What inspires you most when teaching students?
My personal teaching style revolves around the overall wellness of a person and not just limited to Asanas. Hence in my class, I include a mix of philosophy, pranayama, Dharana, Dhyana in addition to asanas. The one thing that my students can’t expect from my class is a routine / pattern as I try to keep each of my class different from the other. I emphasize on body, breathing and mind in each asana of my class.

When I realised I was ready to share my love for yoga with others, then I started acquiring certifications to become a qualified teacher.
