Reena is passionate about well-being, in particular the practice of Meditation and how a short-sustained practice can significantly improve your mental health. From early on, Reena understood the benefits of mindful practice after suffering from severe anxiety at the age of 18. She is no stranger to losing a sense of control and not having the right techniques to manage stress. Reena found Meditation as the only tool that gave her both a healthy and positive mind.
Since finding the practice of Meditation, Reena went on to establish her own Yoga and Meditation community, dedicating her time fully to building a successful and thriving community in Loughborough. The Covid19 pandemic also inspired Reena to create Inner8, a concept focusing on yoga psychology and the 8 limbs, as a pathway to Meditation. Reena also has a special interest in bringing these concepts to improve leadership behaviours and psycho-social risk management in the workplace.
Reena is no stranger to Leadership, and for many years had a successful career in Risk Management, working extremely hard to establish herself as a trusted and senior management professional. In 2014, Reena left her job, and soon after, focus on her own well-being and helping others became her main priority. During the term breaks and non teaching weeks, Reena travelled internationally for teacher training, staying in ashrams, where intense daily practice was the norm. Her own practice and experiences became the driving force for her teaching style and offering.
Working with Reena
Reena has a natural ability to empathise and can bring much lightness to her work. Her sessions are inspiring and engaging, professional, yet very relaxed. Reena has established herself as an authentic and trusted teacher, with clients repeatedly returning to her workshops after many years.
Inner8 Innovation
Reena has strong links with Leicestershire Universities and the Council, and was supported by Loughborough University, Charnwood Borough, and Leicester City Council for her vision for Inner8. Also, as a Masters graduate of Loughborough University’s Business School, the Alumni department wrote an article on Reena’s plans in the early stages of Inner8’s development. You can read it here
