By adapting these styles, yogic sadhana becomes more authentic and enjoyable.
Her yoga journey started at very young age as a physical practitioner.
Suryanamaskara was indispensable part of her life since childhood. Her initial practice was limited only up to a physical plane. Later she realized that yoga is not just attaining perfection in any asanas or any work out but it is knowing your inner self which can be attained by focusing on the prana energy (Breath), hence she started teaching meditation and breathing techniques along with asana practice.
Her childhood practice of chanting mantras in Sanskrit aided her in the studies of Patanjali Yoga Sutras and the chanting of yogic mantras. Her beautiful voice along with self-charged energy creates cheerful vibrations and positivity around her. Her Sanskrit pronunciations are also very good so she can chant mantras in an effective way and creates an upbeat musical environment of joy and celebration around her.
Aditi’s command over Sanskrit language and an innate ability to talk about the yogic philosophy established her as a faculty member for online as well as offline Yoga Teacher Training Courses (YTTC) at Asan Yoga School. Aditi also teaches yoga philosophy as a subject and participates in the various teacher training course at Asan yoga school.
After teaching and practicing yoga for more than 8 years she realised that yoga is a union of body, mind and soul.
She applies the same energy while sharing her practices with her students so that they realize that yoga is not a WORK OUT but it is WORK IN process. Eventually we realise this as we go deeper and deeper in our physical practice and achieves the symphony with our state of mind.
She resonates with the teachings from her guru that is - “YOGA IS A JOURNEY FROM FITNESS TO WITNESS”.

She is also skilful in conducting various Mandala and vinyasa flows.
Mugdha's life was surrounded by spiritual knowledge, meditation techniques & different yogic tools at her early age. But the thought of pursuing a career in yoga lined up much later as she intensely desired to acquire in-depth knowledge in yoga.
Her yoga career started with the completion of 2 years of diploma in Foundation and Advance level of Yoga course from Mumbai University, followed by one year of Yoga Certification Course in Kaivalyadham Institute. Right now, she is pursuing her degree in MA Yogashastra through K.J.Somaiya College in Mumbai. She has also participated in different yoga competitions at state level in Mumbai. Being a Hatha Yoga practitioner slowly she was coming out of the blockage that, yoga is not only a tool for physical movement but in every practice she was experiencing the close link of her body with her breath and breath with the mind.
From then onwards she was seeking for a true environment which can support her physical, mental, emotional & spiritual wellbeing. This got fulfilled after joining the 200-Hr Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training Course at Abhinam Yoga school in Goa. Where she learned how to apply different methodology to ease an Asana practice, to get accuracy in pranayama, Bandha & Mudra techniques, how to practice meditation at the market place and create a yogic environment and implement the yogic techniques in daily routine.
After learning Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga she went through many positive changes in her physical & mental state. She noticed her breath becoming calmer, her body was much stronger and the combination of both was reflecting in her mind by getting mental clarity. She realised that the transformation happened immediately after she changed her eating pattern. The mindful eating not only changed her physical practice but also increased her willpower and gave her a clear perception towards life.
Her message to all the practitioners at this moment is yoga is a great tool to observe every movement in the moment in order to explore that which is unexplored. So go slow, steady and take the right guidance.
