About Embodied Yoga

Hi! I am Aishwarya, a yoga instructor, and the person who facilitates classes on Embodied Yoga. I retired my full time job as an Architect to take on my passion of teaching Yoga. I have trained under different teachers and taught for more than 6+ years. My journey with Yoga began when I was just 17 years old. 'Light on Yoga' was the first book I picked up to try and understand the teachings and the physical practice. I was instantly taken by the method of practice, the depth of this way of Life and of course the expansive applications of the practice in All Life. Suddenly, I had discovered that there is a way to find peace within myself. I began practicing using the only resources I had, books and videos. As a young student and someone who had all these existential questions floating around in my mind and body, I found the principles of a Yogic life instantly attractive. But, I had other obligations, to be a daughter and an 'Architect'. I spent all my free time studying about the body, from books, peers and any free resources I could get my hands on. With the help of my parents, I signed up for my first ever teacher training in Bangalore at a1000yoga. IT WAS INCREDIBLE!

I continued to work in the field as a building professional, while teaching part-time. Life kept changing, but I found my center in my practice. My curiosity and passion for learning from different teachers about Yoga, Philosophy, Anatomy, Consciousness, Behavior, the Nervous System, LIFE... hasn't stopped. I continue to be the student. 

Yoga has given me a direction, I am now in a place in life where I'm excited to continue sharing my learnings and experiences with whomever would like to listen! :)
