Lakshmi Gopalan
Teacher
My practice is what I turn to in good times and in bad to keep me grounded. My mat has been my constant companion during all the international moves and relocation that i have been through. It has provided me solace and strength in so many different situations. My practice has particularly helped me to deepen my spiritual journey and understanding of oneself.
Why I Practice
Firstly I teach to give back what I gained when I attended yoga classes. When the physical strength and clarity in asana practice transformed into mental and emotional stability and strength, I thought this was an experience and understanding that was so worth spreading to others. Importantly, my teacher and mentor never gave up on me, even if I wanted to give up so many times! I hope I can also inspire someone in the same way not just to do poses, but to face life.
