My practice has evolved from shaky beginnings to a source of strength, especially through the challenges of motherhood. ## Photos and videos - ![This picture is from the very first yoga class I ever taught, with students from PES University.

For a long time, my practice was just showing up for ten minutes, even on the days I felt like a total mess. That consistency, rather than perfection, is the only thing that actually changed my life and helped me find my way back to myself after becoming a mom. My journey began ten years ago at PES University, where I walked into my first class feeling unsure and a bit shaky. Back then, yoga felt like something I had to perform correctly. It took years, a career transition from a 9-to-5 job, and the life-altering experience of becoming a mother to realize that yoga is not about how the pose looks—it is about how it makes you feel. After delivery, my brain chemistry shifted. I had to learn how to be kind to my body again, even when simple things like headstands felt scary. I stopped chasing aesthetics and started focusing on sustainability. This realization birthed my current approach: merging asana with self-hypnosis and mindful living. I don’t believe in crash diets or strict, joyless rules. I believe in practicing sahi tareeke se (the right way) so you can actually enjoy the movement. Whether you are a beginner looking to understand your body, a new mother trying to heal postpartum, or someone struggling with PCOS, my programs are built on the lessons I learned in those ten years. We cover: * **Fat Loss & Hormone Reset:** A 12-week program combining diet recipes, mindset coaching, and targeted movement. * **Postpartum Recovery:** Gentle, safe practices to help you reconnect with your core. * **Mindful Eating:** Learning to nourish yourself without the guilt. My classes are live and interactive, not pre-recorded, because I want us to practice in real-time. If you are ready to show up for yourself—even for just ten minutes a day—you are already doing it. ## About Preeti Kalia I am Preeti. I don't teach yoga to make you look good for a photo. I teach it because after a decade of practice and navigating motherhood, I know that showing up is the only real magic. Let's practice, breathe, and actually feel better, together.
