Namaste!
Yogis and Yoginis
I’m Ash, a Yoga Therapist and Community Support Worker from South India, blending my family’s healing legacy with modern yoga therapy to guide others on their paths to wellness. My journey into healing began with my grandfather, a renowned Varma Kalai healer and Ayurvedic doctor in Tamil Nadu. People traveled from all over to experience his “healing hands,” and his unwavering dedication inspired me deeply. I carry forward this legacy, merging ancient wisdom with my personal experiences.
A Journey of Self-Discovery
As a young adult, I went to school to become a nurse, but while I was in nursing school, I experienced acute pain in my back and hips. As the years progressed, my condition worsened, and instead of using prescription medications to treat myself, I remembered my roots, and decided to immerse myself in yoga for healing. Around 3 months after daily practice, I had no symptoms, and no more pain.
Trials and Transformations
Despite my enthusiasm, life challenges and unhealthy habits led to a period of poor health. I was diagnosed with fatty liver and reduced lung capacity, leaving me in constant pain and breathlessness. This turning point pushed me to reflect deeply and seek a more profound connection with yoga.
I discovered the transformative teachings of T. Krishnamacharya, a revered yogi who emphasized conscious breathing, vinyasa krama, and personalized practices. Immersing myself in these teachings changed everything. Nine months of regular practice revitalized not just my physical health but also my mental clarity and spiritual growth.
A Mission Rooted in Care
Today, I approach yoga therapy as a unique blend of tradition and modern understanding. My practice focuses on tailoring yoga to individual needs, creating space for personal transformation at every stage of life. Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic pain, improved mental clarity, or simply a deeper connection with yourself, I’m here to guide you on this journey.
Let’s explore the power of yoga together, honoring its timeless wisdom and your unique path to wellness.
