One single magical moment changed how I looked at Yoga

Yoga was introduced to me in school when I was a child. It made me wonder, how my Yoga teachers do headstands and complicated Asanas?! At that innocent age, it was more play and less practice as we had a patient and lenient teacher.

It was during my job at a health club, where I reunited with Yoga. I gradually began enjoying my time on the mat and became consistent and regular with yogic practice.

In one class, there was a magical moment that changed the way I looked at Yoga.

During shavasana, something amazing happened. I felt a deep connection with myself like never before. Eventually, I had more than a few similar deeply connected experiences, and I had many questions! This led me to a Yoga teacher's training program. I had no intentions of teaching, all I wanted was to obtain answers to why, how, where and what?

I am blessed to have attended a residential yoga course with SVYASA, which opened my mind. I learned and received more information than just the questions I seeked answers for, a lot of my actions and reactions started to make sense.

I was able to implement it in my daily life - Yoga became an inseparable part of my life .

While I continued to explore the different styles of Yoga, I was introduced to Aayana by a friend, where I enrolled in a TTC 200 hours course under the guidance of Mrinali and Regeesh. This experience enhanced my Yoga practice and teaching skills.

Learning has no end and I believe I'm learning everyday through my students and gurus.

Yoga to me is a science of holistic living and it has made me believe that change is a universal truth.

I hope to connect with as many people as I can, to guide them get closer to their goals!
