I am 70, and my mat is where I find peace and strength every single day. Here is a look at the traditional practice I share with my students in Noida.

This is what decades of dedicated practice looks like. At 70, I find joy and freedom in challenging postures like this full forward-bending split, proving that age is truly just a number when it comes to yoga.

The Chakrasana, or Wheel Pose, is a powerful backbend that energizes the entire body. I guide my students to build the necessary shoulder, arm, and spinal strength to approach this asana safely.

A smile after a fulfilling practice. My classes are not just about physical postures; they are about finding joy, peace, and a little bit of fun on the mat. I welcome everyone with warmth and encouragement.

Finding stillness and strength in Vrikshasana, the Tree Pose. This fundamental balancing asana is a beautiful way to center the mind and improve focus, something we cultivate in every class.

Pranayam, or breathwork, is central to my holistic yoga teaching. Here, I am practicing Bhramari (Bee Breath), a technique I teach to help calm the nervous system and quiet the mind.

The wonderful energy of a group class celebrating International Yoga Day. There is a special power in practicing together, whether in my Noida studio or as part of our online community.

This is a variation of Anantasana, a deep side-reclining leg lift. It demonstrates the level of flexibility and control we can achieve through consistent and mindful practice over time.

Here I am in Sarvangasana, the shoulder stand, often called the 'queen of all asanas'. This inversion is excellent for circulation and calming the mind, and I teach various modifications to make it accessible.

About Featured

At my Noida studio in Sector 28, I keep group classes small—maximum 8 students—so I can personally guide your posture and breathing. You won't find a crowded gym atmosphere here; it is a dedicated home space where we focus on building a strong foundation, whether you are 18 or 80.
