Description
I am a freelance yoga teacher and instructor certified from the International Sivananda Dhanwantari Vendanta Ashram, Kerala, India. While living and studying in the Ashram, I got the opportunity to learn Yoga in it’s most authentic and traditional sense of Guru Parampara ( Living, practicing and learning along with the Gurus).
With degrees in BCA and MS – Computer Science from Christ University, Bangalore, I worked as a Software Engineer in India for nearly a decade across major multinational firms, before I found my calling in yoga. When I decided to pursue yoga as a profession, I lived, studied, and taught alongside seasoned yoga teachers or gurus as they are called at the Sivananda Ashram, before I completed my training in 2019 and received a certification in this tradition.
I have learnt several other forms including Hatha Vinyasa and Ashtanga during my travels across India from several different Yoga Teachers.
As a registered practitioner, I have been conducting online Hatha Yoga sessions for over 3 years now. I design wellness programs for healthy living that are focused on awareness and mindful movements, and keeping in consideration psychological and physical stressors that come with modern-day work and lifestyle choices.
When I am not teaching yoga, I like to dabble in playing music, with the guitar or keyboard, and travelling.
