Yoga Teacher · Somatic Movement Educator · Retreat Facilitator

I lead yoga retreats, teach yoga philosophy, alignment, and embodied practice to upcoming yoga teachers at a TTC in Goa, and I also lead my own movement method classes – Mandala Method Yoga.

Raised in India within yoga philosophy and practice, I have lived with yoga as an embodied tradition rather than a technique. What began as a personal daily practice in my twenties has matured into a grounded teaching path shaped by decades of movement, study, and lived integration.

My work blends classical yoga, pranayama, somatic intelligence, and nervous system awareness — emphasizing sensing over shape, and presence over performance. I guide students and teachers into movement as a way of listening, regulating, and returning to coherence.

Out of this journey emerged Mandala Method — a ritual movement practice integrating circular yoga flow, breath, sound, and subtle mantra. Rooted in rhythm and embodiment, it supports clarity, integration, and collective attunement.

Across classes, trainings, and retreats, I create spaces that are steady, nourishing, and precise — inviting people to meet themselves honestly, move intelligently, and live with greater alignment.
