the exercises.
Barre is a toning, body-weight-lifting workout that engages muscles one wouldn’t normally target, with high-reps and low-impact movements—no ballet experience required. The practice focuses on the lower body, but also on toning the arms and strengthening the core. Barre also includes planks, push-ups, bicep curls and balance exercises. The body will be working more efficiently to build core strength.
Barre comes in handy if one has a desk job that keeps him/her hunched over most of the day helping to improve the posture too.
