'I combine Vinyasa and Therapy Yoga styles to create my own flow which helps individuals to develop physical and mental strength, flexibility along with breath awareness and over time by regular practice you’ll find yourself building up all these. Yoga is your own journey and the only way to feel it is to experience it. What I can definitely tell you from my experiences is that 'Yoga is a lifestyle' and it is irresistable once you dive into it.’
