About Me

I had my first experience with yoga when I was 8 years old. My mother (who too has been practicing yoga for the last 34 years) took me to Vivekanand Yoga Ashram in my native town of Aligarh, Uttar Pradeh India. I was an Asthmatic.
Fast forward to 2007, I was struggling with low energy levels and exhaustion, unable to run behind my super active toddler. I found a cure for improving my stamina and my recurring Asthmatic attacks, in yoga classes at Sivananda Yoga Centre, Gurgaon India. I found the classes to be soothing to my body, mind, and soul.
To further this journey, I did my Yoga Teacher’s Training Course at Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashram, Thiruvanantpuram, Kerala India in 2008.
Immediately after which, I started to teach at the Sivananda Yoga centre.
Opened my Yoga Studio In Kolkata in 2016.
During Pandemic times, started teaching online to students worldwide.
With the regular practice of basic Sivananda Yoga class, I benefitted in several ways including
got completely cured of Asthma
an improved stamina
an increase in my energy level
peace of mind
Improved sleep
Better digestion
Overall well being among many others
I was infected with COVID 19 in April 2021 and developed lung damage as the long-term side effect of COVID. Tried medication for 2-3 months but got no relief. Finally, I went back to practicing traditional breathing practices called Pranayama, which helped me to restore my lungs’ health completely.
I practiced Prenatal Yoga during my pregnancies and could deliver my children normally (no C-Section)
My elder daughter is taking the tradition forward and practices regularly and the younger one has started enjoying and looks forward to joyful kids’ yoga classes.
Yoga has been my constant companion helping me at every stage in my life. Wish to help you, to experience and benefit in the same way, through the holistic teaching of Yoga and Pranayama.

Hey, I'm manager of yoga instructor Diana. She's from Ukraine, so I'll help with translations and communication.

Hatha yoga - Yoga helps us to strengthen the body from the outside and inside. It helps us to improve our inner state and find balance. It is an opportunity to organize thoughts and focus on the here and now. In addition, yoga strengthens the body and improves mood. It has a positive effect on the flexibility and balance of our body.

What are the benefits of this practice? First of all, it helps to strengthen the human body, build endurance and willpower. This yoga helps to relax and improves the ability to cope with stress. It has a positive effect on blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Due to the diversity of this practice, it improves muscle flexibility. Also, this practice fills the body with energy, boosts immunity and improves your posture.

This practice is suitable for both women and men of all ages. The practice is a bit more complicated than hatha yoga, but it is also suitable for beginners. It is possible to move further in terms of complexity, using more dynamics and increasing the complexity of asanas. Further complication is focused on the use of asanas with deflections and inverted positions. Also, you can smoothly move into Ashtanga yoga or dynamic yoga.

Diana has three years of experience teaching modern dance and yoga individually. She has more than 5 years of teaching experience in groups and dozens of satisfied students. Therefore, she will definitely provide everyone with an individual approach, find the right pace and the necessary asanas.

If you have more questions, don't hesitate to text me <3

Let's change our lives today, not every Monday, right?)

Sound healing, also known as energy medicine, is recognized as one of the fastest holistic healing techniques, using specific sound vibrations to promote relaxation, balance energy, and support both physical and mental wellness. Techniques such as sound baths, chakra healing, and full body sound healing therapy are used to help address various conditions, including stress, anxiety, pain, and even some chronic diseases.

Sound healing operates on the principle of resonance and vibrational medicine, where specific frequencies interact with the body on a cellular and energetic level to restore harmony. The body, being largely made of water, conducts these vibrations effectively, allowing sound to impact tissues deeply and trigger physiological responses such as endorphin release and pain relief.
Techniques and Applications
Sound Bath: Involves immersion in the soothing vibrations of instruments like singing bowls and gongs, inducing a deep state of relaxation and meditation.

Chakra Healing: Targets the body’s energy centers by using sounds matched to each chakra frequency, aiding in emotional release and energy flow.

Therapy for Diseases: Some studies and practitioners report benefits of sound healing for conditions like high blood pressure, insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, and even support through cancer and behavioral disorders.

Full Body Healing: Promotes overall wellness by balancing mental, physical, and spiritual health, leaving individuals feeling refreshed and at peace.

Benefits of Sound Healing
Reduces stress, anxiety, tension, and fatigue.

Improves mental clarity, emotional well-being, and sleep quality.

Enhances blood circulation, lowers blood pressure, and supports natural healing.

Balances chakras, promotes deep relaxation, and fosters a spiritual sense of connection.

Sound healing is generally considered safe for most people, but those with certain sound sensitivities, epilepsy, or pregnancy should consult with practitioners before sessions.

Yoga Nidra is a sacred practice of conscious rest, where the body sleeps while awareness remains awake. Rooted in the ancient yogic tradition, this guided journey gently draws attention inward, allowing the nervous system to settle and the mind to enter a deeply receptive state.

The practice begins with breath awareness and body sensing, followed by the setting of a Sankalpa—a heartfelt intention planted in the fertile ground between waking and sleep. Gentle mantra vibrations and guided imagery support the release of physical, mental, and emotional layers, leading toward a sense of wholeness and inner stillness.

In this liminal state, the fluctuations of the mind soften, echoing the yogic understanding that true rest arises not from sleep alone, but from presence. Yoga Nidra nourishes clarity, emotional balance, creativity, and deep renewal.

Suitable for all levels, this practice invites you to rest, realign, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.
