NN:
You are one of the youngest certified yoga teachers of Ashtanga yoga, what motivated you towards learning yoga?
KM:
I started yoga over 20 years ago out of a sincere desire to live a more peaceful life.
NN:
How has yoga impacted your life? Tell us 5 changes yoga brought in your daily life?
KM:
Yoga has made me a more kind, more loving, more patient and a more humble person. My commitment to practice six days a week has changed everything, from my choices in diet (I’m vegan), to what time I go to bed (earlier than I used to!), to other habits of personal consumption. I am much more conscious of the impact that I make on both my immediate space and the world. The yoga practice has also opened the doors of travel to me. I have traveled nearly 1 million miles in service of yoga!
NN:
Having 18 years of experience in Vipassana Meditation, Share how one can benefit from meditation?
KM:
Meditation is a the single-most important practice for my mental and emotional balance. I sit for my meditation practice every day, with no days off. My practice is somewhere between five to thirty minutes twice a day. Like a daily ritual of mental health meditation is my key to remaining calm and peaceful amidst the inevitable ups and downs of life.
