Ananya Arsh
Educator
Kolkata
Summary
Dynamic Yoga and Meditation Instructor with a proven track record at Royton Academy, adept at fostering student engagement and utilizing mindfulness techniques. Skilled in compassionate communication and trauma-informed approaches, I successfully guided students through personal growth, enhancing their concentration and self-awareness in a supportive environment. Passionate about holistic health and lifelong learning.
Over the last two years I have delved deeper into spiritual practices with training in Ayurveda, Sound healing, acupressure massage, Reiki and life coaching. More people are dealing with problems of stress and traumas, which affect their work and personal lives. I strongly believe that now more than ever, and in the future, needs such practices to be integrated in the daily lives of students and professionals from all walks of life.
