Cultivating Lifelong Wellness Through Yoga, Mindfulness, Meditation & Healthy Living
A peaceful educational space created to help you move, breathe, reflect and build healthier daily rhythms—without pressure, extremes or unrealistic promises.
Start where you are
No flexibility, fitness or experience assumed.
Built around conditions
Back care, hormonal health, recovery from injury.
Studio and online
Kolkata in person, live classes across time zones.
Ayurveda informed
What happens off the mat counts just as much.
the long view
Wellness is not a destination. It is a lifelong companion.
Nothing here asks you to overhaul your life by Monday. A practice is built out of ordinary days — the ten minutes before the house wakes, the walk you choose over the scroll, the meal you sit down for. Kept up, those small things outlast every intensive programme I have ever seen.
what we practice together
Programs shaped around real bodies and real lives
Every session blends movement, breath, and stillness — sequenced with care, never forced.
Aromatherapy Yoga
Movement paired with pure essential oils to calm the nervous system and gently release held emotion.
Restorative & Yin
Slow, supported shapes held with props — quieting the mind and rebuilding flexibility from the ground up.
Meditation & Mudra
Stillness practices and hand gestures drawn from classical yogic and Ayurvedic tradition.
Ayurvedic Nutrition
Food as medicine — eating for your constitution, your season, and your energy, without rigid rules.
Pranayama & Breathwork
Learn to steady the breath — and watch the mind grow steadier with it.

how I work
A calm, responsible approach
Four things I hold to, so you know what you are walking into before you write to me.
The choice stays yours
Nothing here is a prescription. You are told what a practice is for and what it asks of you, then you decide whether it is the season for it.
Clear about origins
Where a practice comes from, which tradition, and what I have adapted for a modern body. Where a link earns me something, it says so.
No cures promised
Yoga eases a great deal and fixes nothing overnight. If something needs a doctor, I will tell you so rather than sequence around it.
You can always ask
Every message reaches me, not an assistant. Questions before booking are welcome and cost nothing.

before you write
Questions I am asked most
If yours is not here, send it.
I have never done yoga. Where do I start?
With a first conversation, usually fifteen minutes. I ask what your days look like and what hurts, and we pick one class to try.
I have an injury. Can I still practise?
Usually yes, and often it is the reason to. Bring whatever your doctor has told you and I will sequence within it.
Do you teach online as well as in Kolkata?
Both. Studio classes run in Kolkata; live online classes run across time zones.
What do I need for a first class?
Clothes you can move in and a bit of floor. The studio has mats, bolsters and blankets.
How often before I feel a difference?
Sleep and breathing usually shift within a fortnight of practising twice a week. Strength and range take a season.
Which tradition do you teach in?
Classical hatha and therapeutic yoga, with Ayurveda informing what happens off the mat.
