After retiring from his 38 year dedicated service at the age of 70, Suresh embraced yoga passionately, promoting Ayurvedic principles for good health through his foundation. He operates Udaipur's oldest yoga center and aims to bring yoga to the masses, making it integral to people's lives.

Suresh Paliwal is the Chief Yoga Trainer at Yog Seva Samiti, Udaipur. He is also the CEO of the Sukrupa Foundation. He holds an MA, PG Diploma in Yoga, DLL, and LLB and is an internationally certified yoga teacher by Yoga Alliance International.

Raised in a small village in Bhilwara district, he fondly reminisces about playing traditional games with friends in his childhood, activities that are now rare among today's children. His education took place in his village itself, and he graduated from MLSU, Udaipur, in 1974. Following that, he commenced his career as a stenographer at Rajasthan State Mines and Minerals Limited in 1975, retiring after 38 years of dedicated service.

Post-retirement, Suresh pursued yoga passionately, working to raise awareness with the motto "Karo Yog, Raho Nirog." His foundation spreads awareness about the environment, wellness, art and craft, and yoga, particularly among school kids. They advocate for limited mobile usage and discourage keeping phones close while sleeping. Operating the oldest yoga center in Udaipur, their goal is to bring yoga to the masses and make it an integral part of people's lives.

Suresh elaborates on the eight steps of yoga as described by Maharishi Patanjali, including Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi. He underscores the five Koshas—Annamaya Kosha, Pranamaya Kosha, Manomaya Kosha, Vijnanamaya Kosha, and Anandamaya Kosha—constituting our body and the five elements—water, earth, air, space, and fire—that form the universe. These elements are represented on our five fingers, and an imbalance between them affects our health. Ayurveda stresses the importance of maintaining a balance between Kapha, Pitta, and Vata for overall well-being.

He acknowledges the efficacy of allopathic treatments for fractures and accidents but advocates yoga for a disease-free life as a preventive measure. Quoting the shloka, “Yogah Karmasu Kaushalam” (excellence in action is yoga), he marvels at the intricacies of the human body, composed of ‘nadis’ and cells. He discusses major nerves like ida, pingala, and sushumna, along with the seven chakras—Muladhara, Svadhisthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddha, Ajna, and Sahasrara. He also talks about cosmic energy, which is a spiritual energy, or prana; the life force without which our lives are impossible.

Suresh advises consistent yoga practice, initially seeking guidance from an expert, progressing to individual practice, and sharing knowledge with others. He praises the growing global trend of embracing yoga, which is positively transforming lives.

Suresh says, without struggle, there is no success. He too had many challenges in his life. He shares that he used to play basketball at his university, but after retirement, he does not have that much energy to continue such games. So, he embraced yoga that can be practiced by a 5-year-old kid to a 99-year-old adult.

Lastly, he urges all to embrace yoga and experience the positive change that it brings to our lives.
