Personal Statement

I had my first experience with yoga when I was 8 years old. My mother (who too has been practicing yoga for the last 34 years) took me to Vivekanand Yoga Ashram in my native town of Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh India. I was an Asthmatic. Fast forward to 2007, I was struggling with low energy levels and exhaustion, unable to run behind my superactive toddler. I found a cure for improving my stamina and my recurring Asthmatic attacks, in yoga classes at Sivananda Yoga Centre, Gurgaon India. I found the classes to be soothing to my body, mind and soul. To further this journey, I did my Yoga Teacher’s Training Course from Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashram, Neyyar Dam, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala India in 2008. Immediately after which, I started to teach at the Sivananda Yoga centre, various classes like private classes group classes corporate classes. Next I opened my Yoga Studio In Kolkata in 2016. During Pandemic times, started teaching online to students worldwide. With the regular practice of basic Sivananda Yoga class, I benefitted in several ways including: got completely cured of Asthma an improved stamina an increase in my energy level peace of mind Improved sleep Better digestion Overall well being among many others I was infected with COVID 19 in April 2021 and developed lung damage as the long term side effect of COVID. Tried medication for 2-3 months but got no relief. Finally I went back to practicing traditional breathing practices called Pranayama, which helped me to restore my lungs’ health completely. I practiced Prenatal Yoga during my pregnancies and could deliver my children normally (no C-Section) My elder daughter is taking the tradition forward and practices regularly and the younger one has started enjoying and looks forward to joyful kids’ yoga classes. Yoga has been my constant companion helping me at every stage in my life. I wish to help you, to experience and benefit in the same way, through the holistic teaching of Yoga and Pranayama. More than 12 years of experience as a Yoga Teacher. I have experience of teaching various classes like Group Yoga classes, Corporate classes, Private classes. I am trained to teach Prenatal Classes Postnatal classes Beginners' Yoga class Intermediate Yoga Class Seniors' Yoga class Yoga for Back Pain Pranayama class
