Favourite Quote: Movement is not specific, it is rather unspecific and our ability to survive is directly related to how well we move! So move it or Lose it! - Various Sources including Ido Portal I am so glad to share with you a part of my journey and everything I’ve learned so far about wellness, fitness, nutrition, strength training, movement and everything that we need to stay fit, healthy, strong and antifragile.
A little bit about me
I was raised in India and moved to Australia, full of hope, big dreams and adventurous spirit. Let’s say that my life here didn’t pan out exactly as planned and I grew up REALLY FAST… Although, I am very grateful for each lesson I’ve learned in my life, I wish that certain things could've have been avoided, but everything has it’s price and anything worthwhile is never easy.
With humble beginnings to an internationally ranked squash player, I have seen and done a few things in my short life. However, one thing that has not changed, is my love for sport, fitness and health. Starting as a personal trainer in the ever ballooning fitness industry to being an entrepreneur, developing a proven methodology and process to getting strong, moving well and being superlative in everything I do, has always been my Number ONE Priority.

My background includes martial arts, athletics and more recently a newfound love for aerial yoga and movement class. I am a critical care trained registered nurse + Ashtanga Vinyasa teacher. Many years ago, I discovered that yoga complemented other sports I was passionate about. After completing my yoga teacher training in India, I am enthusiastic about sharing its benefits. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a fast-paced, flowing series of sequential postures. During class, I will guide you through each posture, with a strong emphasis on strength, mobility + alignment, while using the breath to link movement.

Bachelor of Applied Science
Master of Osteopathy (with Distinction)
Dry Needling
I graduated from RMIT five years ago and have been working as an osteo since. I’ve been lucky enough to treat people from all walks of life, and with an array of conditions. In that time I’ve learnt how important it is provide people with a thorough education of their condition, which ensures you’re armed with the information needed to play an active role in your recovery, and the maintenance of your health.
As part of your treatment, you can expect me to ask a million questions, and not just because I’m super chatty and want to get to know all you lovely people better, but because it will (hopefully) allow me to find the root of your issues and get you back firing on all cylinders as soon as possible! You can also expect an individualised approach depending on your presentation and other lifestyle factors. I want to try to take it all into account to help you as much as I can. I’m super excited to be working with you all - as members of Hydra I know that you’re all genuinely invested in your health and I can’t wait to hopefully help you on this path. I’ll be around the gym just a couple of days to begin with, but if these times don’t work and you ask me really nicely I MIGHT be able to find another time that works. Oh and obviously if you have any questions feel free to catch me while I’m in the gym as well!

Qualifications Dimploma Personal Trainer Level One Weightlifting Coach Level One Powerlifting Coach. 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Level One MovNat Coach Level One CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Coach. SPIN Instructor I completed my Personal Training Qualifications as a break from my learning and well the learning never stopped. I found my new passion in teaching myself and others how to move better.
At 18 I developed a love for Strength Sports and competed in Powerlifting for many years. I then met Anurag and Hydra Movement and my eyes open to this whole new world of things that I could learn to do! Fast forward to 2020 I have been living in the UK where my teaching in Yoga developed even further and I was known as the "Spin Queen". So as a Coach and Trainee I guess you could call me the "Aussie All Rounder". I'm here to meet you where we are both at, explore moving with you and not only how we can improve inside the gym but outside the gym.
