Not becoming someone. Understanding who is here.

I work with creative professionals, entrepreneurs and sensitive high-achievers navigating anxiety, overwhelm or the pressure to keep becoming. Through yoga therapy, meditation and philosophy, we explore the patterns shaping your experience and how to meet life from a deeper understanding of yourself.

The Practice

01

One-to-One Yoga Therapy

Individual work with body, breath and movement, shaped around your actual circumstances.

02

Yoga Philosophy in Practice

Explore how identity, desire, attachment and action shape the way you experience life.

03

Meditation & Stillness

Observe the movements of attention and mind — not to force a special state, but to see more clearly.

How We Work

A practice that moves with you into everyday life.

There is no standard sequence. We bring together movement, breath, meditation, philosophy and self-observation in a way that fits your life.

  1. 01

    Notice

    See the patterns in your body, breath and thoughts more clearly.

  2. 02

    Shift

    Explore what shapes your responses and what may be obscuring a clearer view.

  3. 03

    Relate

    Notice how identity, ambition and attachment shape your inner life.

  4. 04

    Integrate

    Carry the work into relationships, rest, decisions and creative life.

  5. 05

    Live

    Participate in life without making every action a way to prove or complete yourself.

A Different Relationship with Experience

Practice is not another project of self-improvement.

Anxiety and overwhelm are real experiences, not signs that you are failing. We can explore the patterns shaping how you meet yourself and your life — without treating you as a problem to fix.

This is not about withdrawing from ambition or action. It is an inquiry into what drives them, and how you might participate in life with greater inner alignment.

This work does not explain away distress or replace appropriate mental-health or medical care.

Why This Work

I've been on the inside of this.

I'm an Integrative Yoga Therapist and Wellbeing Coach, based in Goa. I take the body and mind equally seriously, and build the work around you. the work has to fit that, not the other way round.

I didn't start here. I worked in the fashion industry for close to a decade. For years, repeated negative thoughts and chronic rumination stood between me and what I knew I could do. I could see what I was capable of and couldn't get near it.

Over time, practice helped me see these patterns more clearly — not by pushing harder. My training has been long and unhurried.

The Wider Work

Knower & Field

Coming soon

Knower & Field is the wider home for this inquiry: how we understand ourselves, what shapes the way we experience life, and how we participate in it. Not becoming someone. Understanding who is here.

Working with Teams

Bringing this work
into your organisation.

For teams running on empty, we can shape something that is not a wellness perk, but a real practice. I work with brands and organisations that lead with care.

  • Private sessions for individuals or small groups within your organisation
  • Workshops on breath, attention and managing the mind under pressure
  • Ongoing practices to return to between sessions
  • Offsite wellness retreats shaped around your people

If your organisation shares this sensibility and you'd like to explore it together, tell me a little about what you're after.
