From visiting the temples, lighting diyas, stories from the scriptures and listening to kirtans on the radio - my childhood unknowingly planted the seeds of yoga

The physical practice of yoga entered into my life as a school subject. It felt fun, flexible and new. I only practiced to improve my flexibility, thinking that this is what progress meant in yoga. The deeper aspects remained untouched.

For most of my 20’s, I was modelling professionally. A space that celebrated image, form, and outward expression - But even as I moved through this fast paced world, yoga remained my quiet anchor. Practicing asanas, following online classes, and exploring movement on my own kept me grounded. Though I was immersed in a profession built on appearances, yoga was my reminder of what lay beneath the surface — it refined me in stillness, and gently pulled me inward, closer to who I truly was.

In August of 2023, I enrolled for my 200 hr TTC where I finally began to understand the full and deeper meaning of yoga. I was not just practicing yoga, but embodying it now

Every lesson I’d learnt was suddenly put to the test when my father’s cancer returned. Yoga became my refuge, the Gita my guide and every breath a silent prayer. In the quiet between hospital visits, I discovered yoga’s truest power.

I taught my first class in Varkala, India - not as someone who had mastered yoga but as someone humbly beginning to share its light. In 2024 I started teaching regular online classes, showing up from home, connecting with others around the globe.

A shoulder dislocation forced me to pause. I couldn’t practice asana the way I used to — but yoga showed up in stillness, breath, and surrender. I taught and practiced with one arm, and with a full heart.

Out of every moment - the pain, the peace, the breath, the becoming - came Ahamflow. A space to slow down, to listen, to remember who you are. A space to simply be.
