💫 I went to India to learn Yoga… and found my heritage instead ♥️
As a British Indian, I always admired my culture. My parents made every effort to keep us connected. From regular trips to India to visit family, to mums home cooked Indian cuisine, vibrant Holi and Diwali gatherings, the connection to music or the occasional Bollywood hit movie. Yet, even with all this, I often felt like something was missing…
When I travelled India for a yoga teacher training, I never expected to become so immersed in the rich, layered culture of my heritage. The energies I experienced there created a profound connection - not only to Yoga, but to my roots in a way I had never felt before.
Now my daily practise feels like more than movement or breathwork. It feels like a reconnection - to myself, to my ancestors, and to something deeply personal and timeless.
I often wonder if others in the diaspora feel the same - connected, yet still longing. Perhaps Yoga is that missing link for you too 🌟
