As a cordial yoga instructor, I believe in creating a calming aura where the student and teacher can learn from each other. Also, my gentle and intermediate Hatha yoga classes are carefully and creatively designed to incorporate adjustments to suit individuals' goals and needs, including fine balance of strength, balance, flexibility, agility, mindfulness, breathwork,body-mind connection, & relaxation. Hey everyone, this is Shikha. After a decade-plus career in corporate marketing spanning multiple sectors, I chose to become a Yoga teacher and enter the broader health and wellness sector. My yoga journey started as a self-practitioner about ten years ago. The motivation was intensely personal - amidst the chaos and hustle of a corporate career, I was trying to find mental & physical well-being. Having experienced the transformative impact on my health through my regular practice, I underwent 600 + hours of intense professional training to learn yoga's physical, mental and spiritual dimensions. I finally became a full-time, professionally qualified Hatha Yoga teacher. So if you want to recover mentally and physically, look no further….and book your class today with me for a holistic healing experience.
