While her own journey in yoga began in the year 2008, when a near-fatal bike accident left her with multiple fractures to the legs, a broken head and back injury.

Being the founder of “Anshuka Yoga”, when were you first introduced to yoga?
Ms. Anshuka Parwani:
My journey in Yoga began as a kid practicing under the supervision of my mother, who has been a teacher since over 15 years. Holding an MSc in Yoga and having roots in Traditional Ashtanga Yoga, I also practiced with elite Yoga Masters from different schools of Yoga – Vinyasa Flow, Kundalini Yoga, Acro Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Yin Yoga.
Over my 8-year exploration in spirituality, I have read and studied many philosophies and texts on different schools of spirituality and metaphysics. I am also a strong believer in working with energy and with the Chakras- the energy centers of our body. A certified Pilates, Barre & Zumba Instructor, I also hold a Commercial Pilots License and I’m a National Swimming Gold Medalist holding various records in competitive and long distance Sea Swimming.
