Before I teach a complex alignment, I spend hours testing the props, the breath, and the effort myself—whether I am at my Nagarbhavi studio or practicing out in nature. It keeps me honest, humble, and deeply connected to the same physical and mental challenges you face in your own daily practice. ### Why I Practice Yoga is a journey of the mind as much as the body. For me, 'Abhyasa' (constant practice) is not about achieving the perfect pose, but about the process of showing up. My personal practice allows me to experiment with traditional Hatha yoga principles and Iyengar-style alignment before I introduce them to my students in Bengaluru. ### Integrating Philosophy and Asana Whether I am demonstrating a challenging arm balance like Mayurasana or finding stillness in a simple flow, my focus remains on the breath. This balance of physical strength and mental equanimity, as discussed in the Bhagavad Gita, is what I strive to create in every session at Yoga Bimba. It is rarely about how deep you can bend; it is about how steady you can breathe. ### Joining the Tribe If you are looking to deepen your practice, I invite you to join our community.
