'Yoga for me is not just about getting the posture right or being able to do complex asanas. Yoga is like food for my soul,' says Aaamna.
'Every morning I come to my mat with an intention and that sets a precedent for my entire day.'
'My meditation journey has helped me overcome the lowest and the toughest phase of my life, it has helped me filter all the negative thoughts and focus on only the positive ones, made me be grateful for what I have rather den be thankless for what I lack...turn my weaknesses into my strengths...relate to people in a more humane way and most important to overcome all uncertain fears that crop up in life 'Let’s quiet our mind and the soul will speak.'
