✨ October Reflections ✨

October may not have been my most consistent month on the mat, but it will always hold a special place in my heart. It began with Abhi’s birthday, a sweet reminder of love and partnership and flowed into Diwali festivities and a family wedding.

This Diwali felt extra special with my parents and mother-in-law here, moments that feel rare when family lives in India. The month overflowed with love, laughter, and connection. The kids had the best time with their cousins, away from screens for once! The boys looked so handsome in their suits (growing up too fast), and Aarna looked stunning in her ethnic outfit which Nani brought from India. It just felt good to be present, soaking in those moments that filled my heart more than any to-do list ever could.

I also received my Yoga Sutra certificate, such an honour and a gentle reminder that yoga extends far beyond asana. 🙏

Even though my personal practice slowed down, I stayed connected in small ways - sharing a few reels, a carousel post, sharing Ashtanga yoga wisdom in my yoga sessions and my blog “Breathing Through Life: The Power of Pranayama in Everyday Living.” It felt lovely to keep expressing yoga in my own way.

But truthfully, there are days I wish for more hours in the day. Between a full-time job, family, YS studies, my small yoga space, perimenopausal shifts, and everyday life, it’s a lot to balance. Some days, self-practice takes a back seat, and that brings mixed feelings. Instagram might show perfection, but my reality is still evolving; imperfect, messy, and full of heart.

The Yoga Sutras remind me that yoga isn’t about doing it all; it’s about doing what you can, with awareness and kindness.

Sometimes, the most meaningful practice is learning to flow with life, even when it takes us off the mat. 🌺

Ever tried to sit still… but your mind just won’t stop moving? Those ripples: the thoughts, memories, worries, and dreams, are called VRITTIS in yoga, the constant fluctuations of the mind.

They shape how we experience life - what we see, feel, and believe. But beneath all of them, there’s a stillness that’s always there. When we stop identifying with every wave or ripple… we remember we are the lake itself - calm, clear, and whole. 🌿

🕉️ Yoga is the art of seeing clearly — of stilling the movements of the mind, so the truth of who we are can shine through.

Just received my Yoga Sutra participation certificate, a moment that feels truly special and humbling 🪷

Over 75 hours of study spread across six months, every weekend both Saturday and Sunday, this journey has been so much more than learning — it’s been an exploration into the very essence of yoga.
To study the Yoga Sutras is to enter the heart of yoga itself — its philosophy, psychology, and timeless wisdom. These ancient teachings, recognised by the Government of India, are not just texts… they are mirrors guiding us towards clarity, stillness, and self-realisation.
Grateful to Shiv Darshan Yoga Vidyalaya and especially to my teacher, Balamurali, for sharing such profound insights and bringing these teachings to life with such depth and devotion.
Forever a student on this lifelong journey of awareness and transformation 🙏

Most people think Yoga is about the body but the real Yoga begins when the mind becomes still. When we can’t even follow our own instructions, it’s not the body that needs training - it’s the mind. We hit snooze, break promises, chase peace through holidays or shopping but all that’s just cooling the surface.

Yoga teaches us to go deeper…to turn down the flame itself.

True Yoga is learning to quiet the inner noise, to turn down the flame, and return to that deep inner silence within.
That silence… is Yoga. 🪷

📜 Yoga Sutra 1.2 – Yoga Chitta Vritti Nirodha ✨ Yoga is the calming of the fluctuations of the mind.

Ever wondered what yoga really means — beyond the mat? 🕊️
Sage Patanjali once gave us the ultimate manual for the mind — the Yoga Sutras.

A timeless guide that helps us understand how the mind moves, why it suffers, and how to find stillness within it.

As we journey through these teachings, may they remind us that peace isn’t something we find — it’s something we remember. 🌸

With love,
Guneet | Ujjayi Yoga 🪷

What are Yoga Sutras?
The human mind is the most powerful machine, yet it doesn’t come with a manual. 🧠✨

Roughly 2,000 years ago, Sage Patanjali gave us just that — the Yoga Sutras! A timeless guide that helps us understand how the mind works, why it suffers, and how to find peace within it — leading us toward the path of liberation. 🌿

The Yoga Sutras are a collection of about 195–196 concise sutras distilling ancient yogic wisdom — like a user manual for the mind, showing us how to move from chaos to clarity, from confusion to calm. 💫🧘‍♀️

They are divided into four Padas (chapters):
1️⃣ Samadhi Pada – The path of concentration and absorption
2️⃣ Sadhana Pada – The path of disciplined practice (including the Eight Limbs of Yoga)
3️⃣ Vibhuti Pada – The path of spiritual powers and inner expansion
4️⃣ Kaivalya Pada – The path of ultimate freedom and liberation

Join me on this journey through the Yoga Sutras and discover how ancient wisdom can guide your modern mind. 🌿

September Reflection 🌿✨

September slowed me down. After the rush of summer, I finally had space to pause, breathe, and look within.

🌸 Completed 6 months of Yoga Sutra philosophy training - an intense yet deeply transformative journey. Sitting with Patanjali’s wisdom and realising how it still speaks so powerfully to our modern lives has been humbling.
🌸 Finished teaching the Yamas + Niyamas - what began as lessons unfolded into the most heartfelt, soul-touching discussions with my students.
🌸 Embracing Ayurveda - simple rituals, mindful eating, and gentle self-care to support perimenopausal shifts and to accept the natural body changes that come with this stage of life. I’m learning to meet myself with more kindness each day.
🌸 Family blessings - my parents are finally here, the kids are thriving with both sides of grandparents.
🌸 Celebrations — Yash’s first car 🚗 such a proud step-mama moment!
🌸 Navratri — a reminder to honour my inner goddess, to let go of comparison and self-doubt, and to give my soul the best experiences and samskaras (impressions) to carry forward.

The first weekend gone without YS training, felt strange but also exciting. A new chapter is here… and I can’t wait to share the ocean of wisdom from the Yoga Sutras with you all.

✨ August Reflections ✨

August felt like a soulful pause – slower on the outside, but full of inner healing and shifts. 💛

Grateful for Abhi as my yoga partner, nourishing our home with Ayurveda-inspired recipes, and beginning a meaningful collaboration with Nirva Health.

This month I was honored to lead a yoga session at the Ripon summer yoga camp 🌞 and guide a heartfelt yin yoga class for Barbara, Jan & Lauren – a beautiful mum-and-daughters bond. 💕

I’m also nearing the end of my Yoga Sutra studies – a truly transformational journey, even though it’s meant sacrificing family time on many weekends. Staying committed has been challenging yet deeply rewarding. 🙏

A big milestone was announcing our Kerala Retreat for Feb 2026 🌴🧘‍♀️, so beautifully received. And in my sessions, we’ve been exploring the Eight Limbs of Yoga – moving from the yamas into the niyamas, which has brought so much depth to our practice.

Personally, it’s been a month of celebrations – Aarna turned 12 🎂, Rio turned 5 🐾. We celebrated Rakhi.

Our friends got a beautiful pup named Yogi, he’s so adorable.

Abhi & I marked 15 years of marriage and spent a night at Rudding Park. ❤️ We had hoped to celebrate with my parents, but visa delays meant mine couldn’t arrive in time. While I was saddened, it reminded me how little is in our control – we are just tiny specks in this vast universe, yet our egos can grow so big. Accepting what is, we celebrated with gratitude for what we do have. 🌸

As September begins, I step forward with stillness, awareness, and joy. Thank you, my yoga family, for being the heart of this journey. 🌿

With love,
Guneet 💫

So excited to share this 🌿✨

I had the honour of being featured in the Accord Mortgage Growth Series, where I shared a 30 min chair yoga video and 5 simple chair yoga poses to ease tension, improving posture and bring a little mindfulness into the working day.

Yoga isn’t about being super flexible – it’s about calming the mind, moving with awareness, and taking a moment to breathe. Even a few minutes away from your desk can make such a difference. Here are the 5 poses I shared:

1️⃣ Seated Mountain Pose (Parvatasana) – builds strength, awareness, and a sense of grounded presence, even while seated.
2️⃣ Shoulder Rolls & Neck Stretches (Greeva Sanchalana) – release built-up tension from long hours at your desk and improve posture.
3️⃣ Seated Spinal Twist (Ardha Matsyendrasana) – eases stiffness, supports digestion, and lengthens the spine.
4️⃣ Seated Cat-Cow Stretch (Marjaryasana–Bitilasana) – loosens the back and restores energy during long sitting hours.
5️⃣ Seated Forward Fold (Paschimottanasana variation) – relaxes the spine, calms the mind, and gives the body a gentle reset.

If you’d love me to bring chair yoga or workplace wellbeing sessions to your organisation, I’d be so happy to connect – just drop me a message. 🌸

Eating with your hands isn’t just tradition — it’s a sacred act.
Each finger represents one of the five elements:
Thumb – Fire
Index – Air
Middle – Space
Ring – Earth
Little – Water
When they come together to hold food, they awaken Agni 🔥 (digestive fire) even before the first bite, igniting digestion and grounding the senses.
This is how food becomes prana. 🌿
It’s not just a meal — it’s an offering to the body, mind, and soul.
🌿 Grounded in nature. Nourished by wisdom.
