    Yoga Is Not What Social Media Taught You - The Truth Behind the Practice with Nikita Desai

    Yoga is so much bigger than flexibility, flow, or the polished version you see online. Nikita, educator, yoga teacher, and author of The Roots of Yoga, reveals how the practice can support healing, self-inquiry, and emotional resilience - especially when you’re navigating anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or the pressure to feel “fixed.” Nikita opens up about the skydiving accident that injured her spine and led her to search for another way to heal. She reflects on how yoga had already been woven into her life since childhood through Hindu traditions, mantra, seva, puja, and everyday practices. That experience transformed her understanding of yoga from something physical into something deeply philosophical and restorative. You’ll discover: Why yoga is not about looking calm, thin, or hyper-flexibleHow breath work, meditation, and asana can support the nervous systemThe difference between the social-media version of yoga and its deeper rootsWhy Sanskrit names and traditional teachings matterHow concepts like karma, avidya, Purusha, Prakriti, and the koshas offer a lens for understanding sufferingHow to begin a practice if you feel overwhelmed or “not flexible enough”We also explore how practices like box breathing relate to traditional pranayama, how healing tools can be repackaged for Western audiences, and what it means to build a practice that feels authentic rather than performative. Nikita shares how her book offers beginners an entry point into yoga philosophy beyond postures.If you’ve felt called to yoga but struggled with the way it’s marketed, or want a more grounded perspective on healing and the nervous system, this conversation offers a fresh lens on the roots of the practice. Nikita, also known as Nikki Yoga, is an educator, yoga teacher, and author who shares the philosophical roots of yoga and challenges the Westernised, body-focused version of the practice.
