about me

yoga teacher & author

Hi, I’m an experienced yoga and Vedanta teacher and author. I write on the intersection of tradition and modernity in yoga.


I’ve been practicing yoga regularly since 2009. I began with experimenting with different styles until I discovered the Iyengar style of yoga—a system I’ve remained faithful to for over a decade.


In 2012 I obtained a Yoga Instructors’ Certification and in 2022, I completed an MSc in Yoga from SVYASA (Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusadhana Samsthana)

Being recognised for my contribution to the field of yoga studies.

What I Teach

I teach yoga and Vedanta classes—both group and private sessions. My classes are rooted in traditional knowledge and adapted for modern needs.

 

In 2020, I was hand-picked by my Vedanta guru to study with her in the traditional guru-shishya format. With her blessings, I began teaching Vedanta in 2023, sharing the timeless wisdom of the Upanishads and Gita with students across the world.

 

In 2023 I became pregnant for the first time and delivered a healthy baby girl in March 2024.  My difficult conception journey followed by a healthy pregnancy and postpartum experience have shown me the need and importance of yoga for women, inspiring me to teach prenatal and postpartum yoga.  

 

I continue to deepen my practice under the guidance of noted teachers. I also share insights from my postpartum journey, temple visits, travels, and even book reviews on my blog, offering a personal glimpse into my life and experiences.

 

Before teaching yoga full time I worked as a Software Engineer with Infosys Technologies and Accenture Pvt. Ltd. After eight years in that space, I finally hung up my business suit and committed myself to the path of yoga.

I continue to deepen my practice under the guidance of noted teachers. I also share insights from my postpartum journey, temple visits, travels, and even book reviews on my blog, offering a personal glimpse into my life and experiences.
