She holds certifications in 300-hour and 500-hour Hatha and Transformative Yoga and a master’s in yoga and nutrition. Her teaching is rooted in classical foundations and infused with Bhakti Yoga and a personal devotion to Krishna creating classes that are heartfelt, inclusive, and deeply healing. Originally from Kolkata, she taught across Delhi and India before relocating to Goa in 2021, where she became part of a diverse international yoga community. At Nalanda, she leads signature programmes like the Chakra Yoga Retreat and Elemental Yoga Programme, guiding guests through experiences designed to restore balance, release inner tension, and reconnect with the self.
