Yoga is a much heard and read about phenopmena these days. I have witnessed the journey of 'yog' becoming 'yoga' travelling to the term 'yoga and meditation' and in its present scenario, 'yoga, meditation and pranayam' being used just like using the phrase 'human body, hands and legs unknowingly as hands and legs are the parts of its human body. In the same way, pranayam and meditation are part of yog like yama, niyama, asana, bandha, shatkarma and pratyahara.

I started my yoga journey when I was in the womb of my mother. I was blessed to be born in a family where I learns things from the environment. But 'JUST' learning yogic kriyas never elevates a soul until and unless its wisdom is not realised and it is not adapted as a lifestyle.

Yoga has helped me in every sphere of my life be it my studies, profession, personal life, social or spiritual life. It took out the best in me as a student, classical dancer, daughter, wife, mother, guru, performer, author and orator. It is only because of yoga that I could balance all the spheres of my life almost perfectly. But the realisation happened when I was dancing in front of the mirror and I could relate to both; I danced mirror danced, I smiled mirror smiled, I cried mirror cried, I laughed! Life is like a mirror; we get what we give and unfortunately most of the people unknowingly give and transmit negativity. That very day I decided I want happiness in my life and the only way to achieve it is to give it! Yes, I started spreading not just happiness but also health and bliss through yog and that's the same what I started receiving. The only way to spread happiness is to spread yog.

I firmly believe that all personal (physical, mental, social, intellectual, financial, spiritual) and other problems can be solved only through yog and it is the only medium to make this world a better place.

By picking up this book, you have chosen to know yourself, to bring a positive change in your life, to be healthy and to spread this positivity among everyone around you as we can spread only what we have. When you are so full of positivity – that is what you will be spreading.

I wish you good health, peace, prosperity, a wonderful happy and blessed life as yog life = happy life.
