Co-founder · Women's Yoga Expert

Seema, Women Aligned

You don't have to escape your life to find yourself.
You need a practice that helps you live it better.

“I teach women between 40 and 60 through alignment-based yoga, Yoga-Pilates and guided recovery & rest.

My approach is precise, practical and shaped by my own experience of building a practice through the demands of life.

My Story

I found yoga during a difficult time, and I stayed with it.

My practice did not begin when life was calm. Returning to the mat became part of how I found my way through a challenging period.

I have practised in the Iyengar tradition since 2012, learning as a student in Singapore, Dubai and Budapest before training as a teacher in India under Hitesh Joseph for 5 years. Together, we co-founded ALIGN Yoga School.

I am also a mother. I understand what it means to have people depending on you and how easily your own time can move to the end of the list.

That experience shapes how I teach. I observe carefully, listen to what you find difficult and look for a practical way to help you move forward.

My Experience

Care and precision guide the way I teach.

I bring more than 2,000+ hours of teaching experience to my classes.

After studying classical Pilates framework, I developed the Yoga-Pilates approach we practise in ALIGN's group sessions. My teaching experience includes Forbes Marshall, Ecolab and the Cipla Palliative Care programme, as well as students in India and online across different countries.

Working with different women across all age groups people has taught me to pay close attention to the individual, even within a group.

My Approach

You can work with care and still build strength.

I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, using support and taking time to understand a movement.

In my classes, I explain what we are working on and offer appropriate options. We make room for purposeful effort and give recovery & rest the attention it deserves.

Learning to use what you have

A towel, a pillow, a scarf or a wall can become a useful part of your practice. I will show you how to use these familiar objects and explain why they are there. Understanding the support is part of understanding the pose.

Giving the whole class a purpose

How you arrive matters. How you work matters. How you finish matters too. I give thought to the full session, so there is time to settle in, practise with attention and close with guided rest.

“We carry what happens on the mat into the rest of our week without noticing, so how we spend that hour matters.”

Women's Health Circle

Two hours each week to give yourself some attention.

My Women's Health Circle meets live online every Tuesdays and Thursday 10am . It is a women-only programme for ages 40 to 60 in each Circle. I lead the sessions with live observation and feedback throughout.

Every 60-minute class follows four parts. The structure stays familiar, while the practice changes with the season, our weekly topic and the group.

Shanti — Peace

We begin quietly, with time to arrive on the mat and settle into restorative movements. (Approx. 15 minutes)

Sthira — Steadiness

I guide you through alignment-based practice using clear instructions and simple home props. (Approx. 15 minutes)

Shakti — Strength

We move into Yoga-Pilates and core work, using body weight with care and intention. (Approx. 15 minutes)

Savasana — Rest

We gradually ease the pace and close with supported practice and guided rest. (Approx. 15 minutes)

Our Wednesday Practice

As a Circle member, you can also join the complimentary Wednesday breathwork and pranayama session. Hitesh and I teach this shared class in alternate weeks.
