My Personal Journey

'Breath' was something that I took very casually a few years back, till the day I stepped on my “2 by 6” mat to start the DIVINE art of Breathing through postures - YOGA! Yoga has indeed come to me as a blessing in my life. As days passed by in doing my ABHYASAS, I realized that my practice was just not for my physical body and that Yoga was BEYOND - larger than life. As Flexibility flowed in me like a beautiful stream through my asanas, the 'fragrance' of Yoga was sensed by me in a subtle form. The transformation in my mind was so gradual, just like the bloom of a flower. An hour of Yoga was what I looked for every single day. As the majority of my day was spent in my outer routine life, the time spent in my "inner world” became very SACRED to me. That precious hour made me realize the power of YOGA, PRANAYAMA and MEDITATION.

Through the process of trying to master my asanas and my breath, I have learnt “how to listen to my body and when to stop pushing myself, yet gradually, consistently progressing!” This is the art of balancing that we need to master in our journey of life. Listening to our 'Inner voice' becomes very easy when we learn to PAUSE and listen to our body. Learning to balance our breath through every asana, we master to BALANCE our life-to stay grounded and to fly.

As years passed by, I became more aware of my inner self - That which needed nourishment -That which needed the divine strength. My inner dialogue became very clear through my meditations. Learning to PAUSE and still my mind for a few minutes became a priority in my life. As we strengthen ourselves within, we are able to face any circumstances that pass our way -be it good or bad. To see goodness in every situation becomes an art that we learn to practice in our day-to-day lives.

Every breathing technique and Every Asana - be it SAMASTHITI, forward bends, inverted postures or back bends have taught me how to Balance-when to ‘hold on’ and when to ‘let go’.

Today, as I practice Yoga, each asana, each breath, each meditation has become a prayer which is sent out to the universe and in return, heals my energies - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Healing within has now become ‘a way of life’ for me.
