Shikha’s story

Shikha, a graduate of St. Stephen's and an MBA from ISB, is a marketing and sales professional turned full time yoga teacher and nutrition and wellness consultant. She is also the co-author of the book Sanyaas in the City.

She has been practising yoga for a decade. After working in the corporate industry for about eight years, she quit her job and travelled to Rishikesh to learn the art of yoga. She has trained under multiple experienced yoga teachers across the country.

Her classes are a mix of Vinyasa flows, Ashtanga Vinyasa and classical Hatha yoga. She incorporates the essence of different styles to focus on all aspects of health: physical, mental and emotional. The classes are carefully and creatively designed with adjustments to suit individuals, balancing strength, balance, flexibility, agility, mindfulness, proper breathwork, body mind connection and relaxation.

With her aim to help people build a healthy physical and mental body, she gained interest in the study of nutrition, explored the subject in detail, and began helping people with the art of eating right and working out to maintain a healthy body and sound mind.

Her nutrition plans are simple and easy to follow. She provides endless support to her clients, which makes the fitness journey interesting and goals achievable.

She contributes actively to the programming on the Tata Play (earlier Tata Sky) Fitness channel and aims to inspire people to fall in love with themselves through the art of yoga and mindful eating.

She has done multiple health series with leading media brands on yoga, including Dainik Jagran's health channel Only My Health and lifestyle channel HerZindagi.
