Rajeswari Bonala
I have been working as a market researcher across India, Egypt, Dubai and Canada, and run a market research consultancy with my partner in India now.
This has brought an abiding interest in understanding human nature, and myself, through questioning and reflection. I started my yoga journey through the simple practice of asana and pranayama. I completed my Yoga Teacher Training in the Sivananda tradition, which has brought me immense satisfaction from teaching. As I've delved deeper into the internal (antaranga) yoga practices with the programmes run by Raghu Ananthanarayanan at Ritambhara, I've felt an urge to better understand yoga and its philosophy. I am now studying these concepts with Dr. Anita Balasubramanian, through various excellent courses.
Applying the teachings of yoga to everyday life, dealing with my own stressors at work and in relationships, has become a new area of study & application for me. I want to ensure this ancient yet highly practical wisdom is accessible to the widest audience in need of physical and mental healing today. What happens when you take a mind trained for three decades in the highly control oriented, structured, achievement oriented and materialistic corporate world, and place it in the field oriented to self-discovery, breathing and pause, fitness and mental equilibrium? Well, I’m about to find out 😇. Come experience this journey with me through any number of effectively set up courses at Vishoka or simply talk to me about how to manage the madness of the work world.
I write about the intersection of these worlds on my linkedin profile as well as the Vishoka company page. Do check it out. My best article yet on caring in Corporate spaces.
I have a love for languages, words, music, people and the romance of life. I'm also an avid fan of classic Hindi songs. I bake to make healthier sourdough breads, and am a classical snob when it comes to my mother’s old recipes.
