Yin Yoga and Mindful Movement
Slow down, breathe deeply, and explore shapes that honor your body. Welcome to my practice of Yin Yoga and somatic movement.
This short video captures the feeling of my Yin Yoga practice. It is not about sweating or pushing, but about finding stillness, deep release, and a quiet strength. This is your invitation to slow down and go inward.
Here I demonstrate the Shoelace shape, a wonderful pose for releasing tension in the hips and glutes. I show several variations because Yin Yoga is about finding what works for your unique body, not forcing a perfect shape. There is no one right way.
A quiet moment of rest during one of my in-person workshops. My sessions are a space for community, positivity, and shared calm, where we embrace stillness and find solace together.
I often get asked, "What is Yin Yoga?" This is my answer. It is a meditative, non-muscular practice rooted in Taoism that honors our differences and invites us to find stillness in a shape that works for our own body.
Movement should be accessible to every body. Here is a look at an adapted Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) I teach in my yoga sessions for seniors, designed to be gentle, safe, and effective for building flexibility and strength.
A personal hello from me. My online classes are designed to be accessible and inclusive, a space for mindful work, rest, and meditation from the comfort of your home. I am always here if you have any questions.
This is an invitation to one of my themed workshops, "Cosy Up to the Quiet." These sessions are a chance to go deeper, with long, juicy holds for spinal release and lower body loosening, all in a warm, welcoming environment.
The philosophy of Taoism is the heart of my practice. In this reading from the Tao Te Ching, I share a passage that reminds us that true strength lies in softness and that we can become whole by learning to let go.
About Featured
In these sessions, we focus on holding floor-based shapes for three to five minutes, allowing gravity and gentle pressure to release tension in the fascia and joints. I guide you through variations for every pose, ensuring that whether you are practicing in-person in Bengaluru or joining from your living room, the movement respects your unique anatomy rather than forcing it into a standardized box.
My practice is rooted in the Taoist concept of wu-wei, or effortless action. We do not treat yoga as a gym workout. Instead, we use it as a tool to cultivate presence. If you feel overwhelmed by the pace of life, my Yin Yoga and somatic workshops offer a necessary counterpoint to the rush.
I offer several ways to connect. For those seeking personal attention, my 75-minute private therapeutic sessions via Zoom or in-person involve a detailed intake to address specific pain points, injury rehab, or sleep struggles. If you prefer a group setting, my in-person gatherings in Bengaluru (at Shoonya Centre) and Jaipur (at Yog Yug and Maah) focus on community, often featuring live poetry readings and herbal tea. For those unable to travel, my online monthly membership includes three interactive Zoom sessions per week, covering both active flows and passive stretches.
I am particularly passionate about making movement inclusive. I teach adapted Surya Namaskar and chair yoga specifically for seniors, ensuring that age is never a barrier to flexibility or joy. My goal is to help you feel 'yinside'—grounded, curious, and comfortable in your own skin. Come as you are, bring a mat, and we will find the stillness together.
