About Yoga Instruction
What I Believe
Your body isn’t a project to fix. It’s your home. I don’t teach yoga for perfect poses or Insta likes. My focus is on helping you listen to your body and build a rhythm that fits your life. Motivation comes and goes, but ritual sticks. Har din jeet nahi milegi tumhein (You won't win every day) - and that’s totally fine.
How I Teach
- Presence matters more than performance. Some days you’ll flow, some days you’ll flop. Just show up.
- We move with intention, using breath to find balance and a bit more peace.
- Discipline is self-care, not punishment. It’s how we build a practice that lasts.
Who Can Join
Anyone. Beginners who can’t touch their toes, seasoned yogis, folks with stiff backs, women over 35 - I keep my batches small so you get personal attention. We use props like blocks and belts to make accessible yoga classes for every body.
What We Do
- Group sessions in Kochi and online, with morning and evening batches.
- Traditional Samasthiti Yoga for alignment, awareness, and strength.
- Advanced workshops for headstand progression and arm balances (not for newbies).
- Therapeutic yoga for back pain, wrist drills for desk workers, and yoga for graceful aging.
Personalised Options
I offer private 1:1 sessions and special online workshops, like my #21DaystoShirshasana challenge. If you want focused help or a deeper dive, I’ve got you.

My Story
If you’d told me in my old corporate days that I’d be here, teaching yoga and lifting weights, I’d have laughed and sipped my coffee. But life spun me around. Yoga at Satyananda Yoga Vidyalaya in Bhubaneshwar with my guru, that changed everything. Now, 20 years in, I’m still lit up by every class. Kochi’s nature, my bike rides, my cats, and my students’ tiny wins - that’s my real gold. 49 looks good, storms and all.
My Work
Traditional Yoga & Strength Training - I teach group and 1:1 yoga, both online and in Kochi. Beginner-friendly yoga, therapy classes, and advanced stuff like inversions and arm balances.
Movement Beyond Weight Loss - If you’re here only for weight loss, I’m not your person. We work on strength, mobility, and moving without guilt.
Longevity & Real Strength - My focus is strong bones, happy joints, and a gut that doesn’t complain. Consistency matters more than perfection.
The Vibe - Classes are high energy but chill. We wobble, laugh, and learn. Real practice is messy, and that’s how I like it.
