🇮🇳 What does a yogi look like?
A yogi is, traditionally, a seeker, who dedicates their life to their sadhana (spiritual path). Maybe a recluse, living in a cave, perhaps meditating & fasting. Certainly very removed from society.
While we can’t refer to all yoga students as yogis (hello beer yoga 🍺🍺), we can see how yogis nowadays are far from the traditional descriptions/expectations of skinny ash-covered men living in caves.
Yogis in this day and age are just like my beautiful friends from NIMHANS. They are young women who have an active role in society, dedicated to studying, practicing and disseminating yoga and from whom I learn so much every day. All of them have been formally studying yoga (our 200H TTC do not compare!) for 6+ years, and they are in their early twenties.
Yogis come in many shapes and forms but they all respect the roots of the practice and do their best to apply it to these crazy 😵‍💫 times.
Thank you for expanding my horizons and humbling me every day with your knowledge ❤️

🍷🍺 in the last two months I haven’t had many drinks, in fact, all I had was a small beer in New Year’s Eve during a cooking class.
Not that I have consciously decided that I am going to be “sober” but the social situations that would lead to a glass of wine or two, haven’t presented themselves since I came to 🇮🇳. The attitude towards drinking is very different here, you’re either sober or seem to drink to oblivion.
This new “sobriety” made me realise how for me, having a drink is purely a social activity, shared with friends. It might have given me more energy to keep dancing, or made me feel more at ease in a big group setting but the overarching feeling is that it makes me feel part of something. Which other tools can I cultivate to create this feeling?
I will be having countless 🍷 to celebrate when I am back but for now, this is an interesting shift that I am exploring.

A recent study showed that in rural India, only 17% of pregnant women practiced yoga in pregnancy AND that practicing yoga was associated with higher education and being a professional (what we’d call “white collar”). Interesting how in a completely different social context, in a different continent, the stats are quite similar to the ones in the west! Who would have thought?

🇬🇧 London IS my cup of tea! 🫖
I moved to Sheffield in the UK in the last year of my BSc for a biomedical research placement. This was January 2012.
Then years later, about 15 flats later, a PhD and a dog, I’m still here 🇬🇧 in London, loving this city!
London feels like home to me, where is yours?

✨How do you start your morning meditation? ✨
I have a corner of my office at home, with a meditation cushion, a candle, crystals, palo santo and other objects that help me create a space to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of my life.
Creating this space helps me stick to my commitment of meditating every morning before I start my day.
I have to be honest, when I am on holiday/away from home I really struggle to stay on track.
Have you created a space in your home that you can retreat to & meditate?

🧘 What is advanced yoga?
I was listening to the this morning on the way to work and the concept that stuck with me was that advanced yoga is when you dream yoga, breathe yoga and yoga becomes part of who you are and how you perceive the world.
So much for the advanced vinyasa classes out there, huh?
When the focus is to achieve something with the body to get validation and sense of belonging, are you really doing a spiritual practice?

🔎 Mistakes that most yoga students have and will make!
I was guilty of all of them myself, in different moments of my yoga journey and I would say that #3 is particularly relevant as we practice in groups in studios & gyms where the emphasis on the physical practice is so great!
Which one resonates the most with you? Let me know in the comments!

🇮🇳 Travels to faraway places after dissolving my previous life... feels like a lifetime ago. There is so much liberation when you're facing the debris of what was and the blank canvas of what will be.
