When one discovers their true Ikigai—the reason for being—nothing can stand in their way. For Reshma, that discovery came after more than a decade working in the IT industry. It was during this time that she realised her true passion lay in yoga.

The profound value of health became crystal clear to her when she was diagnosed with tuberculosis, one of the most life-threatening diseases in the world. This experience opened her eyes to the most powerful thing in life: the ability to take control of one’s health. After her TB treatment, Reshma embarked on a journey towards leading a healthier, mindful life.

Yoga soon became more than just a practice—it became a calling. Reshma knew that this ancient discipline held the transformative power to not only change her own life but also the lives of others who embraced it. She immersed herself in the values of yoga, recognising its capacity to nurture warmth, balance, and healing in every individual’s life.

Despite the doubts of others, Reshma made a bold decision to leave her corporate career behind. While many thought she was crazy, she followed her heart, faced the challenges head-on, and eventually emerged as a successful yoga instructor, beloved by many. Her journey culminated in the creation of Trillion Smile Yoga, a platform dedicated to spreading the transformative power of yoga.
