Yoga has been a way of life for me. I have trained as a Yoga Instructor and then as a Yoga Therapist, from Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthan, a deemed university at Bangalore, India. I have worked in Bangalore as a Yoga Therapist at an Ayurvedic therapy centre including sessions for people with hypertension, backache, diabetes, anxiety, depression and other specified conditions. I have also been taking pre natal classes. My outlook to yoga is therapy oriented. Its immense calming effect on the mind has helped me in dealing with life in a better way and I believe will help others also in the similar manner. |

I was introduced to Yoga at the age of 15 years. My passion for fitness encouraged me to try out different levels of exercises ranging from military training, commando training, karate, salvage diving, mountaineering, rock climbing, snow skiing and cross country running. The rigours of the above exercises could not be sustained for long and I finally settled down with Yoga and Meditation as part of my everyday life. Having managed my severe Migraine attacks and other challenges in life with Yoga and Meditation, I decided to do the Yoga Instructor Course in 2008 from India. While teaching Yoga, I came across people suffering from various psycho-somatic diseases for which Modern Medicine has a limited role to play. To help out such people, I further specialized in Yoga Therapy by doing the one year Post-Graduate Diploma in Yoga therapy in 2009 from India. |
