Fitness for me? More like a soul reset. I’ve had my share of tumbles – fractured foot, banged-up leg, saree runs gone sideways. Still, I keep showing up, limping or leaping. My crew, my ‘woman tribe,’ keeps me laughing, matching outfits by accident, cheering loud. We’re not chasing perfect bodies here, just real strength and good company. ### My work - **Fitness & Yoga Coaching**: I train folks online or in-person for strength, yoga, and running. All ages, all levels. - **Barefoot Running & Strength for Runners**: As a Puma Coach, I lead training runs, strength sessions, and barefoot running coaching for everyone. - **Hyrox & Core Workouts**: We do Hyrox training sessions, core, banded activations, and yoga flows – every session’s got festival vibes. - **Women's Fitness Retreats & Corporate Wellness**: Special women's fitness retreats and wellness programs for groups or companies. Lots of energy, no boring bits. - **Supportive Community Vibes**: If you want a community running group, show up and sweat with us. No perfection – just progress. ## Book To book Shanthi Krishnan, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20Shanthi%20Krishnan.)
