About

I came to yoga formally at the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga in Delhi, run by the Ministry of Ayush, where I took the foundation course in 2018 and went on to the certificate in yogasana and advanced sadhana. From there I went to Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya in Haridwar, first for a certificate in yoga and alternative therapy and then for a master’s in Human Consciousness and Yogic Science. After the master’s I stayed on to teach there, in the Pro Vice-Chancellor’s office. Along the way I volunteered at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre in Dwarka.

My training is classical, in the Hatha and Sivananda traditions, and that is how I teach: breath and stillness first, the poses after.

I also write poems. Some of them are on the Art page.
