My guest today is Maria Partapurwala. She was my classmate in elementary school back in Pune, India. After graduating from college and setting up a family with two daughters, she ventured into the field of Yoga.
Her dedication to her craft and to her students is inspiring and highly motivating. I feel that there is too much desire to be a technically perfect yogi or yogini. Rather than that, Maria goes for empathetic yoga teaching, where students appreciate the finer points of yogic exercise and meditation and improve the overall quality of life rather than just the flexibility of their bodies.
Watch and listen to her inspiring story and how she turned a debilitating back injury into a successful yoga school - teaching hundreds of students every day to manage their health better through exercise and fitness rather than medicine and drugs.
