ABOUT
I was born in Karnataka, India and did corporate jobs before moving to the United States 16 years ago. The first 7 years were spent raising kids and learning yoga to heal my body. I live with my husband, 2 boys ages 17 and 13 with our dog Murphy.
In this virtual space, I continue trying to inspire you to connect back to earth, to your kitchen, to your body and to your mind.
YOGA
I teach yoga in various studios in Ellicott city, Maryland along with seasonal workshops which are themed around yoga philosophy, chanting, pranayama and Asana. The continuous study of Yoga philosophy has helped to understand and make sense of this crazy life. As a child, I was not athletic nor had discipline but everyday Yoga practice healed my body and instilled a sincerity toward life which inspired me to teach this life changing practice.
VEGETARIAN COOKING
Indian food is known for its diverse cuisine, spice blends and cooking with scientific (ayurvedic) and seasonal produce. In ancient India, regional food habits were primarily based on a holistic approach to nutrition as required by local people which suited their jobs, lifestyle and health needs.
The wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda teaches us to be mindful of what, when and how we eat. If you want to start on this of understanding your body type, foods to eat and other daily rituals,contact for group or private sessions.
GARDENING
I love to garden, cook the gifts of nature and share the abundance with my friends and neighbors. Though I miss my family and home country very much, I am grateful for this wonderful life we have created here. The way strangers embraced me and welcomed us to their home here in America, I am attempting to create a community with love for life, yoga, garden, food and friendship.
