Flow, Stillness, and the Art of Becoming: My Yoga Journey in Rishikesh

There are places in the world that change you, not just through the experiences they offer but through the way they strip you bare—leaving only truth, breath, and movement. Rishikesh, India, the birthplace of yoga, was that place for me.

I spent weeks by the sacred Ganges River, immersed in my yoga teacher training, waking up to the chants of temple bells, flowing through asanas as the sun painted the sky golden, and learning that yoga isn’t just about movement—it’s about alchemy. The kind that transforms the way you breathe, the way you hold yourself, and the way you carry the weight of your own existence.

The Bridge Between Two Worlds

Practicing by the Ganga felt like an initiation—each posture a prayer, each inhale a dialogue with something greater than myself. There was a raw beauty in the stillness, in the fluidity, in the awareness of my body as a vessel for something ancient and unspoken.

And in many ways, this experience laid the foundation for Sans Régence, my jewelry brand.

Yoga, Jewelry, and Intention

Both yoga and jewelry hold energy. In Rishikesh, I learned the power of intention, of wearing something with meaning, of creating from a place of reverence. Sans Régence is built on that philosophy—jewelry that isn’t just decorative, but a reflection of the wearer’s spirit, a talisman for their journey. The same way yoga isn’t just a practice but a way of being, my designs aren’t just accessories; they are stories, they are rituals, they are a way to reclaim how we adorn ourselves with presence.

That’s why pieces like the Rishikesh Necklace exist—grounded in memory, carrying the energy of the place that changed me. A reminder that we are fluid, we are untamed, we are our own form of artistry.
 

So whether it’s through movement, through breath, or through the things we choose to wear as second skin—our essence is ours to shape, ours to reclaim.
