Our Vision
Like the thousand-petalled lotus, Sahasrara — a state where body, mind, and spirit align.
Empowering women to build inner strength, awaken their Shakti, and find deep contentment.
Thousand Petals envisions a nurturing yoga and wellness space dedicated to empowering women to build inner strength, reconnect with their inner self, awaken their Shakti, and find deep contentment through conscious self-care practices. We support women in navigating the major transitions of life — puberty, motherhood, perimenopause, menopause, and the empty-nest phase — with awareness, resilience, and grace.
Our vision is rooted in a holistic blend of traditional yogic wisdom and modern mental-health support, offered within a safe, inclusive, and compassionate environment. Alongside women-focused programs, we extend our care to children, families, and seniors — enhancing the entire family ecosystem. Through daily yoga classes, kids' yoga camps, family-centered practices, and emotional wellness workshops, we create pathways for balance, self-healing, connection, and self-discovery.
At the heart of Thousand Petals is the intention to help rediscover the life essence in oneself through ancient Indian spiritual wisdom. We draw inspiration from sacred texts such as the Lalita Sahasranama — a powerful hymn honouring the Divine Feminine which embodies strength, compassion, clarity, independence, and creative intelligence. Its vibrational potency serves as a tool for inner transformation and the remembrance of a woman's inherent power.
The name “Thousand Petals” symbolizes the blossoming of true awareness, much like the thousand-petalled lotus — the Sahasrara Chakra. A state where one fully steps into her wisdom, wholeness, and inner radiance.

My daughter is learning teen yoga with Poornima and I am super satisfied with her learning.. my daughter was not sure earlier about yoga but after her first session she found it so amazing and never missed her session. Thanks to Poornima for being such amazing teacher🙏

Poornima she is such an incredible yoga teacher I have no words to express how amazingly she taught teens yoga during this summer. My child attended her teen yoga program this summer she really enjoyed it. She never did any yoga before but her first class only she felt so light and energetic. The way she teaches the children is really inspiring. She explains each and every terminology in yoga and also the benefits , at the end she rewards them with surprising gifts. The way she teaches according to each individual needs is amazing. She has very strong knowledge about the yoga practice without a second thought I highly recommend her to enrol your kid to the yoga program if you are looking one for your teen. Your kid will definitely benefit from it if you start yoga practice at their young age. Thank you Poornima you are a blessing to our younger generation 🙏

Poornima has helped me build real awareness around healthy eating, exercise, and daily habits — at 65, it's a long road, but she's given me a strong start toward a sustainable lifestyle. Her guidance through breathing techniques, chair yoga, strength work, and relaxation practices has brought real calm and balance to my routine. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking trusted, compassionate guidance toward better health.

After every session, I feel empowered, revived, and truly uplifted. Each time, I walk away feeling like a better version of myself. As a working mom of three, it's not always easy to find time for myself but this yoga practice has given me that space.. ME TIME! Thank you so much for guiding!.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Poornima as a yoga teacher. From the very beginning, not only did she guide my daughter through fun and engaging yoga sessions, but she also gently introduced techniques that helped ease her mind and relax her body. I noticed a big improvement in my daughter's ability to unwind at the end of the day, and her sleep quality has gotten so much better. She seems more at peace, more balanced, and better equipped to handle stress in her own little world. She also teaches kids about positive thinking, how it affects our whole mind, body, and soul. Poornima genuinely cares and puts her heart into what she does. I'm so grateful for the positive influence she's had on my daughter's well-being. Highly recommend to any parent looking to support their child's mental and emotional health in a gentle, natural way.

I highly recommend Poornima as a yoga, nutrition, and fitness coach. She is one of the people who introduced me to meditation and helped me understand the importance of proper nutrition. Earlier, I used to believe that eating anything like rice would automatically give me the nutrition I needed. She taught me how to be mindful about what my body actually requires and how to track it. I had been struggling with anemia for a long time, and yesterday my test results finally showed that my hemoglobin level has crossed the normal range. I truly believe her guidance on diet, lifestyle, and mindfulness played a big role in this change. She is a great teacher for anyone who wants to build a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

I have been doing Yoga with Poornima since 9 months now - 3 days a week . What a solution for my longtime problems !! My lower back pain , my menstrual cycles, my mood, my body flexibility and my self good feel - all at next level 😍 Her problem focused teaching is unique. She does homework before she takes every class with new advances in every postures and asanas - that’s I love the most! Even though it’s Online yoga classes- she catches if you are cheating with less stretch 😆 that’s possible only when she practise herself!!! Overall I recommend her to all my friends and ladies. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I didn't realize there were so many yoga variations possible without any equipment. With my SI joint and groin challenges, I had assumed yoga or certain body movements weren't suitable for me. Through this personalized sessions, I've discovered safe and effective options that work for my body. I now feel confident that I can stay active while gradually improving my mobility.
