My practice isn't confined to a studio. Nature—from Bengaluru’s quiet hilltops to the serenity of tea plantations—is where I truly connect with the five elements.

Rooted to the earth, reaching for the sky. This sequence on a hilltop near Bangalore includes warrior poses and tree pose, embodying the connection between grounding and expansion that is so central to yoga.

Holding Virabhadrasana II, or Warrior II, overlooking a vast green landscape. This pose is not about being good at something, but about being good to yourself, finding your strength and holding it with grace.

A powerful Virabhadrasana I, or Warrior I. This pose helps me feel like my own warrior, strong enough to create positive change in my life, grounded in my own power and intention.

A graceful Viparita Virabhadrasana, or reverse warrior. This pose is about listening to yourself and letting the movement come from within, a beautiful expression of fierceness and connection.

Balancing in Virabhadrasana III, or Warrior III. Finding stability on an uneven rock is a reflection of finding balance in life. It's about dancing with change and having the focus to find the still point within it all.

Blooming with grace in Vrikshasana, or tree pose. Wherever life plants you, you have the ability to stand tall, find your balance, and grow, just like a tree reaching for the sun.

Natarajasana, the dancer's pose, is a secret weapon for life. It teaches balance, focus, and grace, all while opening the heart to the world.

Finding my balance in Ardha Chandrasana, or half-moon pose. This pose requires openness in the hips and stability in the standing leg, a beautiful combination of grounding and expansion.

Embodying strength and grace in Utkata Konasana, the goddess pose. This powerful stance connects you to the earth and your own inner strength. Live life as a goddess, you are one.

Taking flight in Bakasana, or crow pose, on a hilltop. Practicing arm balances outdoors connects me to a sense of freedom and self-love. It's a reminder that loving yourself is not selfish, it is a necessity.

About Yoga Amidst Greenery

Practicing outdoors demands a different kind of focus than a studio session. When you are on uneven rock or soft grass, your core works harder to stabilize, and you have to let go of the need for perfect alignment. I teach you how to adapt your asanas to the terrain, using the natural slope of the land to deepen your stretches.
