My Yoga Journey
Akshi discovered yoga during her college days at Delhi University. What began as a casual interest soon blossomed into a true passion. She continued practicing yoga at IISER Mohali while pursuing her PhD in Chemistry. During this time, she became an AAYUSH certified volunteer. This deepened her involvement in yoga. Motivated by her growing enthusiasm, she enrolled in an RYT 200 program. This proved to be a transformative experience. This was followed by a certification in life coaching, further expanding her skills.
Dr. Akshi is now a faculty member at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh. Alongside her academic career, she teaches yoga, seamlessly blending her two passions. Akshi brings her scientific mind to her yoga teaching. This blends clear thinking with inner awareness. Her unique style welcomes people from all backgrounds. And all this helps them find joy and growth in yoga.

Kind Words
I have had cervical pain for quite a long time. I couldn't believe when I did perfect Halasana with Dr. Akshi's instructions just in a few days. I'm really happy for not having any pain in my neck. I feel blessed, and I bless her that all her wishes come true.
I have just completed my course. I have been able to remove my negatice thoughts. I have been able to work towards my goals in a better way. These classes are really helpful. Thanks Dr. Akshi!
Her meditation calms me down. It helped me de-stress in my preparation days. It has been doing wonders to me♥.
The classes have been very beneficial for me. I felt improvement in my physical strength especially for my legs. I like the way she teaches us to focus on the stretches in the body during a posture.
