I'm a Sivananda Classical Hatha Yoga instructor and teach all levels, beginners, intermediate and advanced levels. Currently teaching back in studio gym/leisure centers or privately online.
A typical open level class includes Relaxation, Pranayama (breathing exercises), warm-ups including Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar), Single & Double leg raises, 12 Basic asanas (postures), and final deep relaxation. The focus is on mastering the basic asanas from which variations are then added to further deepen the practice. The asanas follow an order that allows for the systematic movement of every major part of the body in a balanced way that enhances prana or life force energy, keeping the mind quiet and without the need to think beyond each individual pose.
I also teach chair yoga which will be different from the above class description but still includes relaxation, breathing exercises and simpler chair-based yoga.

Présentation
My journey started at a young age whilst she attended school in India where spiritual practice was an integral part of daily life. After returning to the UK and completing a mathematics degree at University of London, I felt a lack of job satisfaction in the corporate world. I completed a course on Meditation / healing in India where I came to the realisation that I wanted to teach Yoga. Having practised Yoga for 15 years (pranayama and meditation), I went on to become qualified in Sivananda Hatha Yoga in 2010 and did the Advanced Teachers Training Course in 2013. I now teaches traditional and classical form of Hatha Yoga in a variety of settings (currently only online and not at the gyms or leisure centres due to COVID-19) for those looking for work/life balance as well as volunteers at The North London Hospice teaching gentle chair yoga and breathing exercises to patients suffering from Cancer, COPD and various other illnesses.

I’m a self-employed yoga teacher freshly installed in London. I teach vinyasa yoga as slow or fast paced as you need, with a strong focus on intertwining the rich yoga philosophy with the physical practice.

I trained as a Vinyasa Yoga Teacher in San Francisco at Laughing Lotus (now renamed Lotusland Yoga) with Jasmine Tarkeshi and Brima Jah. This teacher training was life changing for me, and as I soaked in Jasmine & Brima’s knowledge, kindness and values, I strengthened my own yoga practice and developed my own way of sharing yoga with others.

My approach to teaching can be summarized in three major commitments:
- honouring yoga’s roots: I use both sanskrit and english names for asanas, I’m passionate about yoga mythology and love sharing the stories behind my favorite shapes
- offering teachings that represent the whole yoga philosophy: yoga is so much more than a workout, my classes always have an intention to them, they tend to be focused on one or two of the chakras and include at least another of the eight limbs (pranayama, one of the yamas or niyamas, meditation...)
- making my classes accessible to various communities and identities: yoga is for all! I offer many options in every asana to make them accessible to all bodies, I always encourage practitioners to rest as needed and follow their own pace, and I avoid using gendered cues that are inherently exclusive.

I’ve lived in many places and I've worked as a medical imaging software engineer for six years. A year ago, I quit my job and spent a sabbatical year with my partner, traveling Europe in our van. This year-long journey taught me so much and reinforced my confidence that I want yoga to be a major part of my life (both professional and personal). So as we settle into our new home in London, I’m taking this opportunity to focus on my career as a yoga teacher.
