The practice of Yoga has had a profound influence on Geeta’s life; it has given her a new life, made her confident and happy. Geeta reiterates that “when a person is happy he is healthy.” She shares her experiences as a practitioner and teacher with her students, and explains how good health can be achieved the natural way - she says that everyone has to make certain lifestyle changes to improve their health.
Geeta describes Yoga as “Svadhyaya” study of one’s higher Self which is soul or atman; ‘sva’ means one’s self and ‘dhya’ means study. Regular practice uplifts the mind and body to high energy levels and helps to effectively balance the ups and downs of life. Geeta says “Yoga removes the disturbances and brings you closer to God and makes your life peaceful.”
Geeta is dedicated to the well being of her students; her wisdom, her expertise and her continued interest in Psychology and Physiology has made her an effective teacher, and distinguishes her from most Yoga teachers.
Geeta insists that practicing pranayama for 30 minutes, asanas for 30 minutes early in the morning every day will promote high energy levels all through the day. Inverted asanas must be practiced for 10 minutes, this removes maximum toxins and reverses the ill effects of ageing.
Geeta has had the opportunity to attend many Yoga classes in Yoga ashrams in
