My Journey

Using movement practices, I help people deepen their connection with themselves and others.

After 5 years of working a desk job, I left the corporate world behind in pursuit of movement. Along the way, I found Yoga, Acroyoga, Slacklining and Partner Therapeutics

My Story

Imagine a life confined within the cold, unyielding walls of glass and steel, where the relentless hum of computers dictates the rhythm of your days. This was my reality after my journey through the corporate maze, from Credit Risk to Sales and Marketing Research, fueled by my MBA. But beneath the surface, a question lingered, echoing through the corridors of my mind: “Is this all there is?”

As I sat at the Harbour Front Building, gazing out at the vast ocean, a sense of entrapment washed over me. The ocean seemed to beckon, hinting at a world beyond those glass barriers. I knew it was time for a change.

Breaking Free: My Journey from Corporate to Wellness

Wellness Experience

Since 2017, I have been promoting wellness through studio yoga classes, one-on-one sessions, workshops, retreats, corporate programs, and international festivals. I curated Pakistan's first yoga festival and host a weekly community movement jam.

Classes & Workshops

Over the years, I have taught at multiple studios in Karachi, including Studio X, The Forge, Velocity X, Body Station, The Health Act, The Yoga Well, AQ Fitness, Spartan Fitness, and The Yoga Lift. In addition to Karachi, I have hosted multiple yoga workshops in Lahore and Islamabad. Currently, I operate from a private yoga space in DHA Phase 7, Karachi offering group classes, private one-on-one sessions, and online classes in various styles of yoga.

Retreats

I have organized numerous public and corporate wellness retreats. These retreats provide participants with the chance to disconnect from their daily routines, immerse themselves in nature, and deepen their self-connection through mindfulness practices. Retreats can vary in duration, ranging from a single day to several weeks.

Karachi Yoga Festival (KYF)

In February 2024, I curated Pakistan’s first-ever yoga festival in Karachi, bringing together 50 yoga teachers from across the country. The festival offered a variety of yoga styles over two days, from 9 AM to 9 PM.

My purpose in life is to unite people by highlighting our similarities. I host a regular Movement Jam in my city, welcoming all movement practitioners. It's a space for movement, play, and connection, where we learn from each other and share knowledge. I find great joy in seeing strangers become friends through these gatherings. In addition to founding Acroyoga Karachi, I have also played a significant role in forming Acroyoga communities in Islamabad and Lahore.
