Member Spotlight: Binu Kurup, 51 | California, USA
“Small, steady steps with the right teacher can lead to lasting well-being.”

Before joining MyYogaTeacher, Binu’s life was a whirlwind of work pressures and family duties, with little time left for herself. As someone navigating a high-stress job and the onset of perimenopause, her health—both physical and emotional—had quietly slipped down her list of priorities.

That all changed in January 2024.

In her search for more than just a yoga class, Binu discovered the heart of our platform: teachers who truly see you. After trying a few sessions, she found her way to Priya Choudhury, Nitisha and Arashdeep—teachers who brought not just expertise but presence, empathy, and real-time, personal guidance.

Among them, Priya became a constant. Whether in group classes or 1:1 sessions, Priya curated each session with a thoughtful blend of structure and creativity. What stood out most? Her memory for each student’s needs—offering quiet modifications for back pain or shoulder issues without missing a beat. “Her classes are intentional, grounded, and alive,” Binu shares.

🧘‍️ The Results?
• A stronger, more flexible body
• A calmer, more balanced mind
• A renewed sense of self-care and consistency
• A deeper respect for yoga as a spiritual practice

Despite business travel and a busy schedule, Binu now makes her practice a priority—not a chore. And in Priya, she found not just a teacher, but a guide rooted in the values that make this practice so powerful.

Binu’s Advice for Others:
“Find a teacher who sees you—your needs, your pace, your potential. You don’t need big leaps. Just small, sincere steps, taken with the right guidance, can change everything.”

Pankaj Soni Can you please elaborate on what you said about balancing the inward/outward breath please?

Hello Everyone!

We love sharing transformation stories from our community and this week, we are sharing Karen’s Journey:)

Meet Karen Vernal, a vibrant 75-year-old from Milwaukee and an inspiring member of our MyYogaTeacher community.

Karen wasn’t dealing with a major injury or illness — but she knew that staying strong, balanced, and flexible was essential as she aged. She was looking for a local class when she stumbled upon MyYogaTeacher online. Curious, she gave it a try — and that small decision sparked a big transformation.

Karen’s Transformation:
• Pre-Yoga: Limited flexibility, difficulty getting up and down from the floor, poor balance, and daily movements (like reaching behind the car seat) becoming harder.
• The Solution: Personalized 1-on-1 yoga sessions with her teacher, Priya Choudhary — focused on gradually improving mobility, strength, and balance at Karen’s pace.
• The Results: Today, Karen can touch her toes, sit cross-legged, balance confidently on one foot, and move more freely than she has in years. She even managed her luggage solo during a 3-week Europe trip — walking 6–7 miles a day with ease!

Karen credits her progress to consistent practice and the thoughtful guidance of her teacher.

“Working with Priya has been one of the best decisions I’ve made this year,” she says. “I feel stronger, more capable, and confident in my body again.”

Karen’s story is a beautiful reminder that it’s never too late to invest in your health. With the right coach and the right support, small steps can lead to powerful change.

small correction to my previous post- No Additions has been made till now.

Vaibhaw That’s a great class.

Hello,

I have been in MYT platform 8 months. I really love practicing yoga with some of the good teachers over here. I wish they could add more group classes on Hormonal Balances and Women Wellness. The ones which are ongoing now are at 5 or 6 am which is tough for me to attend because of work or getting the kids ready for school. I shared this feedback couple of times with care team but addition has been made till now.

That’s 6:30 a.m. in the Midwest, still too early for me.

Kalpana Understood. We will create more classes for this time.

4:30 is too early for most people and I mentioned 5 in my message. That’s the reason most people from est that I referred the app to are not joining. Instructors are excellent but to capture clients from all time zones you should focus on time zones. Also class level. Can’t have all intermediate levels. Add on for beginners and newbies as well

bhagvad gita predates it about balancing the inward/outward breath. The outcome is a more balanced state of being. That state can be channelled into a higher experience or a calmer day or better relations

Hi Kalpana, understood. We do have a class at 4:30 AM EST - Yoga for Strength and Mobility. We would be creating more classes to cover all timezones 24*7.

Anirudh Love that question. I was discussing this with some of the nutritionists, just yesterday.

Yes, a lot of people turn to AI for their health queries. But when it comes to food and nutrition, that answers that AI generates, still has some factual inaccuracies that only health experts can spot.

AI’s responses are also biased, for example if you ask, “why is protein bad for me?” it will share information on those lines, not what is best for you.

Plus, AI is still not there, when it comes to personalizing meal plans, since the results are only based on the prompts. It does not factor the intricacies we explore in a nutrition consultation, that goes far beyond counting calories and tracking macros.
