Urmal Munjwani

With over 8 years of experience in teaching and practicing Ashtanga and Hatha yoga, I, an E-RYT 500 certified yoga instructor, have embarked on a transformative journey. My love for yoga led me to traverse the captivating landscapes of India, where I imbibed the essence of this ancient art form. It was at INDEA Yoga Mysore that I discovered my true Guru and delved deeper into my practice.

My yoga expedition commenced in 2015, a path filled with self-discovery and growth. However, it was in 2018 that my journey took an extraordinary turn when I joined INDEA Yoga under the tutelage of the revered Yogacharya Bharath Shetty. Since then, guided by his wisdom, I have honed my yoga skills, both in my personal practice and in guiding others through their own yoga journeys.

Aanchal Vishwakarma

I am Aanchal a steadfast advocate for equilibrium and holistic well-being. My journey began at The Yoga Institute in Mumbai, where I embarked on the path of yoga. It was there that I undertook a transformative teacher training course, laying the foundation for my voyage. As time flowed, my expertise deepened, and I delved into the intricacies of Ashtanga yoga. In pursuit of mastery, I ventured to Mysore, Indea Yoga, where I attained Level 2 proficiency through rigorous training.

In addition to my yoga journey, I am also a certified reiki healer and a dedicated nutritionist. My approach is holistic, recognizing the intricate dance between the body, mind, and spirit.

My story is one of resilience, transformation, and commitment to well-being. As I continue to navigate, my purpose remains: to inspire, heal, and empower others to embrace a life of harmony and vitality through the realms of yoga, reiki, and nourishing nutrition.
