My interest in yoga is both professional and deeply personal; it’s opened my eyes to how the body and breath can be harnessed and harmonised to empower us.

I come from a South Indian background and grew up listening to the mythology behind our poses, so I love incorporating some storytelling into my flows. My classes encourage a mindful, compassionate relationship with movement.
