The yogi in me!

Back in 2011, I kicked one thing off my bucket list by becoming a certified yoga instructor. One and a half years hence, I have not yet opened my own yoga studio like I wanted, but I do find the time every once in a while to take corporate classes.Two day yoga sessions for veterans of the corporate sector on basic yoga movements and quick tips on how to avoid/repair the damage caused by long hours on a desk through simple yoga postures.

Every time I do it, I enjoy it thoroughly. Its a wonderful break from the monotony of my own desk job in finance and a huge thrill to see people appreciate and respond so wonderfully to Yoga.
