With age and awareness gradually, I started practising yoga initially for a healthier lifestyle. Self-practice turned into curiosity, and I decided to give a professional edge to my yoga training. Rishikesh became my first choice and most convenient, so I enrolled in a certified yoga instructor course. Rishikesh gave me the opportunity to learn different styles of yoga with various yoga masters in one place. My journey continued with an opportunity to teach in India, and later, I went to Spain to teach yoga
