A Transformative Journey: From IT to Yoga -Renuka Pachange

Transformations Fueled by Yoga: A Personal Reflection

Transitioning from IT to Yoga has had a transformative impact on my life. Initially, I was drawn to the idea of a successful career in IT, but I came to realize the detrimental impact it had on my physical, mental, and emotional health. The constant demands, tight deadlines, and unbalanced lifestyle left me feeling overwhelmed and excessively stressed. This realization prompted me to search for balance. Yoga soon became the guiding light, offering a comprehensive approach to physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. It equipped me with the tools and philosophies necessary to navigate the complexities of my professional life and find harmony.

Commencing my yoga journey at a local class, the asanas swiftly became the remedy for my physical discomforts and body aches, infusing vitality into my being. Simultaneously, pranayama exercises enhanced my lung capacity, gradually dissolving layers of accumulated distress and anxiety. What began as a quest for balance fransformed into a pivotal decision to bid farewell to my IT career and immerse myself as a certified yoga instructor. This choice didn’t emerge hastily; it sprang from an inner calling to share yoga’s transformative prowess, a force that had profoundly impacted my life. Today, as a certified instructor, I find purpose and joy in imparting yoga’s wisdom and benefits to others. Yoga hasn’t just redirected my life’s path and choices; it has become a conduit guiding me toward a purposeful, content, and joyous existence.

I owe all my accomplishments to my guru, Yogacharya Dhakaram. He’s not just a
prominent yoga teacher but also the visionary behind YogaPeace and Ekam Yoga. His
dedication and passion for learning are remarkable, evident from his two-time international
gold medals and numerous national awards. Without his guidance, none of this would have
been possible.
