Yoga Journey
I completed my Yoga Teacher Training at Lakulish University, Ahmedabad, grounding my practice in the classical teachings of Hatha Yoga and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras (the 8 limbs of yoga). Over the years, I have guided thousands of individuals, helping them find balance in body, mind, and soul through a disciplined yogic lifestyle.
Philosophy
Yoga and meditation are more than fitness tools for me—they represent a lifestyle choice fostering harmony across physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions. I am a regular practitioner who believes in integrated wellness through classical yoga techniques, mindful breathing, and meditation.
I also support friends and family with therapeutic yoga for weight management, spinal health, inflammation reduction, stress relief, and overcoming depression.
Research and Expertise
Driven by a scientific curiosity, I am engaged in research at the intersection of yoga, genetics, and nutrition, exploring how yoga and diet influence epigenetics and contribute to gene health. My studies aim to deepen the understanding of yoga’s role in disease prevention and overall wellness.
My Approach
- Classical Hatha Yoga: I teach using the timeless principles of classical Hatha Yoga, deeply rooted in ancient wisdom. This holistic practice nurtures the balance of body, mind, and spirit through traditional techniques passed down through generations.
- Understanding the Body: Every person’s body is unique, and I carefully assess each individual’s health conditions and challenges. I use my knowledge of body anatomy and biomechanics to tailor yoga poses and alignments, ensuring they suit your specific needs and support effective healing.
- Blending Science and Tradition: My practice combines the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern scientific insights. This fusion allows me to offer treatments that are both authentic and effective, integrating yoga with other healing methods to promote overall well-being.
- Personalized Yoga Therapy: A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work in yoga. I perform a thorough assessment of your body type (prakruti), health issues, and personal challenges, and then design a customized yoga plan. This ensures that each pose and practice is precisely aimed at healing and strengthening you.
- Spiritual and Holistic Foundation: The heart of my teaching is spirituality. My goal is to unite the mind, body, and spirit through ancient yogic philosophies and practices such as meditation, breath control (pranayama), ethical living (yamas and niyamas), and physical postures (asanas). This journey leads to self-awareness, inner peace, and spiritual freedom.
