My Personal Yoga Practice & Inspiration
My mat is where I find my truth. These snapshots from my personal practice—from the quiet of the hills to my morning flows—are the source of everything we bring to our retreats.
If it involves nature and adventure, count me in. Finding my balance with Padangusthasana in the branches of an ancient tree, connecting with its strength and grounding energy.
A Parsvakonasana, or Extended Side Angle Pose, a day keeps the tightness away. This is one of my go-to poses for creating space and length in the body.
Playtime on a rainy day in the hills. Moving through a dynamic flow including a headstand (Sirsasana) and twists, just feeling the joy of movement.
Planning juicy, nurturing, and mobilizing yoga classes for our community. My personal practice at the healing Tanpura Farms is where I find inspiration for our sessions together.
Practicing with this delicious mountain view for company. There is nothing like connecting with your breath while overlooking a vast, peaceful landscape.
A family yoga practice overlooking the Ganga in Rishikesh. Sharing the practice with loved ones in such a spiritual place is incredibly special.
A rendezvous with Rishikesh. From the quiet of the full moon to the energy of the Ganga Aarti, this place always fills my heart.
Glimpses from my very first silent meditation retreat. The experience taught me so much about inner stillness, and I bring those lessons into our retreat meditations.
More moments from my personal flow state. Whether it's a gentle morning stretch or a challenging sequence, my practice is my constant in a world of change.

About My Personal Practice & Inspiration
My practice isn't about perfectly holding an asana for an hour; it’s about mobilizing the body to release the tightness of city life. Whether I’m at Tanpura Farms or on my home mat, I focus on the balance between dynamic solar flows and restorative lunar stillness—the same Hatha methodology I bring into every class and retreat we host.
Finding My Flow
My mat is my anchor. In a life that often demands we be 'on' all the time, my daily Hatha practice is the sacred space where I can finally switch off. Whether I am deep in the mountains of Rishikesh or in a quiet corner of our Mumbai studio, the goal is always the same: to find the connection between breath and movement.
The Hatha Philosophy
For me, Hatha yoga—the union of 'ha' (sun) and 'ta' (moon)—is about more than just flexibility. It is about understanding the dualities within us. My personal flows often shift between:
- Solar Practice: Dynamic, heat-building sequences that help me wake up and mobilize after long hours of sitting or travel.
- Lunar Practice: Restorative sessions focusing on Yoga Nidra and deep stretches, essential for nervous system regulation and stress relief.
Why This Matters for You
I share these glimpses because I want you to know that yoga is not about achieving the 'perfect' pose. It is about the honesty of the practice. If you are struggling with stiffness, burnout, or simply looking to start a sustainable routine, remember that it starts with just showing up. My retreats—from the Lakshadweep island expeditions to our one-day nature escapes near the city—are designed around this exact principle. We don't just teach poses; we teach you how to build a practice that travels with you, long after you leave the mat. 🧘♀️✨
