Yoga brought me back to life

In 2011, I left my corporate IT job and I began to explore a different kind of life. I tried entrepreneurship, making an NGO, and many other things. After a few experiments, there came a spiral of downtime in my life and I was left broke on many fronts - financially, emotionally, physically. I couldn’t see much light ahead. Thankfully, I had tried exploring spiritually before so I began a few spiritual courses related to yoga.

And I started improving. With this motivation, I decided to do an eleven-day silent meditation course called Vipassana. And that proved to be a boon in my life and my savior. I regained my mental peace, my direction and a hope to keep moving ahead.

It removed me from my bad habits and I started taking care of my physical aspect of being.

Seeing what Yoga had given me, I thought of taking it as a profession. I completed my training and certification in yoga from Sri, Sri School of Yoga. I am an advance Sri Yoga certified professional and QCI Level -2 certified Yoga professional from the government of India.

Like my learning yoga journey, my teaching yoga journey has been a wonderful and blissful experience so far. I have met so many people from across the world, some beginners, some advanced and some real yogis. They each have taught me something about life and my learning continues.

I have healed myself, cleansed myself, transformed myself with Yoga and I want to spread the goodness of yoga as far and wide as I can.
