I have been a student of Yoga since 25+ years, and am teaching since 20+ years. It continues to fascinate me, as I observe the potent effects of all of the practices, both on myself and the people I work with, whether physically, mentally, emotionally or to awaken a higher potential within. 

​

I started my journey with Shri B.K.S Iyengar and was fortunate enough to learn from him, his daughter, and his immediate students. My journey led me to his master Shri Krishnamacharya (who incidentally had also taught Shri Pattabhi Jois), and I spent time at their center in Chennai which was run by his son Shri Desikachar. Thirsting for more, wanting to experience Yogic Life in its entirety, and immerse myself in ashram life, I spent a large part of my life associated with the Bihar School of Yoga which was founded by Swami Satyananda (a disciple of Swami Sivananda who founded the Divine Life Society, in the foothills of the Indian Himalaya). 

​

Here are some of my teaching highlights:

• Taught in India, Seattle, and in California. Now teaching virtually across the world!

• Worked across age ranges from children at schools,  adults, pregnant women, senior citizens.

• Conducted programs at corporates like IBM, Goldman Sachs, GE, etc.

• Offered free Yoga workshops across voluntary organizations.

• Conducted teacher training programs, yoga retreats, advanced Yoga workshops (like Prana and Pranayama, Understanding Yoga Nidra, Exploring Pratyahara Practices, Chakra Sadhana, Mind Management through Yoga, Mantra and Mala, Nada Yoga etc.).

• Invited to speak publicly at many forums including at the Rotary Club, the Lions Club, and conducted several large-scale yoga events.

• My articles  on Yoga have been published in several publications.

​

As I continue to practice today, I am constantly discovering more and more about the magic of Yoga, and have felt it touch every aspect of my life. It helped me when I used to professionally lead high altitude treks in the Himalayas going up to 18000 feet, it helped me as my husband and I moved several locations, it helped me through my miscarriages, it helped me deliver both my children naturally at home without any medication, it continues to help me become a better parent, and to cope with life during the pandemic.

​

Teaching for me is a passion, and I strive to be a channel to pass on this pure, sacred knowledge, that has been handed down since generations, that leads to holistic health, harmony, inner peace and a blossoming of the creative potential that exists in all of us.
