Saw this line in a book and found it so beautiful:There are a hundred ways to be a mother,only one of which is to give birth

                                             PARTNER YOGA SESSION AT OMKAAR

   

7th nov-had a partner yoga class today-wonderful way to open up and stretch our body keeping in mind the comfort leval and capacity of our partner-mindful yoga!




Saturday-13th oct-Anuradha and i started classes with children-eve 5.00 to 6.00 pm-was such fun teaching them-children are so spontaneous ,full of energy and ready to learn!looking forward to the next class already!

classes with children are so different-their energy really carries the class forward!enjoy myself thoroughly with the kids

Just completed another therapy training module-reinstates the belief that yoga teaches you so beautifully to connect with yourself-helps you to understand every nuance in your personality,your body and gives you the knowledge that you are the most important person in your life-truely accept this statement and notice the change......

In the middle of another module of the YOGA VAHINI teacher training-yoga therapy course.Its like a vast ocean out there-so much to learn and so much to give.I can only offer gratitude to the higher energy around us which has guided me to this path.

started classes for children again-the best stress buster is to just let go and be one amongst them!really enjoy the kids so much,and how fast they learn.will be teaching as long as their holidays last.trying to get them to learn asanas through stories and also to learn the sanskrit terms.getting them to involve their moms too so that its more of an interactive experience!!

i,m so enjoying teaching the children at omkaar.Another place i,ve started teaching children is at my friends hospital which is connected to handling psychological wellness.i,m teaching autistic children there with the help of a couple of friends.is so heartening when they remember us and the little things we try to teach them.Makes us realise how easily we take life and health for granted.


aug18th2013
been going regularly to teach the autistic kids-chanting seems to help calm them.another thing is repititive asanas.didnt know i even had it in me to reach out to these children-but once you are with them you just feel that they are like any other child-maybe even more innocent.

joined a group of friends who have been helping out at an orphanage.been going regularly since.the babies are so tiny-all they want is to be cuddled and loved.i really believe that the path of yoga is taking me towards what i love the most-being with children .its an experience totally different from what most of us have been in ,i,m thankful that we friends have come together this way
 

nov28-
had an advanced yoga workshop conducted byROHIT from delhi-all the asanas taught made one aspect v clear-absolut understanding of your physical body in connection with your breath

         THE POWER OF YOGA!

"YOGA KINDLES OUR HEART TO AWAKEN,TO FEEL MORE DEEPLY,BOLDLY,AND COLORFULLY THE PRECIOUSNESS OF BEING HUMAN"

yoga is the only practise that works on the endocrine and nervous system-the tool used being our breath!

As a diamond has many facets reflecting various prisms of light,so does the word YOGA.Each facet produces varying shades of colours which can be aspects of the entire range of complex human desire to harness inner peace, health and happiness-B.K.S IYENGAR.

The above statement by one of the reknown masters of yoga gives us a beautiful insight into the world of Hatha yoga-the Eight fold path of Yoga wherin the ultimate goal is Self realisation.

The true measure of your practise is to be mentally present,maintain awareness of the whole body and have a calm and steady breath

Namaste

In September 2010, I made my dream of starting my own yoga studio a reality. The terrace of my house was large, surrounded by trees, and I knew it would make a great studio. A few discussions with friends and family, and my studio started taking shape. I wanted it to be a serene, cheerful place - perfect for leaving one's stresses behind and getting in touch with one's inner self through the power of yoga. So I chose a bright yellow for the walls, with large picture windows and surrounded the balconies with flowering plants. I would like to add that my studio fell so beautifully into place thanks to the help of a few friends without whose help my dream could not have materialized so beautifully.

I named it Omkaar. 

Omkaar - or 'Om' as we popularly know it - is the sound of the universe and a chant central to yoga. 

It has been a wonderful journey so far, and it has given me a new sense of purpose and peace. I wake up each morning looking forward to the day and go to sleep with a sense of enriching fulfillment. Through this blog, I will share with you my thoughts, as well as updates about what I teach, the studio, the events I conduct and the inspirational material I come across on the web. 

Do leave your thoughts behind in the comments. :-) 

Here are a few photos of my studio:
