But, my dance practice, routine, and regime wasn't enough. Meeting the demands of Contemporary, Fusion, and Indian Classical, I've been mentored by industry leaders. Some of the most difficult challenges I've faced while performing, creating, and competing led me to my second passion, Yoga. As a supplement on a physical and mental level, Yoga has allowed me to stay fit and healthy and it allowed me to transform myself as an entertainer. You can select the style of Yoga & Dance you wish to pursue along with your level of desire.
