WHO I AM

“I am a yoga teacher and body-based practitioner working at the intersection of traditional yoga, nervous system awareness, and embodied regulation practices.”

My training began within the structured discipline of traditional yoga — a 900-hour Ashtanga Yoga teacher training in Mumbai, followed by certifications spanning prenatal yoga therapy, AYUSH-accredited teaching standards, and international registration through Yoga Alliance.

That foundation gave me a deep technical understanding of the practice.

But over time, my focus shifted. I became less interested in how a posture looks, and more interested in what is happening underneath it — how the nervous system responds to effort, to stillness, to safety, and to stress.

Today, my work centers on body-based awareness and nervous system regulation. I don’t teach performance-based yoga. Instead, I guide people through practices that help them notice what’s happening in their body, build capacity gradually, and return to a state of calm that lasts beyond the mat.

This approach is grounded in both traditional training and a modern, psychologically informed understanding of how people actually heal, adapt, and grow.

“The body is not something to control—it is something to understand.”

Regulation is built through repeated experiences of safety

Yoga is a practice of awareness, not performance

The nervous system learns through repetition, not force

Capacity matters more than intensity

This approach moves away from performance-based yoga and instead focuses on body-based awareness, nervous system literacy, and sustainable regulation.
