A Morning of Stillness at Sree Adikesava Perumal Temple

Stone entrance of Sree Adikesava Perumal Temple with detailed carvings, a sculpted deities panel above the doorway, and trees surrounding the structure

Today I visited the serene Sree Adikesava Perumal Temple — a place where quiet devotion and timeless craftsmanship meet.

The broad granite steps lead up to an inner sanctum framed by exquisitely carved wooden beams and painted panels, while moss-covered sculptures and a canopy of tall trees lend the site a gentle, contemplative hush.

Moving through the temple grounds felt like stepping back into a living story of faith, art, and nature — simple, soulful, and utterly unforgettable.

As someone who teaches and practices yoga, spaces like these remind me how naturally the body softens and the breath deepens when we stand in the presence of stillness. The temple’s silence feels like its own form of meditation — grounding, spacious, and quietly uplifting.

May your day carry a little of this calm too.

A sacred spot of devotion, where lord Rama and Sita once drank water

Standing at this sacred spot, where Lord Rama and Sita are believed to have once quenched their thirst, I felt a deep sense of reverence and connection. As a yoga teacher, I often speak about grounding ourselves in the present moment, and here, with the vast ocean stretching beyond, I was reminded of the power of devotion, surrender, and faith. Just as yoga teaches us to flow with life’s currents, this place carries the energy of an ancient journey, one of resilience, purpose, and divine alignment. This experience continues to inspire my practice, bringing depth and meaning to the teachings I share in Welwyn Garden City.

Blessed to visit the sacred Rameshwaram Temple in Tamil Nadu, India, a symbol of devotion and spiritual energy

Visiting Rameshwaram Temple was a deeply moving experience for me. As a yoga teacher, I am always drawn to places of profound spiritual energy, and stepping into this sacred space felt like entering another realm. Walking through the temple’s ancient corridors, surrounded by intricate carvings and centuries of devotion, I felt a deep sense of stillness, a reminder that yoga is not just about movement but about connection, presence, and something greater than ourselves. This journey has inspired my teachings, bringing the essence of ancient wisdom into my yoga practice in Welwyn Garden City.
