My Personal Yoga Sadhana and Daily Practice
My practice is my anchor. It is where I learn, grow, and reconnect, keeping me grounded through the highs and lows of daily life.
A beautiful start to the day with 108 Surya Namaskar. Practice is my anchor. It reminds me of my journey, from having no money and walking for months to classes, to now having a loving community. If you cannot run, then walk. If you cannot walk, then crawl. But keep moving.
Exploring a flow from seated poses to arm balances. This is part of my regular practice, available for you to join in my online classes with timings for all levels.
Some balancing asanas and their variations. These poses help reduce thoughts and bring your attention inward, increasing concentration and coordination. Simple asanas done with joy are as powerful as any advanced pose.
Practice is like watering a plant every day. A little bit is enough, you don't need a whole bucket at once. Make it a part of your daily routine, just like eating or sleeping.
What keeps me going? The feeling that I am not alone and that I am just a worker. The rest is taken care of. This belief allows me to practice my handstand with focus and without worry.
Having some fun with a headstand variation I call the 'moon walk'. Playing with poses keeps the practice light and joyful.
A moment from my handstand practice. Finding that single point of balance brings everything into focus. Handstand is a practice you have to meet regularly, at least a few times a week, to maintain your progress.
A little bit of practice in a beautiful place. Here I'm working on Pincha Mayurasana (Feathered Peacock Pose) variations, enjoying the connection with nature.
An evening slow practice session. This is my time to connect with myself, moving through asanas like Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana and Prasarita Padottanasana with awareness and breath.
Working on Eka Pada Urdhva Dhanurasana (One-Legged Wheel Pose). A small tip: shifting your body weight more onto your hands makes it lighter to lift the leg. You can always start with a bent knee.
About My Personal Practice (Sadhana)
It isn't about hitting the perfect pose every day, but about the 'water the plant' mindset. Just like I do 108 Surya Namaskars or work on handstand balance, my practice helps me stay consistent. You will see me using props and variations—not to look flashy, but to listen to what my body needs on that specific day.
My mat is where I drop the titles. I am just a worker, and my practice is the work.
Why Practice Daily?
Think of your practice like watering a plant. You don't dump a whole bucket of water on it once and hope for the best; you give it a little every single day. This is how I built my strength and confidence over the last 15 years. Whether it is a slow evening flow or an intense handstand session, the goal is to make it a part of your daily routine—just like eating or sleeping.
Slow is Fast
In our modern world, we want quick results, but yoga teaches us the opposite. If you cannot run, you walk. If you cannot walk, you crawl. But you keep moving. In my sessions, we focus on dynamic movement leading into static holds, allowing you to prepare for deeper pranayama and meditation.
My Philosophy
Subko sab kuch nahi milta, jo mila hai usme khush rehna aur mehnat karte rehna hai (Not everyone gets everything, you have to learn to be happy with what you have and keep working hard). I don't believe in practicing with pressure or anger. If you approach an advanced pose with a calm mind, it is a practice. If you approach a basic pose with frustration, it is just a struggle.
How I Structure My Practice
I believe in using props like belts, chairs, and wooden blocks to make poses accessible. You might see me practicing Eka Pada Urdhva Dhanurasana or Pincha Mayurasana—these aren't just poses. They are moments where I align my thoughts, speech, and actions on and off the mat. If you are looking to build a consistent practice that focuses on alignment, foundations, and mental clarity, I am here to guide you.

I am a student first, then a teacher. My personal practice is not about performing, but about showing up on the mat—even on days when I feel stiff or tired. I hope to help you find that same steady, joyful rhythm in your own life.
