Here is what she has to say on International Yoga Day. Excerpts from the interview: How important yoga is to you? It has slowly and steadily become a very important part of my life. I don’t think when I started it I realised just how wonderful and beneficial it would be and how much it would add to my life and when I started it I just looked at it as a workout just with time it really really grew on me and I feel like its a type of like a form of exercise very very compatible with me because it’s a great workout and it also centres me and especially you know in the type of profession I am in we need centric lots of the time and also I feel like it keeps challenging. I keep having to push myself, I keep wanting to push myself and I keep finding out new things that my body can do and I never know about all of that I think it’s very yeah I think it has definitely added a lot to my life!  How has yoga changed your life? 

  I feel it has given me a very good sense of discipline. I definitely feel like you know starting my day with Yoga especially as often as I can. Sometimes every day of the week, sometimes three days a week but definitely consistently. You know I feel it has given me a great sense of discipline, it has given me a great sense of peace in the morning. You know we wakeup and we jump into all the craziness of the day and craziness of life and I feel like its really wonderful to have that moment first thing in the morning to just centre myself so I definitely think it has changed the way I approach my days and as a result, it changes the way I approach life in general.  When did you start practicing yoga?  Actually you know it seems like I have been doing it much longer. Even I feel like I have been doing it for much longer but actually, it’s only been a year that I have actually and properly practicing yoga before that I have done things like gymnastics what I like to call fake Yoga where I used to you to know just pull a or find a Yoga pose and just copy it without any actual technical knowledge and then put that out on my social media and very honest with all of those I would write that I have no yoga experience but in the second lockdown is when I really got into it. Actually learning yoga from a Wonderful teacher whose name is Tia Ameen Joshi she really guided me with that and I have loved it ever since.  What is your take on Yoga way of life?  Ans: Well I feel like more than yoga way of life, yoga falls under self-care for me because it’s a way to just give back to your body and give yourself more energy and a clear start and you know that any form of exercise especially yoga is a great form of self-care.
