My Yoga Story
#myyogastory I stumbled upon a Yoga class 22 years ago when I was working full time as a CPA. Being born and raised in India where Yoga, in one form or another, is embedded in the culture and lifestyle, I was surprised and delighted to be in a formal yoga class. I felt a sense…
What's your reason to "Not do Yoga"
I have had a bad experience in a Yoga class. I never want to do that again. Have you ever bought a bad pair of shoes? Do you stop buying shoes because of that? All shoes are not build the same; all Yoga is not the same! Just because you’ve had a bad experience…
How to Develop a Safe Yoga Practice!
The recent article in NY times, “How Yoga can wreck your body” has stirred up a lot of dialogue in the yoga community. On one hand I am glad that this article came about as it has necessitated an open conversation, on the other hand I think that it may deter some people from trying…
Welcome the New Year by Letting Go!
The whole of human life is a process of letting go. As children, we let go of old friends to make room for new ones, let go of our parent’s homes to make our own mark in the world. We let go of old for the sake of the new, we let go of our…
Meditation Misconceptions
As widespread as the practice of meditation is becoming, it still remains a mystery for many of us. As I pondered upon the resistance that many of us have regarding meditation, it dawned on my that more than the fear of the unknown, there is a mental block due to many misconceptions about meditation. Here…
The Business of Yoga
With so many twists, turns and amalgamations, we have come far with the business of Yoga! Overemphasis on one limb, asanas(body postures), and at the best, confused and superficial application of the other limbs leaves the real purpose of Yoga far behind. Yes, the real and true practice remains an illusion. And as a teacher,…
Drishti – From Old Notes
Our attention is the most valuable thing we have, and the visible world can be an addictive, over stimulating and spiritually debilitating lure. There are billions of dollars spent in marketing on visual image and the value of our attention. In Yoga, we use drishti (yogic gaze) to redirect our eyes and our focus. In traditional…

In the Service of Life – By Rachel Naomi Remen
A great read I came across that I wanted to share……..! In recent years the question “How can I help?” has become meaningful to many people. But perhaps there is a deeper question we might consider. Perhaps the real question is not “How can I help?” But “How can I serve?” Serving is different from…
Kundalini Yoga holds the power to transform
We have been in the transition from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age for the last 50 years. Aquarian Age is the age of wisdom, knowledge and information. For the next 2000 Years we will be in the Aquarian Age. During this age, the focus is no longer on our identity and existence, but…
Yoga goes Mainstream
Due to the undeniable positive results of practicing Yoga, this 5000-year-old holistic practice has become mainstream with close to 23 million practitioners in US alone. Of the current non-practitioners, 44.4 percent call themselves “aspirational yogis”—people who are interested in trying yoga. 30% of practitioners are males. Yoga is no longer just for the fit and…
Overcoming Fear
My last article addressed the issue of love and fear. It is my hope that it helped us separate when we operate out of love and when we operate out of fear. It is not fun or comfortable being in fear and it is definitely not easy to overcome it. This article will address how…
