a little about myself
As a teacher, my commitment to my own transformation is what I feel inspired to share; to empower others on their journey of remembering their Self.
Then
I spent the first 40 years of my life simply living a reality that didn't feel like my dream. I had the good fortune of attending prestigious institutions such as St. Stephens' College in India, Harvard Graduate School of Education in the US and had a successful career in digital marketing working for start-ups to large companies.
During this time, I describe myself as a closeted hippie. On occasions, I ventured off to live in other countries, or took time off from corporate life to just be, and those were the happiest moments for me.
Dream
Having felt purposeless for a long time, I took a weekend trip to the Kripalu Yoga Center and that was the turning point. Subsequently I completed my first Yoga Teacher Training in 2013 from the Pranotthan School of Yoga.
A few years later I found the courage and opportunity to leave the high stress world of marketing and move to an ashram. The teachings of the Amrit Yoga Institute are based on an energy lineage and that of Swami Kripalu, on whom the Kripalu Yoga Center is founded. I lived at the ashram for almost 3 years and took the basic and advanced trainings in Yoga & Yoga Nidra. In addition to organizing retreats & workshops in India and teaching in programs and the community, I enjoyed working in the kitchen and participating in various community activities.
Now
In 2019, I moved back to India. That the corporate world was far behind was crystal clear to me, as I now had the opportunity to eventually live my dream. I love to teach as part of my practice. Every opportunity in which I can share what I have learned, I consider a gift, and a reinforcement of the teachings.
Currently I am focused on spreading the energy based teachings of Yoga and Yoga nidra through classes, workshops & discussions.
Today, a typical day includes morning practice, playing with my dog, singing to my parrot, teaching occasionally, sitting out in the garden, gardening, cooking, watching movies, walking & hanging out with family.
My life has meaning & purpose and for that I am grateful.
