Journal स्वाध्याय
The journal.
What I've learned about the body — from the lineage, from the science, and from years of teaching. Written slowly, for you. Read from the top if you're beginning, or find the feeling that brought you here.
What I know about the body, written for you.
Not a blog. A slow library — the things I've learned from the lineage, from the science, and from years of teaching. Read from the top if you're beginning. Or find the feeling that brought you here.
Find what
brought you here.
The library below is organised by yogic theme. If it's easier to start from what you're actually feeling, these six groups may be a faster way in.
A back that hurts
Sleep that won't come
An hour of sleep in twenty minutes.
How yoga nidra works — and why an afternoon practice can rebuild a tired week.
When you can't sleep.
The yogic order of operations for nights the mind won't go quiet.
Bhramari — the humming bee.
Five minutes that quiet a racing mind, by sound alone.
Hormones and cycles (PCOD)
Breath and stress
Breathing at 30 percent.
Why most of us only use a third of our breath — and what changes when we use the rest.
Nadi shodhana.
Alternate-nostril breath — the simplest tool for a tired nervous system.
Bhramari — the humming bee.
Five minutes that quiet a racing mind, by sound alone.
You don't have to stop thinking.
What meditation actually is — and what it isn't.
Digestion and energy
Sugar and the digestive fire.
Why sweet things land harder when agni is low — and what wakes it.
Eat for your digestive fire.
Food the way the lineage understands it — what wakes agni, and what dampens it.
Jala neti.
The morning that begins with clear breath. Practised right, this changes everything above the shoulders.
Beginning at all
Yoga is not exercise.
It is the practice of coming back to a body you stopped listening to.
Start with the body.
Always. The mind follows where the body leads.
The discipline that sets you free.
Sadhana — the small steady practice that holds a life.
The morning that decides your day.
Twenty minutes that hold the other twenty-three hours.
Whatever the reason, a practice for it is shaped individually — in a private class online or in person in Pune.
The way we begin
Yoga & the body
Pranayama & breath

I'm writing these now — the small yogic responses to a world made of phones.
The best way to understand my practice
is to feel it.
