Many articles have been written on the importance of Yoga in an individual’s life and just a simple Google search will get a layman tonnes of material about the same.

While teaching in class, I realize that when students are given ownership of their learning, the outcome is more positive. I ask students to explore, why is it important to learn skills such as Emotional Intelligence, for example, and once they have the basis for introspection, they come to class with an open mind. An environment where students are the center of their learning helps them become independent learners and empowers them to make decisions on their own. This ultimately prepares them for “real world” skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and negotiation skills. Of course, as educators, it is important to act as facilitators as coaches, and encourage better decision-making.

Playing around improving the office layout and working with the CEO to redesign the website – my internship with F5 Escapes – Bangalore was way more than just fun. Working in a start-up offered me flexibility and provided me with a platform to showcase my ideas and work upon them. F5 Escapes works with the mission of redefining the way women travel in India by offering fixed and customised tours for women. They strive to change India’s image as an unsafe destination for women into a women friendly nation. Working with the founders who were all female showed me that passion and determination can take you places and it takes just a spark to make a change and then everything else follows.
