With over 8 years of experience in teaching and practicing Ashtanga and Hatha yoga, I, an E-RYT 500 certified yoga instructor, have embarked on a transformative journey. My love for yoga led me to traverse the captivating landscapes of India, where I imbibed the essence of this ancient art form. It was at INDEA Yoga Mysore that I discovered my true Guru and delved deeper into my practice.
My yoga expedition commenced in 2015, a path filled with self-discovery and growth. However, it was in 2018 that my journey took an extraordinary turn when I joined INDEA Yoga under the tutelage of the revered Yogacharya Bharath Shetty. Since then, guided by his wisdom, I have honed my yoga skills, both in my personal practice and in guiding others through their own yoga journeys.
