Richa giri

I am a yoga instructor and wellness practitioner with over ten years of experience in the fitness and wellness space. While my journey with health and fitness began more than a decade ago, I have been formally teaching yoga for the past two years after completing my professional certifications. I work with students from different age groups and focus on helping them improve flexibility, strength, balance, and overall well-being through mindful and personalized yoga practices.

I hold a Master of Science degree, along with an International Yoga Instructor Certification and specialized training in Therapeutic Yoga. In addition to this, I have completed a diploma and regularly participate in advanced and refresher training programs to keep my knowledge updated. These qualifications allow me to blend scientific understanding with traditional yogic practices in a safe and effective way.

Before dedicating myself fully to yoga and wellness, I served as a Naval officer for 14 years. My background in the armed forces has instilled strong discipline, consistency, and resilience in my approach to both life and teaching. This experience deeply influences how I guide my students, combining structure with compassion and holistic care.

Currently, my primary focus is on therapeutic yoga, where I work closely with individuals dealing with lifestyle-related conditions. I am a certified yoga therapist specializing in the management of 41 lifestyle disorders, including stress, anxiety, depression, hypertension, chronic pain, and rehabilitation needs. I also work with chakra healing and holistic pain management, supporting both younger and older individuals in their healing journeys.

My yoga sessions are highly personalized and result-oriented. I design structured lesson plans based on each student’s physical condition, health goals, and limitations. I place strong emphasis on posture alignment, breathing techniques, and safe progression, ensuring that students gain benefits without strain or injury. Sessions are interactive, and I encourage questions so that students fully understand the practice and its purpose.

I conduct my classes online, allowing me to reach and support individuals regardless of location. My teaching style balances theory and practice, with a strong focus on hands-on guidance, mindfulness, and gradual improvement. I believe yoga is not just exercise but a powerful tool for long-term physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

My aim is to help people heal, regain control over their health, and build sustainable wellness habits through yoga. I welcome individuals seeking personalized therapeutic support and am committed to guiding them with care, discipline, and a holistic perspective tailored to their specific needs.
