🙏🏽
Lord Hanuman stood at the ocean’s edge and hesitated.
It was Jambavan who reminded him of his own boundless power. Sometimes that is all we need — a reminder of the strength already within us.
And then he leapt. Not into certainty. Into trust.
The world right now feels like that ocean. Vast. Turbulent. Unmeasurable. And within us — the same storm mirrors back.
Yet the teaching hasn’t changed. The chaos outside is not the obstacle. Forgetting who we are — that is.
And so it is with our practice. Not waiting until we feel strong enough — but trusting the strength that was always already there.
I was fortunate to capture this image at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune — the very place where Guruji and the teachers have for decades reminded students of exactly that. 🙏🏽
The second image shows Hanumanasana — and then the bow. The leap held in the legs, the surrender expressed through the fold.
Jai Hanuman 🙏🏽

🤸 Why wobble and fake it, when you can fall and lake it 💦🤸🌊🤪

Sometimes the best balance is in letting go (with a splash).

👉 When was the last time you just gave in to the fall and laughed? 😂



‼️ Not an educational post - strictly fun jumping into the lake from the deck ..! The inner kid was happy 😃

See you next Saturday .! 😊

🧘🏽This weekend, we practiced together.
And through your incredible generosity, we raised funds to support Mental Health UK—an offering to my Karma Bhumi, the land where I live and work. 🎉

🧠Supporting care for those who carry unseen burdens.
To each one of you who joined, donated, shared, or simply held space: thank you.🙏🏽

🇮🇳 Over the past week, while I continued to share moments from my practice and teaching, I made a conscious choice not to speak publicly about the ongoing conflict back home in India.
Not out of indifference—but out of deep respect to those affected and serving the country with valour.

✨Today, as India—my Matrubhumi- mother land - marks Mother’s Day, I want to hold space for those who serve her.

🪖The brave men and women of the Indian Armed Forces, and equally, their families, whose unspoken sacrifices uphold the nation’s spirit.

🙏🏽 In this time of tension and loss, your courage humbles us. We hold you in our hearts 💕

🎉 Yoga Fundraiser 🎉

✨This May, in honour of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re reflecting on how the inner quiet cultivated through yoga can become a force for healing beyond the mat.

🧘🏽When the mind becomes still, we become more present, more connected—and more open to the needs of others.

�Stillness leads to compassion. Compassion leads to action.

🎂As I turn a year older in May, Sonali & I invite you to join our annual yoga fundraiser this time on 11th May, supporting Mental Health UK—a charity providing vital support to those facing mental health challenges across the UK.

🗓️ Date: Sunday 11th May 2025�🕣 Time: 8:30–9:45 AM BST�💻 Where: Live on Zoom�📹 Can’t join live? A recording will be available for one week.
🧘 Practice with purpose�🤝 Give with an open heart�🎁 Link - https://www.yogawithuday.com/charity-event

With deep gratitude for your continued support—every share, every donation helps us our turn practice into meaningful change. 🙏💙�

🎉 Long Post Alert 🎉

Some days, the mat welcomes you.
Other days, it humbles you.
But every time, it teaches you something about yourself.

This is one of the quiet truths of practicing Yog — it meets you exactly where you are, not where you think you should be.

And just like Yog, I’d love for you to get to know me — not through labels, but through moments.

Yog began before I chose it - an accidental foray into the world of Yog - was through martial arts practice .
However I formally began learning at RIMYI - the world renowned Yoga institute in Pune back in the 90s.

✨I was fortunate enough to be in Pune and privileged enough to be around some of the finest teachers and practitioners of Yog 🙏🏽

🙏🏽 I come as a student first - learning , evolving and sharing the joy of the teachings I received and experiences I gained along the way .

🌍Moving to the west in 2015 meant I continue to share the learnings and experiences with my online classes and in person workshops and retreats around the globe- another privilege I am eternally grateful for

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for stopping by and reading and also wish you a very happy Gudhi Padwa - which is being celebrated today - which marks the start of the new year - one of the most auspicious days - the beginning of Vasant Rutu ( spring ) -
शुभ गुढी पाडवा!

Also wish everyone celebrating a very Happy Eid and Happy Mother’s Day 🎉

❤️

✨Happy Holi! 🔥🌈
Holi is a festival of color, joy, and new beginnings—a time to welcome lightness - marking end of winter and beginning of spring .
🌿Just as nature awakens, unfolds, and transforms, our yoga practice also shifts. Spring invites movement, openness, and a fresh perspective, allowing us to step forward with renewed energy.
🌼Holi reminds us that change is natural, that joy is meant to be embraced, and that life—like practice—is always evolving.
🌸As the seasons shift, may we welcome new beginnings, bright energy, and the space to move forward—both on the mat and beyond.

Some people leave an imprint not through grand gestures, but through their steady presence—the way they hold space, the way their words linger long after they’ve been spoken.

Today, on International Women’s Day, I reflect on the women whose presence has shaped, supported, and strengthened me.
🌿 To my mother—who instilled in me the values of dedication and humility, long before I knew the path I would walk.
✨ To my Guru, Geetaji—who taught with the fire and wisdom of a true yogi, showing us that discipline, knowledge, and compassion are inseparable.
💜 To my wife—who embodies patience, strength, and unwavering support, teaching me daily that yoga is not just on the mat but in how we live and love.

🌼 🙏 To all the women—students, colleagues, and friends—who balance the demands of life with grace, resilience, and unwavering dedication.

Today- and every day I acknowledge , and bow in gratitude.
