Offers clarity to make informed, balanced decisions

I started my practice very early, under the guidance of my mother, even before I knew that what I was practicing was yoga. A lot of it was centred on the lifestyle and philosophy of yoga, which I internalised. However, it was a near-fatal motorcycle accident that helped me to realise that yoga was my calling. I was bedridden for eight months and yoga became my lifeline. My practice helped me to heal physically and mentally. I was inspired to start Anshuka Yoga in 2015, to help others discover that same healing and build the resilience I had discovered.

At the time, when I began my own studio, yoga was still considered very slow, traditional and old-school, and more to do with building flexibility. Today, that perception has changed to a much more holistic view. The underlying science of mind, body and breath has proved its mettle through a lot of research and scientific studies. Now, people associate yoga with cultivating their consciousness and a sense of purpose and building a deeper relationship with their body.
