It was full moon a couple of nights ago as I guided my last online session for 2025 before my travels to India.
Guiding these Moon Meditations past 5+ years has been one of the best highlights of my month. Lately, even my husband and atleast 3-4 Yoga teachers join me and that gives me immense joy. As Yoga teachers, we give our energy to the students so receiving that energy through such practices is a blessing.
I feel so grateful receiving such feedback from all who joined me thanks to the blessings of my teachers who have guided me well:
- - Thank you as always for such a lovely moon meditation. I fell asleep after the session and hence didn’t message. I was feeling a bit uneasy all of yesterday and after the session I could see that shift. It was so calming and soothing. Thank you !
- - Thanks Nirmala, I enjoyed your sessions. Your voice is very soothing.
- - A Beautiful practice this evening - I just wanted to express my thanks. I was outside under a beautifully lit moon and always wished to find deeper connection on beautiful evenings such as tonight. Your practice was so beautifully led and the most powerful practice under the moon I’ve enjoyed. Sometimes it takes the right person to shift us into a beautiful sadhana which I will continue to practice. I wish you a very beautiful time away & may the Divine always bless you.
- - Dear Nirmala, Thank you so much for the beautiful meditation yesterday.
- - Last night’s full moon was incredible. I ended up sitting outside on the decking, for a late virtual guided meditation. The light of the Full moon softly pouring through the pagoda over my being, felt calm and expansive all at once. 😌 Nirmala guided us virtually, but it somehow felt like we were all sitting together under that same luminous sky, with meditation being gentle and grounding… such a peaceful way to end the day. 🌕✨

Namaste, Hope everyone had a good weekend and enjoyed the pleasant weather.
You all are warmly invited to attend these two talks at the Harrow Arts Center. This is a once in a life time opportunity.
I have been learning under Swamiji & Swaminiji for close to a decade. Swamiji lived and learned in Rishikesh - the very source of this unbroken knowledge. I owe everything I know, thanks to both Swamiji and Swamini B as she is fondly addressed.
Even if you are a bit curious about deeper dimensions of yoga which can transform your life forever, please attend on one, or preferably both days or all days of the talks. If you have any questions, message me. 🙂
Look forward to your enthusiastic participation which will encourage such mahatmas like Swamiji to visit us more often and spread this divine knowledge.
Please RSVP using the link below. Also spread word amongst your contacts.

Namaste Everyone,
Thanks to collaborating with Soham Yoga London, I have been covering these Tuesday morning Chair Yoga sessions for the past one month.
I had fun this week working on core strength, balance and legs strength. My mom is also a participant so it feels nice to keep her healthy along with serving the community at large in North Harrow.

Namaste Everyone,
I held the Moon Meditation last night after a long break. It felt very relaxing as I started these meditations during the pandemic for myself. I thought why not serve the community as a whole who would benefit....
I am glad I resumed again. I am sharing the feedback of last night's Moon Meditation as this morning the regulars messaged me.
I highly encourage especially Yoga Teachers who are on my friends list to join me regularly on a monthly basis. We give a lot of our energy while we teach so it is important to get back that energy through these practices from the comfort of our homes.
The next Moon Meditation will be held on June 10, 2025 Tuesday evening at 9PM. Please share with friends or family who you think might benefit if you cannot join.
I only need to know if that person is joining if they e-mail me at yogalifeglobalnirmalaiyer@gmail.com so I can share the zoom details that morning.

Namaste Everyone,
It has been a while since I posted. I have been busy in travels, trainings (group pic along with my teacher Norman Blair), teaching and exploring new styles of yoga - more recently Yin Yoga. :)
Tonight I am holding the monthly Moon Meditation as it was Full Moon earlier this week on Monday.

I started my Yoga Journey a little over a decade ago and after 4 years of practicing as a student, I wanted to deepen my understanding of Yoga as a therapeutic way of life, egged on by the lower back pain that a few family members (across age groups) were dealing with!
In August 2014 I completed my International Yoga Teachers Training Certificate under my Yoga Guru, Pundit Radheshyam Mishra from Yoga Life Global India. In parallel I also got introduced to scriptural study, pursuing the study of the Bhagavad Gita under a qualified Guru (teacher).
My teaching journey commenced in 2014 at the Yoga Bharati, San Jose CA. I pursued this journey once I moved to London, taking weekly classes and teaching at organized workshops;I also helped several yoga teachers in a teacher training course that finished in Oct. 2020 assisting my senior teacher who has been my mentor since my move.
My teaching style focuses not just on body awareness, strength & flexibility, but also on coordination of breath with stretching of the physical body. I use a lot of chanting, sounds and Pranayama which induces energy & quietude. I also complement my practice with techniques for relaxation of the body & mind prescribed by the Yoga Institute,Mumbai, India. My students have often told me I have a calming voice, cheerful disposition and I make yoga accessible to everyone. I adapt my classes to suit the age group that I am teaching and I am comfortable with students aged 5 to 80 years old.
My holistic yoga journey has been fulfilling, healing so many people from all walks of life and in all corners of the globe (Singapore/Australia/Mauritius/India/UK/USA). In an effort to make this path accessible to as many people, and more so in the times of this pandemic I have taken my journey online:
Presently teaching online with hip openers & core strength with my understanding from the Patanjali Yoga Sutras on the values:
Monday morning class with emphasis on Asanas along with Mantras and Pranayama.
Monday evening class with emphasis on Deep Rest & Relaxation (Yoga Nidra).
Wednesday evening class with emphasis on Restorative Asanas, Mantras and Pranayama.
Friday evening class - monthly Moon Meditations.
My classes helps not only physically but also mental chanting of mantras aids in concentration as well as tranquility. When the mind is at peace, the body is relaxed and therefore, healthy. I also explain the meanings of the mantras that I chant along with the benefits associated with each asana practice.
