What role has yoga played in your life? How has Yoga changed you and your life in general?
I started as an interior designer, turning places into sites of beauty and utility depending upon the requirements of the projects. Then a spiritual calling made me venture into the world of yoga and self-realization. It was a 360 degree turn in my life. Yoga led me to a completely opposite lifestyle wherein I changed into a positive, calm and a non-judgmental person, who accepted life as it came, and at face value while I also learnt to be happy and content in my skin.
