What role has yoga played in your life? How has Yoga changed the way you perceive things and life in general?
It may seem as an exaggeration but Yoga gave a rebirth to me! I emerged as a woman who could carry herself with deep inner confidence and self-acceptance. Yoga consciousness opened me to realise that how every size, colour and shape (including that of mine) is beautiful. Over the years, I have not become taller with yoga but I have learnt to carry myself with ease and sense of self respect! I am able to look at things and life with patience and positivity, knowing that nothing can be achieved over night but with continuous dedication, every dream you take can be realised!
What kind of challenges did you face as a yoga instructor?
All that I ever feared in life came true in the form of challenges as a yoga trainer. I was afraid of the idea of a freelance job. I used to wonder how certain people chose to freelance and not go for a fixed salary job. Then as a yoga teacher I had to start as a freelancer where I faced financial insecurities head on. Also, coming from a salaried class family background, I was too afraid to think of myself of as an entrepreneur, until I was pushed into it! The inadequate payments by the employers of fitness studios was such a horrible experience I opened up one of my own!
