Indian heritage, born and raised in the UK, India has pulled me back to my soul and roots. I practiced Yoga asana for many years, however, it was never enough, I never felt I belonged in this world of all the pain, trauma, and suffering, humans living in the world of illusion always being a bystander watching from the outside in. When I was 7 years old - I lost all feeling and use in my arms & legs, my legs gave way and I was unable to walk or move in the park.  I was hospitalized and no- one could understand or work out what was happening.. then after a month, I was back to normal, with no treatment and no medication.

 As a child, my dreams were always so vivid and would come true or I could dream and it happened in reality - I could feel the energy of people around me and almost sense their thoughts and feelings and intentions. As I grew up, the world of Maya covered this gift and I pushed this to the subconscious as no one really wanted to understand. Yoga lifted the veil - the path of spirituality is where I belong, and my life experiences and mistakes bought me to my true soul purpose. My heart is the energy field and supporting those and opening them to the spiritual path, living life in the present moment, fully as you are meant to be is my purpose. Kundalini and Tantra are my passion to bring to life the empowerment within you.

I teach internationally in the UK and India bringing to life the traditional teachings and blessing of the Himalayan Masters. My life is dedicated to human unity, love, and compassion thru World Peace Yoga School, Kundalini & Samadhi Yoga Ashram. Kundalini, Tantra, Pranayama, Meditation, and Sadhana are my passion and the goal is to set you free so that you can be your true authentic self.
