Pragathi Yoga

Happy to be part of YogaGivesBack eight limbs relay. It felt like a good self reflection on my practice and felt honored to talk about where I am in my practice. I would like to tag my friends Sonya Om Tania Villegas - Reiki Master | Accessible Yoga Yogiraj Utkarsh | CEO | TEDEx Speaker to continue the relay. YGB has always been a great focal point of my practice on and off the mat. A lot of my energy in terms of thoughts,actions and words has been dedicated to YGB’s mission lately. Happy to be a niswardha sevak (selfless volunteer) and supporter in giving back.

This International Yoga Day was special in so many ways.

I had the honor of leading the Ministry of AYUSH Common Yoga Protocol and witnessing sadhakas from different paths of yoga come together as one—Jnana, Karma, Raja, and Bhakti Yoga.

A heartfelt thank you to the Consulate General of India in Los Angeles , Loyola Marymount University and the World Yoga Federation for bringing this beautiful event together.

Special thanks to for this wonderful initiative. I truly hope this becomes an annual tradition.

It was a privilege to represent Yoga Gives Back , a path I have inevitably chosen as my way of serving my motherland. To me, Yoga Gives Back represents the world’s collective thank-you note to India for the timeless gift of yoga.

And finally, thank you Leilani, , for always being my best partner on the mat. 🙏🧘.

Gita Jayanthi and Mokshada ekadasi wishes to all ! A beautiful day to give gratitude to timeless wisdom of Gita 🙏🏽

Deepavali is a reminder that even the smallest light can dispel the darkest shadow.

Gurupoornima wishes to everyone from a place rooted in unconditional love and care - Deenabandhu trust Chamarajmagar.

Thanks to Kayoko Mitsumatsu for making Father’s Day yoga session fundraiser special by talking about YGB and inspiring us to live yoga beyond the mat. Thanks to my dear students who are practicing with me for the past few years and contributed to the cause and mission.

Many thanks to GRMA Canada for having me on the special occasion of International yoga day.

So grateful to be able to give back in little ways I can !

TT time ! These ladies are about to graduate and live their sankalpa.

I am back . That was a good social media break to focus on the many projects that I wanted to complete !

I had been learning more, teaching less and focusing on continuing education.
Neurofeedback, somatic experiencing, polyvagal theory, havening, trauma informed yoga were some of the therapy modalities that I was gaining good hands on experience on.l am grateful for my supervisors Dr Mednick and Dr Kristen for guiding me. Can’t contain this passion 💕
It’s true that the path reveals itself as you walk it.

So profound !

On this Vidyarambham day my dear student Pavithra started her teacher training journey. For the next one year we will be immersing ourselves in deeper study of yoga philosophy, asana, anatomy and a topic that Pavithra is passionate about, Yoga for women.

When one teaches , two learns. Looking forward to what we mutually learn and eventually what Pavithra offers to this world. So excited for her to be joining me on this journey.
