Dr. Hansa ji graced the 9th Annual Clinical Nutrition Bootcamp as an esteemed panelist at the Taj Santacruz. The event was organized by Dr. Sanjith Saseedharan (Director of Critical Care, S. L. Raheja Hospital) and featured a distinguished panel including Mr. Krishnaprasad (IPS, Ironman), Dr. Vishwanathan Iyer (Bicycle Mayor), Dr. Vatsal Kothari (Chief of Critical Care, Kokilaben Hospital), and Ms. Niti Desai (Celebrity Nutritionist). The gathering brought together doctors, clinicians, nutritionists, wellness experts, researchers, and postgraduate trainees for a meaningful exchange of insights.
In this session, Maa bridged ancient yogic wisdom with modern longevity research, explaining how rhythm, routine, emotional balance, and mindful living form the foundation of true well-being.
She shed light on the body’s natural healing intelligence, the transformative power of slow, steady breathing, and the profound impact of eating with the right bhava.
The discussion further highlighted how consistent yogic habits can influence longevity markers, and how movement, breath, and awareness merge into an integrated science that rewires both the brain and the mind. Together, the panel offered a clear and compassionate roadmap for rehabilitation after illness or stress, reminding us that lasting healing always begins within.

Yoga is often misunderstood as a series of poses or a goal to achieve perfection. But it's true essence emerges only when we let go of struggle , comparison and the urge to control.
