Indian paints magnate Ashwin Dani, non-executive director of India-listed Asian Paints, passed away in Mumbai on Thursday at age 80 after a brief illness.
It was a slipped disc that took him to Iyengar s classes in Mumbai in 1980. He felt magical improvement when physiotherapy had offered him little relief and became a lifelong follower of Iyengar. With regular practice of Iyengar Yoga, he got 75% relief and never had to see a physiotherapist again.
