Purnam पूर्णम [poor-nam] - whole, full, complete

Om Purnamadah purnamidam. Purnat purnamudachyate. Purnasya purnamadaya. Purnameva vashishyate. Om shantih shantih shantih.

This ancient Vedic mantra captures the spirit of the relationship between the supreme consciousness, and the individual consciousness. The individual consciousness is whole in itself and evolves in harmony with the supreme consciousness of which it is a part.

You are one part of the whole, and so you are whole, you are Purnam.

All you need is within.

My Journey

I was born with complete fusion of lumbar vertebrae and scoliosis of the lumbar spine. Chronic debilitating pain significantly affected my everyday life limiting even my ability to walk. I refused surgery for the risk of complications was high.

Through a dedicated Ashtanga Yoga practice of over 14 years, following an Ayurvedic lifestyle and using Ayurvedic healing modalities and herbs, I have been able to completely alleviate the severe pain, discomfort and disability caused by the fused vertebrae and scoliosis, improving the quality of my life significantly.

In 2018, I left an established corporate career to venture fully into the field of health and wellbeing, completing advanced studies in Ayurveda in Kerala (India) and London. In 2024, I am undertaking my 200h Yoga Teacher Training. My life is now fully devoted to sharing the power of Yoga and Ayurveda.

It would be my honor and privilege to help you achieve balance in body, mind and spirit if you chose to work with me.

Be well,

Akanksha
