What started as a random fluke turned into a brand I wasn’t always Yogasini. I was this shy, timid, under confident, suffering from social anxiety kind of person. Second guessed my self !

I played tennis, swam and learnt classical dance from…

Obliques Try wearing low waist jeans, there goes those lumps flopping from the sides. Try wearing a bodycon dress; the side piece of flesh just pops out even more. You could have a toned flat stomach but still struggle with love handles. I can easily tone any part of my body with regular exercising but my obliques give me nightmares. That’s the only part of my body I…
