Like any other woman, I was also juggling lot of responsibilities in my life. Not only was I a wife to a supporting husband, but also a mother to two young girls who needed constant attention, like any other children. A lot of their early life, I dedicated my time and full attention to their well-being and growth. As fulfilling being a mother and wife was, I still felt this emptiness that I couldn’t fill. As much as I appreciated my lifestyle, I also wanted something new, something that was just for me.

It was around the time my youngest turned 3, when I thought I need to give myself the chance to take up a new challenge that will motivate me to become the best and most happiest version of myself.

After a lot of time thinking and exploring the different career choices, I couldn’t fixate on one as I felt like it didn’t internally satisfy me, i was looking for something more creative, peaceful and flexible for my lifestyle, something that unfortunately a 9-5pm job couldn’t do.

I knew growing up I’ve always had this innate passion for yoga but I didn’t know how to take this further. Being so new to this industry, I knew I needed more than just childhood experience, to be able to succeed in this area.

I took this devotion further and chose to dedicate the little time I had for myself, as I knew deep down that yoga is the only way that helps me connect with myself and if I’m able to do this, I know I can help many others take this enlightening path.

It took a lot of time, knowledge, classes and extra research to be able to go from the basics to much complex studies of yoga. It’s not only a form of exercise, but a way to link our human biology to different practises. It’s a way to connect three cores; body, mind and soul.

October 2015. A key month to remember, around this month I met a phenomenal yoga master named Santosh, who was such an inspiration to me. I felt motivated to work harder and eventually completed 250 hours of YTTC with YOGADARHANAM INSTITUE OF MYSORE ( based in India). He enabled me with key skills needed as a yoga teacher which consist of nutritional, spiritual, physical and anatomical skills. This journey brought a sense of tranquility within me. I knew this was the beginning of a major transformation in my life.

After months of regular practise of yoga, I decided to complete 100 hours of yoga therapy at YOGADARSHANAM in 2016.

Though my experience may sound simple and easy, I can assure you it wasn’t, everyone had their hurdles but yoga has taught me that patience is key.

I started this journey as any other normal housewife and mother, now 5 years later, a woman that is not only a yoga teacher but a yoga therapist, who aims to help people with their mental and physical health issues.
