Kumar Pallana
Acrobatic Entertainer . Actor . Yogi . Friend
A Life of Mastery
Kumar Pallana was born in 1918 in a small village outside of Bombay, India. He began practicing yoga around 1924 and started his acrobatic training at age 6. By 13, he was known as the "master of the handstands" and went on to become one of the top acrobats and performers in the world.
His extraordinary abilities caught the attention of Hollywood, leading to memorable appearances in shows like "You Asked for It", "Captain Kangaroo", "The Mickey Mouse Club" and films by directors like Wes Anderson ("Rushmore," "The Royal Tenenbaums," "The Darjeeling Limited") and Steven Spielberg ("The Terminal").
But beyond his film career, Kumar dedicated his life to teaching. He developed a systematic approach to handstands and inversions that made these challenging poses accessible to everyone, regardless of age or experience.

Doing Your Best
Kumar believed that it didn't matter if you are the "last one in your class", or "the smallest" as long as you do your very best in everything you do.
Love What You Do
He used to say that you must do everything with love, otherwise if you didn't love it you were in the wrong field and would never excel at it.
