It is not just about the poses, but about finding a way to live with more clarity and less clutter. ## Photos and videos - ![My teaching has evolved so much over the years.

This allows me to actually watch your body, ensure you are safe, and help you find a position that fits your unique anatomy, rather than forcing you to mirror me. It has been four years since I left my corporate job to teach yoga full-time. Those early days were tough—counting rupees, managing on savings, and learning to live with much less—but they were necessary. They taught me that true wellness is about minimizing, not accumulating. I bring this same philosophy to my sessions. We do not chase Instagram-perfect inversions here. Whether you are working with me 1:1 or in a group class, we focus on functional movement, managing Ayurvedic doshas, and integrating the Yoga Sutras into your daily life. If you are looking to stretch, breathe, and find a bit of sanity in the chaos of modern life, you are in the right place. My approach is to help you build a practice that travels with you, whether you are on a mat at home or stuck in a chaotic work week. We balance Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga-inspired flows, always with an emphasis on breathwork and meditation to quiet the mind. ## About Kriti I am Kriti. I traded corporate stability for the mat, and I have not looked back. I teach simple, effective yoga to help you stay sane, whether you are a complete beginner or looking for specific therapeutic support.
