“Imbalance on any front is the cause of life's miseries. Healing with alignment is key.”

Founder-director of Shammi’s Yogalaya, Shammi Gupta exudes energy, positivity and warmth. Health and wellness, according to her, begin in the mind: as a healthy mind will manifest itself in a healthy body. Working on both is a continuous process as much as it is an individual journey and requires commitment and dedication.
