Ruchita

A yogini, Ruchita has been on and off the mat for over a decade.

She did her first teacher training at The Yoga Institude in Santacruz, Mumbai, in 2010, after which she chose to change directions, and work in the field of fashion at ELLE India. But the urge to help people help themselves through a practice that takes you home, and through better eating choices, had always underlined her thoughts.

Naturally, she soon quit her job, studied nutrition with the American College of Sports Nutrition, and followed this with a 200hr immersion in July 2016.

Now, a yoga-teacher-cum-certified-nutritionist, Ruchita teaches classical Hatha yoga, emphasising on conscious body movements with awareness of breath. She also offers her students diet and lifestyle guidance—to achieve the highest level of well-being.

Expect each class to hold a theme: starting off with a grounding meditation, moving onto Asana practice, followed by Pranayama. She draws her inspiration from Mother Earth, and loves spending time outdoors, watching sunsets and walking barefoot on the grass.

Ruchita deeply believes that in our world of immense suffering, it is incredibly important to keep ourselves grounded. She invites you to her yoga mat, to help you, in the smallest of ways she can, to find your ground.
