Find Your Flow

A Sanctuary of Stillness

Hi, I’m Astha, and I’d like to welcome you to ASANA ~ a space created for slowing down, reconnecting, and returning to yourself.

I’m a Level 3 yoga teacher with training in foundational trauma-informed yoga, alongside studying psychology and training towards becoming a psychotherapist.

But long before any qualification, yoga found me during a time when I needed it the most.

Over the past few years, yoga has become a deeply important part of my life, not only as a physical practice, but as a way of understanding my mind, body, breath, and nervous system more compassionately.

For years, I struggled deeply with my mental health. I was diagnosed with depression, OCD, and emotional dysregulation, and often felt trapped within a mind that rarely slowed down. After years of struggling with body image and disconnection from my body, yoga slowly became a space where I could begin rebuilding that relationship with more awareness, softness, and compassion.

For a long time, I believed stillness meant forcing my thoughts to disappear. Yoga, however, taught me otherwise.

Through years of personal practice, study, and training, I began learning how to work with myself rather than constantly against myself. What stayed with me most was never perfection in the poses, but the way the practice slowly helped me reconnect with my breath, regulate my nervous system, and feel more at home within my own body.

Over time, this journey also led me into a much deeper curiosity about the connection between the mind and body : how emotions are carried within us, how the nervous system shapes the way we move through the world, and how healing often begins through awareness, safety, breath, and reconnection with ourselves.

Alongside yoga, I’ve become deeply interested in psychology, somatic healing, nervous system work, and the ways movement, breath, and presence can support our relationship with ourselves more compassionately.

As I continue training towards psychotherapy and exploring somatic approaches in the long term, ASANA becomes a space where all of these worlds gently come together — movement, breath, reflection, awareness, and human connection.

ASANA is born from that experience.

Not from having everything figured out, but from wanting to create a space that feels human, grounding, and safe for people exactly as they are.

A space to move, breathe, rest, reconnect, or simply exist without pressure, perfection, or expectation.

I don’t believe yoga is about perfection.

I believe it is about returning to yourself, gently and honestly, one breath at a time.

“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.”
