About Me
I trained at the Bihar School of Yoga in Munger, Bihar, and I am passionate about learning, practising, and teaching yoga that goes beyond just asanas. Following the Satyananda Yoga Tradition, I aim to present yoga in its purest form through simple and scientific methods based on research. I believe that yoga should be a lifestyle, not just a one-hour session on the mat. With this belief, I am on a journey to empower children, youth, and adults to become healthy, strong, compassionate, and confident beings.
Most Recent Work
I feel blessed to have the tools to help many souls in physical, mental, and emotional distress as a yoga instructor. One of my online students from Israel has been learning Satyananda Yoga with me since 2019. During tough times, I have guided her with practices like Kunjal kriya, Jala Neti, Mantra Chanting, Meditation, Yoga Nidra, and Pranayama. Another instance is of a student from Delhi who is a pilot. When COVID hit her family, I tried my best to be emotionally available for her and made sure to meet her in person after a few months. Additionally, I've been blessed to impart yoga sessions to international delegates from 20+ countries during the G-20 Summit and Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas Meet held in Indore in 2023.
