Testimonial

 I am incredibly pleased today to be able to share with you a testimonial from a very special client of mine. Words like hers continue to motivate and inspire me everyday. I am so happy to be on this journey and to be able to help people along the way. To anyone reading this, if you are in pain do read this and spark the change in your life today.

“When Hina walked into my life it was like an angel from somewhere beyond my imagination, silvery sparkly hair like a halo on her head. 

To heal.

To help. 

To connect. 

Connecting with the muscles in my body, connected me to the pain and stories that lay within every fiber of those muscles. 

I am often told to ground myself, but sometimes these pieces of free, have little meaning when you are in the middle of an ungrounded storm of sorts.

Grounding yourself is different for everyone.

I needed to ground myself in my body, to reach my pain and through intentional, slow, impactful movement through somatic yoga I could start to heal. 

Hina’s gentle, positive yet loving touch can heal even the most skeptical among us.

My pain felt like a birthing story. Literal contractions, legs raised and spread ready to deliver. Though I am not with baby. 

It is possible I am / was having a literal re-birth of myself. 

Hina is the doula I didn’t know my body needed.”

I am grateful for her kind and moving words. This journey with her has just begun, and as a life’s accumulation of trauma slowly starts to fade away I am excited to see how see blooms like a flower turning to the sunlight. Here’s a photo of her looking peaceful in between her somatics session with me. Notice how calm she looks. 

Exercises for every age. 6 to 86.

Somatics is a form of exercise that can be done by any age. Whether it’s your young child or your old parent/grandparent, anyone can learn to move intentionally. Somatics is not just to recover from injuries, but also to learn your mind and body’s connection. So you can live better and have a clearer mind. 

Take a look at my youngest student with her grandfather, doing Somatics movements. Learning at a young age, gives you a greater chance of succeeding in future because adults are more averse to learning as opposed to kids. Kids are like sponge, they absorb everything around them. So if you have a kid, make sure to enrol them for Somatics to help guide them through understanding the capabilities of the body. And for everyone else, it’s never too late to treat your body better. Start today. 

Contact me at somaticsyoga@gmail.com for consultation and sessions. People in Mumbai, India may avail in-person offline sessions as well.

Quote of the day

 “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life... It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

Lavender and its benefits

Welcome to Lavender Week!

If you're looking to calm both the body and the mind, look no further than Lavender. There are many varied species of lavender, all differing in their aromas, characters, and blossoming. 4 types especially stand out: The Lavender Vera, The Lavender Spike, The Lavender Stoechade, and the Lavandin Super.

Lavender oil is a multi-purpose essential oil derived from the lavender plant. It is produced by distilling the harvested flowers, and the essential oil depends on the lavender species and composition. It is how it can be customised according to individual needs and then applied to the skin, and breathed in through aromatherapy.

Back pain? Or is it something more?

CLIENT TESTIMONY -
"At the end of our concluding session, I felt an intensity in me which I had lost. Now I sleep better, and deeper too. My back feels healed."


One thing I have learnt form my years of experience is that what you may feel is a physical injury, or physical fatigue may be much more. Here was one such client...She came to me complaining about her back troubles. Since she was not in the same city as me, we decided on video-call sessions. She told me about her back pain, and I heard her clearly. But I wondered if there was something more.

After our first session, I figured she had sleeping problems as well. Now was this stemming only from her back issues? Probably not. So I dived deeper into her growing pains. 

In the next few sessions, I understood she was facing unchecked depression. The way your body feels, is also about how you feel mentally.

Through our next many Somatics sessions, we worked on not just her back, but we also worked on deep meditative exercises to help her start sleeping better and focussing better. 

It went so well in fact, that she flew to my city to take in-person classes till she healed completely. Slowly, her back recovered, but most importantly, she came out of the sessions, stronger mentally and ready to take on the world. She felt better not just physically, but mentally as well.

Dear reader, if you want to take on your challenges in life and get ahead, through complete physical and mental healing and transformation, contact me here. Take care.

Recovery from injuries for senior citizens in India

Client Update:

One of my newer clients is an elder woman who is 70+. Our journey together began when I got a call from her family, telling me that she was suddenly bedridden, unmoving, and they needed my assistance to help her get back up. Here’s how she recovered – 

Day 0:

Because we were still in the Lockdown phase, we scheduled a video call. I noticed that she was lying down on the bed, yet uncomfortable. So the first step I took was to ensure that even in bedrest, she was healing… that is why I got her family to fix her ergonomics, and how she was lying down.

Day 1:

Our actual first session. Because of her age, she hadn’t done a lot of video calls. Add to that, doing sessions with me would make her admit that there was indeed something wrong with her. So she was very anxious and nervous. But I have to praise her, she gathered the courage to come online and practice with me. 
I gave her a personalised routine that would enable her to walk again.

Day 7:
She could start getting up from bed. Progress. Small, but progress nonetheless.

Day 9:
This is when we started seeing a major difference. Not only was she getting up, but as I kept encouraging her, she was able to take a few steps as well. 

Day 14:
She started to maneuver around the house by herself. She could go to the loo by herself, or join her family for food at the dining table as well. The family was overjoyed to see her being able to walk again.

What I discovered as her coach:
As a person who has seen 70+ years of the world, she had lesser of a hip problem, and more of a mental hesitancy towards recovery after the injury. As a holistic trainer,  I spoke to her the way she understood…the way a senior citizen understands. This is a God-loving woman who had started believing that God was punishing her. So I asked her why would God punish his own creations. We spoke about her aatma (soul). She told me her pain. And from there, I was able to calculate the pain points in her body. Physical pain can be caused by mental pain as well. She was carrying her trauma and fear after her injury which she was not able to let go of,  before my classes.  So by working on her mental baggage, she was able to get better physically as well. At her age, she is fragile. And injuries like these can easily shake senior citizens’ will. But professional help and encouragement go a long way towards recovery. Today, she feels much more light and nimble than in the last few years. And as her coach, I am extremely happy. To conclude, here is a picture of her from one of our sessions. She is exercising with dedication and focus, while on the bed because of her inability to sit up.

And now, below is a picture of her at the end of my sessions with her, sitting upright and well-balanced…recovered from physical and mental trauma.
