A yoga trainer, Kiran believes yoga is the ultimate solution to all problems. She has taught more than 500 people and tried to bring about positive change in their lives.

Kiran Dave is the owner and CEO of Maitri Yoga Studio.

Kiran belongs to Nathdwara.

Kiran says that she belonged to a middle-class family where girls' lives revolved around just household duties and they were not given freedom to pursue what they wanted to achieve. However, she completed her BA after her marriage and worked as a school teacher. Thereafter, she did an MA in Sanskrit and also got an offer to teach at a college, but she could not accept it as she had to take care of her child.

Kiran shares that she runs her own yoga studio, where Classical Yoga is taught. She teaches all four forms of yoga, i.e. Raj yoga, Karma yoga, Bhakti yoga, and Gyan yoga, so that her clients can work on physical, mental, and spiritual fitness all together. She explains that Raj yoga is all about practicing different asanas; in Bhakti yoga, they offer prayers to deities through havans; in Karma yoga, they collect funds for donations; and lastly, in Gyan yoga, they organize lectures about which yoga is more suitable for a particular person.

Sharing about her journey, Kiran says that she was a housewife and had a limited social circle. She would rarely go out and was getting into depression day by day. Then her husband suggested that she join some yoga courses. Learning yoga changed her life completely. During the pandemic, she realized the benefits of yoga and decided to open her own yoga studio.

When asked about her role models, Kiran says that she has learned to do Maitri yoga from her guru. She feels blessed to have a supportive husband and elder brother-in-law.

Sharing her achievements, Kiran says that she started her Maitri Yoga Studio in 2021 and gradually gained a client base, which is an accomplishment for her.

Kiran’s life mantra is to always smile and be successful.

Expressing her views, Kiran says that experience is important to make a successful career. We should all have one such person in our lives who always motivates and encourages us.
