Yoga Journeys
Hi, I am Swati Dalvi and I am an Ayush level 3 certified instructor for yoga, meditation and Pranayam. I am also trained in Ashtanga yoga and I am lucky to have been guided by wisest of gurus.
To add more to my credentials, I am also a color therapist, certified sound healer and a certified Nutritionist who is fascinated with the magical healing powers of food and nutrition.
Although I have been practicing yoga for over ten years but before I fell in love with yoga. I worked in the Animation Industry for 9 years as a CG Compositing artist in some of the very entertaining and colorful feature films and TV shows. These 9 years also marks the slow beginning of my journey towards yoga.
Work-wise, I was good at what I did and was getting better every day but my personal life was a cocktail of emotional and physical pain. Working in the creative industry and as an artist, helped me find some solace; although temporarily but my work with colors and composition helped me stay disconnected from my emotional pain even while I was going through a very rough patch in my life.
As the days passed me by, I soon entered a phase, where I realized the emotional pain was getting a bit too hot to handle and would often break out as anxiety attack. Every new day greeted me with more difficulties to endure, even the love for my work I have always had; started dwindling and the relief it offered started wearing off too quickly.
I realized my work was being severely affected due to my emotional and physical pain. And before the push comes to shove; I chose to quit my job gracefully to address this big elephant in the room—my wellbeing. It was a tough choice to make in the times when I was in the prime of my carrier where every odd are stacked in my favour. But as they say,’ every dark cloud has a silver lining’. I knew the golden rays of well-being and an opportunity awaits me right behind this dark situation.
I enrolled for yog level 3 teachers training certification. And wow! I couldn't even sit without support for more than 10 minutes—courtesy, spondylitis. Also, I couldn't lift my arms until my shoulders. All these years of neglect had turned my body into a house of pain but I was in no mood to give up without a fight.
Every day I had tough time on my yoga mat, which often leads me to stop a while before I chose to begin again. And every time I chose to return to my yoga mat; my threshold of pain was further put forth and then diminished. My yog practice healed me a little every time.
Slowly, I started healing through yog. But life has its own plans to surprise you. Soon after my TTC I met with an accident. I had a ligament injury. Again that was a new chapter. This took me few years to heal physically and mentally.
But this incident gave me time to think over and cure my depression through yog. And this strength had come from practice of yog. I have been survived only because of yog. Considering the fact that yog helps to improve and cure psyche. Which I had experience during my yog journey.
My life which reeked of emotional and physical pain had started rolling on a sunny road to recovery. Being able to control my body and mind gave me the strength to plough forth with confidence. I am thankful to my gurus who guided me to the light of recovery and self-realization and helped me become a version of myself; I am utterly in love with.
