My Sādhanā: Glimpses of an Authentic Yoga Practice

What is my Sādhanā?

My Sādhanā—my personal practice—is my anchor. It started when I was still in the corporate grind, looking for a way to cope with the noise of the world. It wasn't about flexibility then, and it isn't now. It is about how I use my exhalations, how I hold my bandhas, and how I allow my body to release stored stress.

The Purpose of the Practice

Many of us come to yoga looking for a 'stretch' or 'strength', but those are just byproducts. The real work happens when we stop trying to 'achieve' a pose and start allowing the body to be charged with energy.

• Ashtanga: I use this for discipline and internal heat, keeping my mind focused.
• Hatha & Restorative: On days when I need to slow down, I turn to Hatha, Kriyas, and moon day sequences to regulate my nervous system.
• Emotional Release: I hold poses like forward folds and deep hip openers to process things the mind is holding onto.

Moving Beyond the Physical

My home shala in Panchsheel Park is designed to be a sanctuary for this exact kind of work. It is quiet, dimly lit, and free from the distraction of modern gym mirrors. Whether I am practicing Vinyasa flows or sitting in meditation, the goal is always the same: to remember who I am before the world happened to me.

When you join my sessions, you are not just getting a teacher; you are getting someone who lives this process every single day. We don't just do gymnastics; we practice yoga to build a tool that helps us navigate life with more balance.
