About this collection
My practice moves beyond the mat to focus on your nervous system, using techniques that fit real life, not a studio ideal. Whether you are dealing with hormonal shifts, high-stress work cycles, or simply learning to slow down, my sessions in Westend Colony are adapted to your specific body and current needs, not a rigid set of postures.
Yoga is not just about the poses you see in photographs. It is a systematic way to clear emotional residue and reset your internal state. My teaching is deeply rooted in the Vinyasa Krama lineage passed down by my guru, Srivatsa Ramaswami, which prioritizes intelligent sequencing and breath control over simple gymnastics. When we practice this way, the movement becomes a moving meditation that calms the mind and prepares the nervous system for deeper work.
In our studio, we integrate these movements with the seasonal wisdom of Ayurveda. This means your practice changes with the time of year and the stage of your life. For women navigating hormonal transitions like perimenopause or menopause, I offer specialized focus on bone density, hormonal balance, and nervous system support. We do not just aim for flexibility; we aim for resilience.
Every session incorporates Pranayama and meditation, which I treat as foundational pillars rather than finishing touches. By regulating the breath, we directly influence our state of mind. Whether you are joining my in-studio sessions in Westend Colony or practicing through my virtual platform, the goal is the same: to build micro-habits that contribute to a vibrant, pain-free life. This is yoga adapted for the modern practitioner—efficient, deeply grounding, and designed to bring you back to yourself.

I used to be the person who couldn't sit still, always chasing the next workout and struggling with a racing mind. Yoga didn't come easy to me, but it taught me how to find quietude in movement and make choices from a place of inner work.
