🌿 Journey from a Young Yoga Enthusiast to a Beloved Yoga Teacher
Many years ago, in the bustling heart of Delhi, a young girl named Neetu Saini discovered Yoga. By sixth grade, she was already a star, winning competitions and twice earning the prestigious 'Miss Yogini National Award'.
What began as a passion evolved into a life calling after she pursued a Diploma at the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY).
✨ A Turning Point
When Ms. Saini joined MDNIY, she was battling chronic pneumonia and respiratory issues. Her health journey transformed through the cleansing techniques of Shatkarmas.
Yoga not only restored her health but also ignited her confidence. Under the guidance of Dr. Ishwar Basavaraddi, then Director of MDNIY, she learned the power of alignment, breathing, simplicity, and inner peace.
She soon became an inspiring communicator and teacher of Yoga.
📚 Teaching & Growth
Ms. Neetu Saini went on to teach MDNIY’s Foundation Course for three years, touching lives across age groups. Her contributions to the IDY booklets impacted millions nationwide.
Her 2017 visit to China during IDY Week opened her eyes to the global hunger for authentic Yoga. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she led Yoga sessions on Doordarshan and Sansad TV, reaching thousands across the country.
💪 Empowering Women Through Yoga
Ms. Saini passionately believes that Yoga is a powerful tool for women's empowerment. Through her years of teaching, she has witnessed increased female participation in Yoga courses and heard firsthand stories of women prioritizing their health and even achieving financial independence through Yoga.
🌍 Global Impact
During her visit to Denmark (Jan 31 – Feb 2, 2025), Ms. Saini experienced the deep and growing international respect for Yoga.
She credits Prime Minister Narendra Modi for championing Yoga globally and turning it into a respected profession that inspires youth and garners international recognition.
👩🏫 A Beloved Teacher
Graceful, fit, and humble, Ms. Neetu Saini is one of the most recognized and loved faces on the MDNIY campus today.
Her compassion, dedication, and personal connection with her students have earned her widespread admiration. Her journey is a living example of Yoga’s transformative power—impacting health, careers, and entire communities.
