On this episode of When Harry Met Daphne we interviewed Dr. Hiteshini (Hitu) Jugessur, a rare combination of committed scientist, social activist, teacher of yoga & meditation, and President of Art of Living Canada. Early on in her profession she chose to abandon comfort and prestige to dedicate herself to humanitarian service with an aim of bringing comfort, solace and healing to those in need.  With her Ph.D. in Surgical Research from McGill University and a keen interest in meditation & yoga, she pursued an interest in alternative forms of healing.  Dr. Jugessur was particularly drawn to the powerful techniques offered by the Art of Living. She has since become an acclaimed international teacher for the Art of Living Foundation.

Dr. Jugessur brings over 20 years of experience with meditation/yoga/mindfulness programs and has taught global leaders, government officials, veterans, healthcare professionals & more. She brings her strong yet calm presence to aid with peace-building & conflict resolution in war zones. Her passion as a yogi is palpable in her classes & her commitment to serving the world is an inspiration to those who connect with her.
