The Awakening
"My name, Deepa, means light. My curiosity about that light began early; I remember sitting before a mirror at five years old, realizing with a quiet certainty that I was far more than what my physical eyes could see. I couldn't label that 'more' then, but I have spent my life experimenting with it ever since."
The Path to Parent Yogi
"Raised in the philosophy of yoga, the ancient wisdom was my childhood soil. But it was the 'modern pulse' of losing a corporate job in my twenties that truly cracked me open. A year of traveling the world transformed my curiosity into a deep, lived practice. I realized that yoga isn't just a pose; it’s a way to optimize our mindset, our movement, and our very essence."
The Mission: Your FACE Value
"Now, with twenty+ years of experience across every stage of life—from the sacred wait of fertility to the gentle restoration of chair yoga—my mission is to help you navigate the daily rhythm of life with what I call FACE value:
Freedom to be yourself.
Appreciation for the present moment.
Connection to your true self and your family.
Ease in the face of the modern rush.
When we tap into our innate power, we don't just survive the day; we illuminate it. Are you ready to explore the 'more' that lies within you?"
"The light in me honours the light in you. I can’t wait to meet you on the mat."

The Ancient Pulse in a Modern World
"Yoga is a treasure chest of hidden gems. My passion is taking these ancient, time-tested techniques and infusing them into the rhythm of our modern lives. When we learn to harness our own prana, we unlock access to our innate superpowers: a steady flow of love, a deep reservoir of peace, and the wisdom to navigate life with grace."
A Practice Tailored to Your Pulse
"I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. My sessions are uniquely designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you arrive feeling depleted or overflowing with energy, I guide you through a deliberate experiment in movement and breath—moving you toward a version of yourself that is both profoundly relaxed and vibrantly empowered."
"We aren't just stretching muscles; we are balancing the ledgers of our spirit."
Voices from the Sanctuary
“I highly recommend Deepa’s pregnancy yoga classes. It was a great opportunity each week to relax and each of the yoga postures/breathing techniques were helpful throughout pregnancy as well as labour. Deepa takes the time to help you with your individual needs and provided great tips for any pregnancy niggles you were facing. It was also nice to talk to other mums and share experiences..”
— Uma P“Me and my baby are really enjoying the mummy and baby yoga! Lovely warm welcoming environment, very relaxed... deepa is great with the babies. I leave feeling like I've had a chance to actually relax and recharge a little and so far baby naps after every class (extra bonus!).”
— Cherrie P“Amazing family yoga session - the kids really enjoyed the gratitude baskets, learning how to breathe and poses by the jungle experience and now ask to do yoga everyday. Highly recommend this class to any parent..”
— Deepa K"Every journey begins with a single, conscious choice. Whether you are seeking the steady rhythm of pregnancy yoga or the shared connection of a Mummy & Baby class, I am here to help you find your centre."

Beyond the Mat: A Life in Motion

An adventurous spirit
An Adventurous Spirit
"Beyond the mat, my heart has always sought the horizon."
The Global Soul (Twice Over) "I’ve been fortunate enough to journey around the globe twice. These were deep experiments in connection—from serving as a camp counsellor in the US to volunteering in a children’s cancer rehabilitation centre in Brazil. I learned early on that 'home' is a state of being, not just a place."
A Dream at 19,341 Feet "For my honeymoon, we traded the beach for a two-month adventure, including an expedition towards the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. It was a dream I’d carried since I was eight years old—standing above the clouds, reminded once again of the infinite strength we carry within."
The Modern Pulse: 6 Weeks, 9 locations "The adventure continues with my family. We recently completed an epic six-week interrailing journey across Europe, covering seven breath-taking destinations. Navigating the rails with a child was the ultimate lesson in 'Parent Yogi' presence—finding the rhythm of ease amidst the beautiful, bustling energy of the continent."
"From the peaks of Africa to the trains of Europe, every mile has been a practice in breathing, being, and belonging."

Overcoming Fear: The Stepping Stones
A Royal Encounter
"I’ve always believed in the power of perseverance. Completing the Duke of Edinburgh awards was a journey that led me to St. James's Palace, where I was fortunate enough to receive my Gold Award directly from the Duke of Edinburgh himself. It was a moment that honored the discipline I carry into my yoga practice today."
The Outward Bound Shift
"A pivotal moment in my life was an Outward Bound residential course—a true experiment in overcoming fear. This wasn't just physical exercise; it was soul-work. From climbing Mount Helvellyn and sleeping on the summit under the stars in nothing but a sleeping bag, to leaping backwards into the depths of Lake Windermere, I was learning to trust the 'more' within me."
The Leap of Faith
"I remember standing atop a telegraph pole, heart racing, before jumping toward a trapeze bar in mid-air. Those moments taught me that fear is just energy waiting to be transformed. I bring that same spirit to my teaching: helping you find the courage to leap, to breathe, and to trust your own innate strength."
The Legacy of Courage
"Today, the journey continues in a way that fills my heart. My son, Tanav, has chosen to embark upon his own Duke of Edinburgh journey. Watching him step into these same challenges—learning the discipline, the resilience, and the grit that the award demands—is a beautiful reminder that the light we cultivate within ourselves eventually illuminates the path for the next generation."
"Finding my footing on the heights of courage."

The Secret Ingredient: A Journey in Consciousness
The Joy of the Cupcake
"I have a confession: I love chocolate. Specifically, dark, rich, vegan chocolate. You can usually see the pure joy on my face whenever there’s a chocolate cupcake in my hand! But as a practitioner, I know that while the cupcake brings a smile, true happiness is found in the 'more' that lies beneath the surface."
From Allergy to Alignment
"My path to veganism was sparked by love. When we discovered my son, Tanav, had a dairy allergy, it created the space for our whole family to transition. It was exactly what my own consciousness had been asking of me—a move toward a more compassionate, plant-based way of living that honors the energy of all beings."
The Ever-Unfolding Practice
"This is why I love the different elements of yoga. Whether it’s choosing what we eat or how we breathe, there is always something new to discover, experiment with, and experience. Happiness isn't a destination; it’s the vibrant rhythm of living in alignment with your true self."
"May your life be as rich as dark chocolate and as light as a deep exhale."

Moving for a Cause: Resilience in Motion
The 26.2 Mile Tribute
"In 2007, I pushed myself far beyond my comfort zone to complete the London Marathon. While the physical training was a journey in itself, my true 'why' was close to my heart. I ran to raise funds for Diabetes UK in memory of my father, who had passed away two years prior. Watching him navigate the complications of the condition—from losing his sight to kidney and heart failure—taught me the profound value of the health and vitality we often take for granted."
The Continuous Flow
"My commitment to raising awareness didn't end at the finish line. I continue to find ways to move for meaning. In 2019, I 'swam the channel' by covering 22 miles in my local pool over three months, and most recently, I completed the 1 Million Step Challenge. For me, these aren't just physical feats; they are pranic offerings—using my own health to honor his spirit and support others on their journey toward wellbeing."
"I have learned that our bodies are incredible vessels for love and memory. Every step, every stroke, and every breath is an opportunity to honor where we come from while moving toward where we are meant to be."

From Equations to Energy: The "Energy Accountant"
The Logical Foundation
"People who know me now as a poet are often surprised to learn that I hold a 1st class degree in Mathematics. After graduating, I stepped straight into the corporate world with an unconditional offer from one of the world’s top accountancy firms. I spent years calculating numbers and balancing ledgers, but I soon realized that while my mind was occupied, my spirit was seeking a different kind of 'sum.'"
The Great Realignment
"Through my yoga practice, I began to observe how movement and breath shifted my internal state. I stopped balancing financial books and started balancing my own vitality. In 2006, I traveled to the Swami Vivekananda center in India to complete my first teacher training. It was there that my true journey began—trading the world of traditional accounting for the role of an 'Energy Accountant.'"
The Pranic Balance "Today, I use that same analytical precision to help you understand your own energy. I believe we all have an internal 'ledger' of vitality, and my mission is to help you stay in the black—ensuring you have the presence, peace, and prana needed for the beautiful, complex journey of life."
"I found that while numbers are finite, the energy within us is infinite. Now, I simply help you find the flow."
What Drives the Parent Yogi?
Parenting the Self First
"At its heart, Parent Yogi is about the 'inside-out' approach. I believe we must parent ourselves first—healing our inner child and approaching life with the curiosity, wonder, and awe we wish to see in our children. By cleansing old patterns and shifting away from 'auto-pilot,' we create a space where we can rise above daily challenges and see our obstacles from a bird’s eye view."
The Real-Life Roller Coaster
"My path wasn't always a calm flow. After becoming a parent to my son, Tanav, life became a series of loops and turns more intense than any theme park. It was the most challenging 'experiment' I had ever faced. I am profoundly grateful for the pranic tools and yogic skills that didn't just help me survive those years, but allowed me to truly thrive within them."
Your Infinite Possibility
"I believe there is a key within yoga for every soul. It simply requires the patience to investigate, the courage to experiment, and the willingness to experience your own depth. We are all capable of greatness, holding infinite possibilities within our bodies, hearts, and minds.
Are you ready to unlock the compassionate keys to your own empowered self?"
