Yoga has profoundly changed my life, helping me navigate a wide range of challenges—from years of suffering with constipation, managing stress, giving birth twice, moving to a new country, raising kids and menopause. Through it all, yoga has been my grounding force, allowing me to observe my mind and body without judgment, love myself, accept change, and view the world with compassion. I began my journey with Sivananda yoga and later transitioned to Vijnana yoga, which deepened my practice with a focus on inner listening, quieting the mind, and moving with intention and grace. Vijnana yoga has been a transformative path for me, guiding me through life's ebb and flow with calm, strength, and awareness.

Vijnana Yoga was founded by Orit Sen Gupta and is built on seven foundational principles that guide the practice: relaxation, quieting the mind, intention, rooting, connecting, breathing, and expanding. These principles create a holistic approach, focusing not only on physical movement but also on cultivating inner awareness and balance. Vijnana Yoga emphasizes listening to the body, moving with a quiet mind, and connecting deeply with breath and energy. It encourages practitioners to find strength through softness and stability through flexibility, helping to bring harmony to both body and mind in every posture and moment.
