A Journey- From Student To Teacher

One day while watching the gorgeous sunset from my balcony in UAE (where I have moved to recently), my twenty years of association with The Yoga Institute just rolled like a movie reel in front of my eyes.

One day while watching the gorgeous sunset from my balcony in UAE (where I have moved to recently), my twenty years of association with The Yoga Institute just rolled like a movie reel in front of my eyes.

I landed at The Yoga Institute in 1995 because I had cervical spondylosis and my orthopaedic doctor had advised me to meet Smt. Hansaji and seek her help. I remember the day I met Hansaji. It was such a delightful moment for me. Hansaji was clad in a beautiful yellow sari, wearing her usual welcoming smile. I found her to be soft spoken, graceful and respectful, a perfect role model one would look for in life. Her words touched me so deeply and her caring presence affected me so intensely that I was prepared to discipline myself. Soon I joined the Institute and from there began my journey of self development.
