Exploring Animal Flow and Mindful Movement
Movement is my way of coming home to myself. Whether you are looking to build strength, find stillness, or just shake off the day, I'm here to help you find your flow.
This is what it’s all about for me, finding a moment to get a likkle flow going wherever I am. This beautiful shala in Goa was the perfect spot to practice my transitions, moving from a traveling ape to a full scorpion reach. Animal Flow is my moving meditation, a way to connect back to myself.
Here’s a peek into one of my beginner Animal Flow classes. We focus on understanding the fundamental movements and supporting each other's progress. It’s not about perfection, but about showing up, trying something new, and having fun with a great group of people.
I love getting into the technical details, like in this clip where I'm helping a student nail her Side Kickthrough. We work on the specific angles and lines to make the movement feel strong and stable. My goal is to give you the tools to build your own confident ground based practice.
The energy in this Sunday workshop was just fantastic. You can see us working on drills, moving together as a group, and finishing with a well deserved rest. This is what the community vibe is all about, a whole bunch of us coming together to move and play.
I was so thrilled to officially become a Level 1 Certified Animal Flow Instructor. This practice has humbled me and taught me so much about building from the foundation up. This certification represents my commitment to sharing this incredible movement system with all of you.
I love taking Animal Flow on the road. This is from a transformative beginner's workshop I hosted in Mumbai, combining ground based movement with mindfulness. If you're looking for a new way to challenge your body and mind, my workshops are the perfect place to start.
My fitness journey also includes exploring traditional Indian strength training. This practice involves unique equipment like the Samtola and Mudgar to build functional strength and coordination. It’s a powerful complement to my Animal Flow practice, connecting me to ancient training methods.
Movement is my way of connecting with my wild, eternal self. This photo captures that feeling of freedom and expression that I find through flow. It’s about more than just physical fitness; it’s about remembering the joy of being in your body.
About Featured
If you've ever felt intimidated by gym machines or rigid workout routines, this is for you. My approach to Animal Flow is about getting back to basics—using just your own body weight to build strength and coordination. It doesn't matter if you feel stiff or uncoordinated; we focus on finding 'sthira, sukha' (steadiness and ease) at your own pace, not on performing perfect poses.
Rediscovering Natural Movement
Animal Flow isn't just another fitness trend. It is a ground-based movement system that blends yoga, gymnastics, and elements of capoeira into a seamless practice. You do not need any fancy equipment, heavy weights, or gym machines—just a mat and a bit of curiosity.
What You Can Expect
When you join my sessions, whether it's a beginner pop-up or a weekly group class at MultiFit in Ulsoor, we don't focus on 'perfect' aesthetics. We focus on building a connection between your mind and body. We work on technical details like wrist health, weight distribution, and limb placement, but we always keep it playful. If a move takes a few tries to click, that is part of the journey.
Building Community
My classes are built around the idea of 'flowmies'—a supportive group where we learn and grow together. You will often see us sharing laughter, working on reaction drills, and finishing with a well-deserved rest.
Beyond the Mat
I also incorporate traditional Indian strength training, like using the Mudgar and Gada, to build functional strength that complements your flow practice. My goal is to give you the tools to build a sustainable, confident movement practice that you can take anywhere, from a studio in Bangalore to the beach in Goa. If you want to move in a way that feels more like play and less like punishment, let’s get a likkle flow going.
