My journey into yoga wasn’t a sudden leap; it was a natural extension of a life dedicated to movement. For years, my world revolved around the dance studio. The rhythm, the form, the discipline—it was all about pushing boundaries and expressing myself through the body. My dance tutors would often lead us through yoga sessions in the mornings, not just as a warm-up, but to prepare us for the day of demanding physical and creative work ahead.

It was during these sessions that I began to see the deeper connection between these two practices. This curiosity led me to take modules in both Tai Chi and yoga as part of my BA in Dance. As I delved into various techniques, I started to realize that so much of contemporary dance is, in fact, inspired by yoga. The shared emphasis on breath as a stimulus for movement, the focus on alignment, and the fluid transitions from one shape to the next—the parallels were undeniable.

As a dancer, I’ve always been deeply in tune with my body, learning to listen to its signals every day. I know that my body is a living, breathing instrument, and that every day brings a new opportunity to learn, adapt, and grow. This mindset transitioned seamlessly into my yoga practice. While my formal training began in India, a journey that truly blossomed my personal practice, my understanding of movement had been developing for years.

As a teacher, I love combining all this knowledge to create dynamic and playful classes. I guide students to use their breath as a primary driver for movement, allowing them to find a flow that is both fluid and deeply personal. I wholeheartedly believe in the balance of yin and yang, recognizing the benefit of multiple styles of training for both the body and mind. This philosophy is woven into my teaching, whether I’m guiding a strong Vinyasa flow, a calming Yin session, or a traditional Hatha practice.

Over the years, my own practice has adapted to my body’s needs, shifting in style and intensity as life demands. The core ethos of yoga—to be in the moment, to honor the process, and to notice subtle changes—resonates with me deeply. This is the same principle that allows a dancer to find beauty in every movement, not just the final pose.

My path has taken me from the dance studio to leading 200-hour Yoga Teacher Trainings and teaching internationally. I’ve been a part of the online wellness space since 2020, where I discovered that teaching to corporate teams was a powerful way to bring the transformative benefits of yoga to a wider audience. It’s a journey I am dedicated to continuing, connecting with as many people as possible to share the transformative power of mindful movement.
