A Seeker...now an Isha Hatha Yoga Teacher!

Being born in Kashi means inheriting a legacy of seeking, questioning, and yearning for enlightenment—one that has deeply influenced my own journey.

As I grew up, I recognized the benefits of yoga, but I always sought to grasp its deeper meaning and understanding. The challenge was balancing this with my busy corporate schedule. In 2017, I participated in a transformative Inner Engineering program offered by Isha Foundation, which had a profound impact on my life. I then pursued various Isha Hatha Yoga practices and completed an intensive 1750-hour Isha Hatha Yoga Teacher Training at the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore. The 21 weeks I spent in the ashram, dedicated to self-exploration and personal growth, significantly improved my physical and mental well-being and transformed my outlook on life. 

As a certified Isha Hatha Yoga Teacher and devoted practitioner, I find great fulfilment in sharing the transformative power of these practices with others. I began my teaching journey at “Yoga Sadhana,” a studio owned and operated by a fellow teacher. Before transitioning into teaching, I worked as a media and project professional, where I developed strong organizational and teamwork skills. However, I felt a deep calling to follow my passion for wellness and self-discovery, leading me to pursue this new path. For me, “Yoga is a beautiful way of being,” and I will continue to encourage everyone embody this philosophy in their daily life. 

In my free time, I immerse myself in yoga, meditation, learning and writing. I also love to travel, exploring new places and cultures, which fuels my creativity and broadens my perspective. I believe in authenticity – “I am what I am.” This philosophy guides me in my personal and professional life, encouraging me to embrace my true self and inspire others to do the same.

From Teacher's Diary...

Yoga was never the primary focus in my life. Like many others, I found myself engrossed in meaningless pursuits. However, my curiosity about exploring something beyond the physical realm always lingered, urging me to seek a more meaningful existence. The only question was, HOW?

I kept putting this question off until life took an unexpected turn a few years ago when I was diagnosed with an auto-immune condition. The news that I had to live with an illness deemed incurable shook me to my core. Deprived of medical options, I faced both pain and deep despair. It was during this challenging time that I discovered Isha Foundation and Sadhguru. Through my first program and regular practices, a spark of hope ignited within me, suggesting I could overcome this internal struggle. Gradually, I found balance in both body and mind. Step by step, I delved into Isha Hatha Yoga practices, and with each passing month, my health and confidence steadily improved. Fully embracing yoga, my transformation amazed even my doctors, who were astounded by its power to heal and lift me from despair.

This second chance at life felt like a gift I needed to share. My existence became a tribute, a way to spread the essence of spirituality. I am now committed to sharing this sacred practice with those eager to incorporate YOGA into their lives and embody Sadhguru’s vision.

I came to realise that Yoga is not merely about stretching and breathing; it’s a transformative journey toward holistic well-being. So here I am, sharing this science and tools of transformation that I have received from my Guru with everyone.

So, “Shall we begin with Yoga?”
