My Story

I’m a Classical Hatha Yoga teacher living in Kent, UK, on a mission to share Classical Hatha Yoga. My life was deeply impacted by my time at the ashram and through Hatha Yoga Abode, I’m dedicated to bringing these transformative practices to more people. Below is a deep dive into how I got here.

    Hatha Yoga Teacher since 2023

    After graduating with a degree in Economics and then a Master’s in Finance from Imperial College in 2020, I entered the fast-paced world of finance. I was sure I would spend the next decade of my life immersed in the rat race. But life had other plans for me. After 4 years, my heart and mind was yearning for a change. I was looking to explore life more deeply, explore the roots and take a step back in time. And I knew that Yoga, with its 15,000 year old origin, was the correct place to start.

    So in 2023, I left my job and traveled to India for an intensive 1,750+ hour Classical Hatha Yoga teacher training at the Isha Yoga Centre, founded by Sadhguru. The experience was life-changing—both personally transformative and deeply fulfilling as I saw others benefit. I explored dimensions of life I was never aware of and suddenly life became deeply fascinating to me on a different level. Most importantly, I learnt that Yoga wasn’t just a set of stretching exercises but it was a tool of Life, so that no matter what the external circumstances, you can create happiness within yourself.

    Having witnessed the profound impact of these ancient practices, I took the leap into teaching. In today’s fast-paced world, where mental health struggles are widespread, I believe these time-tested tools offer a rare path to true well-being. My goal is to help others take that first step.

    I offer practices to benefit a range of different needs. Everything I offer is tailor made to meet the needs of a variety of people. Whether you’re suffering from particular health ailments, are looking to tackle burnout or are a mother to be, I’m confident that these practices can make a difference for you.
