about life and breath

Life and Breath (LaB) is a transformative program that blends scientific and ancient breathing techniques with meditation and mindfulness to support holistic well-being. Designed to improve both physical and mental health, the course helps individuals reduce stress, gain clarity, and cultivate a deeper sense of balance, purpose, and inner connection.

The program is offered in multiple formats to suit different lifestyles, including a 20-session structured course (online or offline), immersive 5-day camps, a 3-day abridged version for those with time constraints, and a 2-day corporate module focused on stress management and mental wellness.

Through a combination of practical techniques, real-life insights, and guided practices, participants experience improved health, emotional stability, and overall life clarity. Sessions are open to individuals above 18 years of age.

Life and Breath serves as a strong foundation for continued inner growth, leading to advanced programs like Life is Mind Body Spirit (LiMBS) for deeper exploration and sustained transformation.

What the logo means?

It is the rhythm under the skin.
A heart that beats softly within
Every breath subtle and grand
Breath is generic, life’s a brand.
Inhale… the world comes alive
Exhale… and let each life thrive
Both are beating a cosmic drum.
Strings of Life in tune will strum
From a mire the lotus is a sight
Earth supports as Fire will ignite
Water flows and Air takes flight
Space enveloped in Divine light
Deep meditation a gentle caress
Waiting forever for Him to bless
Soul is energy the body a dress
Harmonic ECG of consciousness.

Life and Breath are never apart .
Life’s rhythm etched in the heart.

The Founder

Mr. Pravin Manker

Mr. Pravin Manker, founder-trustee of Pratibimb Charitable Trust, is known for his unique blend of scientific reasoning and spiritual depth. With a strong academic background in pharmacy from Bombay University and additional qualifications including DCM, DBM (IMC), and DMS, he has built an extensive career across the pharmaceutical industry spanning manufacturing, project execution, technical leadership, consultancy, and management education. Notably, he served as Director of the very college from which he graduated, 30 years after receiving his degree.

A firm believer in logic and evidence, his early years were deeply rooted in science. His journey into spirituality began later in life, when an introduction to Brahmavidya gradually transformed his perspective. What began with hesitation evolved into deep conviction, ultimately shaping his path as a guide and mentor.

Over the years, “Pravin Sir,” as he is widely known, has conducted 125+ sessions and guided over 4,000 individuals through the Life and Breath program, helping them improve health, clarity, and inner balance. His approach is grounded, practical, and deeply experiential making complex concepts simple and applicable to everyday life.

A strong advocate of discipline, consistency, and selfless service, he has nurtured Pratibimb into a purpose-driven organization that has positively impacted thousands through both its courses and charitable initiatives.

Beyond his core work, he also explores Vastu Shastra, acupressure, and creative spiritual expression including his unique take on interpreting Bollywood through a spiritual lens.

His journey continues to evolve, inspiring many to explore breath, awareness, and a more conscious way of living.

Testimonials

I was diagnosed with glaucoma in 2018 and joined Pratibimb in 2020. With regular practice and the blessings of Sir and the team, my condition has remained stable since 2021, and even my reading glass number has reduced. I am deeply grateful to Sir, the team, and my fellow practitioners for their prayers and support.

I am a student of Life and Breath and work at Microlabs. After regularly practicing the breathing exercises and attending the 6 a.m. sessions, my thyroid levels have improved significantly, and my doctor has even reduced my medication dosage. I’m deeply grateful to Pravin Sir and the faculty for their dedication.

With six months of regular Life & Breath practice, my BP and arthritis completely resolved. I no longer need BP medication, even during travel, thanks to consistent morning sessions and lifestyle canges.

Participating in the Course in Life & Breath by Pratibimb Charitable Trust has been life-changing — improving my breathing, reducing stress, and helping manage diabetes and cholesterol. The teachers’ free daily sessions are refreshing and grounding, and I’m truly grateful for this program that’s accessible to all.

Two months ago, I suffered from an autoimmune disease, marked by aches and unusual blood counts, including a 5.5 cm cyst. After joining the Life and Breath course, a follow-up blood test showed normalized counts, and the cyst size decreased. The breathing techniques worked where medicines fell short, significantly improving my health. I highly recommend the course to others.

Thank you Pratibimb Charitable Trust for reintroducing me to a fresh breath of life as I journey ahead towards real breathing & living!

The course lay emphasis on the right technique of breathing and its impact on day-to-day life, how the Prana Shakti absorption can help in getting rid of chronic diseases and in the camp itself I became positive.

This residential camp in Bengaluru was God sent for my husband Shailesh and me. Our heartfelt gratitude to our course coordinator , our teacher who explained the most complex concepts with such ease and clarity that they are now etched in our hearts.

Very interesting and not at all a rigmarole. It was very interesting with an intermittent dash of Bollywood songs apt to each and every topic discussed in the class.

I can't describe in words such a marvellous course as "Residential Camp 02". Let it be colleagues, teachers, and everyone cooperates. I will definitely carry forward the teachings from the course so that we can take full advantage.

The experience of the course has widened the vista of my vision to understand life more beautifully. This course has certainly enriched me in terms of my wisdom and understanding and I am quite sure to lead a meaningful life henceforth!

This is my first time. This course is going to have a high impact on my life. This course motivates you and enhances your self-confidence and the positive inner you. I experienced positive changes in these 4 days. I feel blessed to be here.

This camp has completely changed my life. The way I see things is completely different. As a student, I need to manage life, stress, and anxiety because these breathing exercises and meditation are the best ways to manage them.

Five days of intensive residential course had helped me to revise the entire course and clarify all my doubts about the breathing exercises and rectifying a few minor errors that had crept in my practice. I am grateful to the Pratibimb family for a joyful lifetime experience and I bow to being a LIFELONG learner and PRACTITIONER of life and Breath Science.

Right speech, endurance and patience are some of the takeaways for me from this camp. Given the opportunity, I would always like to attend the camp!

“Remarkably, over the past 20 weeks, my health has improved to the extent that I am more mobile than ever before in recent months. I've dispensed with the walking stick that was required to support my body weight. Recent MRI confirms that my painful compression fracture is progressively getting healed and the agonising pain has abated.”

I had planned for the surgical removal of the lump. But Oh! What a miracle. I realised one morning that there's no pain and was shocked. Can't thank enough this course that imparts life's knowledge.

On a recent casual shopping trip I found myself thinking, "while I am spending money on myself, what have I given to the society?" This introspection has come about due to the impact of the course and it has inspired me to do good for the society and others.

“Sincere and diligent practice of all the breathing exercises and mirror exercise is a Life changer, it is a miracle , it is the blessing of the Universe.”

“After following the practices sincerely for four months, I am free of my thyroid pill. I feel more energetic throughout the day”

“All my health issues started vanishing one by one . This course not only works on the physical level but it addresses your mental stress also.”

“What I have lost is anger, frustration, nervousness, giving less importance to materialistic values and what I have gained is better understanding, overall better health, self-discipline to some extent, calmness and no visits to the Doctor in recent years.”

“Most importantly I almost forgot about my asthma and inhalers. I dared to climb Palitana Jain temple (3600 steps) without inhaler.”
