The Journey
I hail from the country India, located in the southern part of Asia. I attended a convent school in Delhi where I had my first experience of Yoga.
Twice a week we had lessons as a compulsory part of the school education, I spent these classes in the front row for being able to do all the Asanas perfectly. Some years later I found myself lost in urban education and jobs, where money making was the most important thing and seemed to be the only thing that mattered to everyone.
I started to succeed and become very good at everything I was doing, which for some time was very satisfying but that satisfaction did not last and I was left feeling that there was something more to life and that this cannot be it. I was not able to feel the depth and things began to feel very superficial.

I continued to learn more and more and went through the advanced programs with the Isha Yoga Foundation. After experiencing what Yoga was doing to me I decided one day that I would like to bring these tools of transformation to others.

And these simply yogic practices were the way to it, it was as simple as that. Having experienced the power of yoga I knew I wanted to teach, and since then the experience of sharing Yoga with people and showing them this path of finding or connecting with their inner self has proved to be the most satisfactory work in the world for me. And here is where my journey really started…
