# Sanjana Sekar

I guide students through traditional Ashtanga Yoga and yoga therapy, using the practice to build a balanced inner self. My focus is on the journey of growth, not just achieving poses.

### My story

I’m Sanjana, started as an architect but yoga pulled me in, full heart. Mysore trips are my penance, and learning from Guruji Sharath Jois is everything. Level 2 authorised, I dig deep into tradition—parampara means a lot. Did my MSc in Yoga, even dived into Sanskrit just so I could read the Gita with feeling. Off the mat, I’m all about ragi idiyappam, vegan experiments, and quiet mountain walks with family. Yoga, food, nature—sab kuch ek hi hai (it’s all one).

### My work

- **Traditional Ashtanga Yoga Classes**: I teach Mysore-style Ashtanga Yoga online and in Bangalore, plus yoga therapy for arthritis and insomnia.
- **Personalised Mysore-Style Practice**: Classes at my home-shala, with individual adjustments. Beginners, seniors—sab welcome (everyone’s welcome).
- **Inner Journey Focus**: Not chasing poses—using asana to clear friction and find truth inside. It’s about growing within.
- **Holistic Living**: Yoga flows into daily life—food, discipline, self-compassion. Satvic cooking and mindful habits matter.
