January Group Yoga Class 2022
I had something really special planned for this batch. I thought of collaborating with some of my friends who also happen to be professionals in their respective field.
Introducing Guest No. 3:
Dr. Saili Mahadik.
A Psychiatrist by profession, Saili has done her MBBS from GMC and JJ Hospital, and has done her post-graduation in Psychiatry from Seth GSMC and KEM Hospital. She is currently working as a senior resident in LTMH and Sion Hospital. In addition to this, she has worked closely with COVID patients as a consultant, both in ICU and wards, during which she practised yoga as a way to destress.
She is a strong believer of _mens sana in corpore sano_ - a sound mind in a sound body. Being a mental health professional, she understands how important physical activity is to keep the mind functioning optimally.
As someone who encourages yoga practice for neuroses & psychoses alike, she joined our Yoga batch to explain to us, with evidence-based knowledge, how yoga therapy can be a great supplement in aiding with recovery from depression, anxiety, and for rehabilitation in substance use disorders and even psychotic disorders.
Her advice has helped us to understand the delicate balance between the mind and the body, and how we can work to be the best version of ourselves.
