Rupal, you describe “Yoga as a journey of absolute bliss that changed your life around three-sixty degrees”, share about your childhood and early experience with yoga and fitness.

I started practising yoga without any inhibitions following footsteps of my father. My mother actually got me to all the rehearsals and yoga practices for annual days. I was never great at academics but “Yoga” did a number on me. The first thing I thought of post graduating was to be a therapist, a yoga therapist!

I loved what I studied and I loved even more what I experienced through the practice. It was both on and off the mat. From a little girl to a woman it’s been a journey of self awareness.

Very motivating. It’s taught me to love myself and my life.

I’ve inculcated two attitudes through yoga and what my parents taught me:

1 Never let situations disturb you. I’m a learner and I should only learn from them and move ahead. Change is the only constant.

2 Never let a person disturb you too. Everyone comes from a situation, it may sometimes be favourable to you and sometimes not. You can only control your reaction and your Karma.
