Persian Meel – the father of all clubs.
Discover how multiplanar dynamic resistance training, or circular strength training, can benefit your shoulder health, grip and core strength and coordination. Become a more fluid and stronger mover and experience movement meditation while swinging Persian Meel.
The Persian Meel has to be the best designed club I have ever come across.

Indian clubs teacher
The Shena board is a simple but powerful tool to unlock the full potential of push-ups.
It enables a greater variety of push-ups to create dynamic movement flows for full body strength conditioning. Whereas the Persian Meel target the shoulders, the Shena targets and releases tremendous hip strength and mobility.
It is easily the most challenging practice, but the mobility that the Shena brings is liberating.

Sang – the ultimate functional strength building tool to develop extraordinary core and grip strength and coordination.
The kinetic linkage, coordination, alignment and strength to push from the core out to your grip is a key factor in strength sports, martial-arts and for preventing back-pain from activities of daily living.
I have been using Meel and Shena to train and since introducing Sang into the mix I have gained a new level of strength in movement. Persian Yoga has been an invaluable practice that has helped my martial arts by increasing my flexibility and strength in movement.

Highly recommend dr khashayar . I had a long term problem that has bothered me for months and within 5 sessions my pain was relieved. He really cares about the heath of his patients 10/10 service .
Excellent Chiropractor.. Very experienced and meticulous when it comes to your rehabilitation! Feeling the difference just after a couple sessions. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to fix their back and strengthen their core.
Persian Yoga (also known as varzesh-e pahlavani-e bastani) brings together exercise and ancient history. Every movement is a harmony of strength, flexibility, and motion, expressed through music. It’s roots date back thousands of years. Kashi is very knowledgeable and an excellent instructor. He’s a great communicator and provided useful feedback for me as I learned this unique approach to physical conditioning. He’s very supportive and is a fantastic guide on your personal journey of training and growth. I can’t express how rare it is to find a teacher like him.
Have been seeing Dr Kashi for about 7 months now and have had the most successful progress on my journey to recovering from injury after trying other avenues. Incredibly knowledgeable and relates it so you understand and have input to work together for the best results. Now working on strength and conditioning, his passion for his Persian Yoga and the wealth he brings with it shows. Learning this has felt very different to any other exercises I’ve done and works the mind as much as the body. Only a beginner but it’s exciting to learn and practice this ancient art. Need any adjustments or just want to learn a proven way to increase strength and mobility you won’t find better.
I visited Khashi because of a shoulder pain I’ve been dealing with for over a year. The pain is gone after 3 sessions and thanks to Khashi I understood the cause, recovery and strengthening required to look after it. Also love the strengthening Persian yoga exercises, it’s been a great opportunity to tap into this ancient wisdom.
Awesome chiropractor along with his Persian Yoga training system helped me with chronic pain. I recommend the clinic and the training highly if you want to get strong and flexible.
Persian Yoga and Kashi’s high standard of teaching has helped me a lot! Practicing under his guidance has offered me more flexibility, strength, stamina and endurance. The regular coaching sessions I have with him keep me motivated and his feedback is in invaluable! I look forward to continue to explore Persian Yoga under his supervision. Many Thanks!
From strength man attains truth.
From weakness stems crookedness and lowliness.
