Featured Student: Nidhi
Nidhi’s yoga journey is one of transformation, humor, and heart. Since stepping into Crave nearly four years ago, she’s completed over 300 classes, found strength through motherhood, and turned her practice into a lifeline of self-care. Her story is a beautiful reminder that yoga meets us exactly where we are, and sometimes, the ultimate goal really is just a good nap in savasana 😴
❓ How long have you been practicing yoga?
🧘 This is my fourth year of practicing yoga, all with Crave Yoga. I took a year’s break to have a baby, then got back to the studio five months postpartum. It was difficult to stay away for long.
❓ What sparked your initial interest?
🧘 Pains, pains, and more pains. I had my fair share of aches, some because of injuries, others because of my sedentary lifestyle. I was constantly going to physiotherapists and chiropractors. Doctors and even non-doctors started asking, “Have you thought of Yoga?” This caught my attention. All those years, I kind of hated yoga. Not because I didn’t like it, rather because I didn’t know how to do it. Starting it in a class of 100 made it worse.
❓ Do you have a favorite yoga class? If so, what makes it stand out for you?
🧘 This is such a difficult question. This is like picking a favorite color from a rainbow or a favorite dish from a buffet. Can I pick like four? Each one stands out for me! There’s Joni’s slow flow that gives deep relaxation – my Sundays and Mondays with her. Or Kelsey’s Friday’s super relaxing seasonal cleanse infused with a sound bath and Koshi chime. Then there’s Helena’s pampering Flow & Restore – essential oils, hot stones, teas, eye pillows, chants; her classes are better than a spa session. And there’s Misha’s passionate Vinyasa Flow aka “Pigeon-o-clock” and head-to-toe relaxation! Why pick a favorite when I can savor them all? 😊
❓ What aspects of your yoga practice do you find most fulfilling?
🧘 Of course, a well-earned Savasana!
Nidhi, thank you for sharing your story. From overcoming pain to showing up for over 300 classes (WOW!)your commitment, humor, and heart shine through. 👏🏼
