I didn't start in a yoga studio. I swapped spreadsheets for yoga mats, and I've never looked back. Here is the real story behind my switch to full-time fitness in Namma Bengaluru.

Looking back at my early yoga photos reminds me how far I've come. I used to spend hours trying to get the perfect pose, but now I know the journey is about growth and embracing every wobbly, imperfect step along the way.

In this interview, I talk about my journey and how I saw myself getting better and better with consistent effort. I'm so grateful for my supportive family, who have always given me the space to pursue my passion for running and coaching.

It's so important to prioritize yourself and practice self-love. This video is a reminder that taking time for your own well-being isn't selfish; it's necessary to become more effective and joyful in all areas of your life.

From our first picture together to focused workouts and birthday celebrations, this is a tribute to a precious friendship. The people in my life are a huge part of my journey and my strength.

This is a little bit about me: a certified Yoga Teacher, a Fitness and Marathon coach, and a mother of three. My journey has taken me from being a Chartered Accountant to a full time fitness professional, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Every day is a good day to celebrate the people who make you stronger. I am so grateful for my family and my tribe of friends and runners who support me and allow me to be who I am.

About My Journey & Inspiration

Most people see the finished poses, but they don't see the years of shaky balance and early morning runs. My path to becoming a coach wasn't a straight line. It involved leaving a stable career as a Chartered Accountant, navigating real injuries, and learning to listen to my body over the noise of perfection. If you are looking for a coach who understands the messiness of real life, let’s connect.
