Meet Priyanka
Priyanka is a dynamic yoga teacher who insists on her clients being in the moment – her surya namaskars (sun salutations) are a spontaneous blend of traditional poses with variations, in such a way that require the practitioner to remain in the present and avoid getting caught in an ego trap or getting bored of their yoga. She enriches the practice by bringing focus & awareness to ones’ body, breath, thoughts and energy centres (chakras). Priyanka’s International high school education allowed her an insight on how to interact with and teach yoga to the International clientele, residing in New Delhi, India. Her Bachelors degree in English (B.A English Hons), along with her corporate training background in training customer service, language and western culture, enabled her to merge excellent communication skills with customercentric behaviours allowing her to adapt and create sublime yoga sessions. Furthermore, Priyanka’s knowledge of Vipassana and Yoga, two very different approaches overlapped, to strengthen her yoga practice – which led to her to study Ashtanga Yoga at the Pattabhi Jois Institute, Mysore (KPJAYI), under Sri Saraswathi’s tutelage. She continued to explore other forms such as Iyengar, Kundalini, Jivamukti, Anusara, Partner, Yin, Restorative, and Acro Yoga. The different styles served to enrich her teaching abilities since she taught a traditional form of personalized yoga; catering to expats, diplomats and ambassadors’ wives. This required her to be well versed in all the forms of yoga, that are being offered in the 21st century, and allows her to blend the traditional with the new wave that has taken the world by storm…
