Come see how my own practice evolved. ## Photos and videos - [Video: My journey to becoming an advanced yoga teacher took me to Mysuru, the yoga city of India.

I used to be terrified of inversions, yet now I find my calm in them. It taught me that fitness is less about hitting perfect poses and more about showing up for yourself, even when you are traveling or just squeezed into a busy day at home. Yoga became my escape and my therapy. After training in the Gurukulam system in Mysuru, I realized that yoga is not restricted to asanas. It is about philosophy, perspective, and having healthy discussions about everything. I learned that you have to be kind to your body to see real progress. ### My Teaching Philosophy I believe in progress over perfection. Whether you are looking for functional yoga, Hatha, Vinyasa, or just a little bit of stress relief through Pranayam, my classes are designed to be accessible. I don't follow a one-size-fits-all approach. If I am in Kasauli teaching from the mountains or working from my home studio, I make sure the energy is consistent. ### Why Practice With Me? - **Adaptability:** I mix functional workouts, cardio, and yoga so you never get bored. - **Real Attention:** Even in group settings, I monitor the screens to ensure you are safe and aligned. - **Holistic Approach:** We always finish with meditation or Om chanting because your mental health is as important as your physical strength. Fitness should not feel like a chore. It should be the hour in your day that rewards you. Chalo, let's start this journey together. ## About Vanika I’m Vanika.
