I consider it as a deep honour to have you visiting my yoga page and trying to get educated about yoga and to know more about me as a person and a yoga teacher.

SAMATRA symbolises equanimity and evenness of mind, which is the quintessential part of yoga, which every yoga practitioner strives to attain.

The Sanskrit word SAMATRA is an amalgamation of two words, SAMA + TRA. SAMA symbolises the equanimity of the mind and the breath as it embodies a balanced state. TRA is deemed, as to be in the present, and that equanimity needs to be achieved now.My site SAMATRA by SOUMYA epitomes my perpetual state of mind and my own life.

My initiation into yoga started at an early age, during school hood, where we were taught the basics of asanas as a part of the overall physical development programs. As the years rolled by, personal traumatic experiences left me physically and mentally very vulnerable and traumatised. It was at this juncture that I turned to yoga to heal mentally and physically and get back the confidence that had been lost due to the external gravities that had weighed down my confidence and self-esteem. That was the SAMATRA moment of my life and the beginning of my transformation.

Yoga helped me evolve positively at all levels; physical, mental, emotional and above all spiritual. My metamorphosis and transformation made me realise the power of Yoga and my self-confidence discovered a NEW ME,as I discovered yoga as the catharsis in the evolvement a NEW ME. As I traversed through my yogic journey, it dawned on me that I needed to give back to Yoga what it had given me, and to carry the torch of knowledge that my Guru and instilled in me. The ten long years of being taught yoga,readied me to now teach yoga on my own as I now started teaching yoga since 2018.

Yoga is a journey, a journey of knowing oneself, and I as a teacher would be guiding you through this journey ofyour,self-discovery.

I have been trained by the best of teachers from the Iyengar school of Yoga and by some of the finest teachers in Ashtangayoga, which has resulted in me being exposed to the best of the two worlds in yoga.

My online classes are conducted in the Iyengar methodology and style of yoga, which is unique as it emphasises the concept of alignment and precision, and the use of props, which is unique to this form of yoga.

I am a certified AYUSH Teacher and Evaluator, Level-3 and I conduct special programs & classes for the elderly, in Wellness, as Wellness is the key to Well Being.I branched out to evolving specialised programs for people with injuries and women who were facing physical mid-life crisis, which is a part of womanhood

I have partnered in writing the of a book on Iyengar yoga & its philosophies, called “Gems from the MASTER “

Let’s journey together through this fascinating journey of what could be game changer, as you discover the way of life.

Sincerely yours;
