Sucharita's Story
Sucharita grew up in Gujarat, India, in a Bengali family. She was raised with love by her parents and elder sister. Her early education took place in a Naval School, where she had the opportunity to grow up with children from diverse cultural, regional, and religious backgrounds. She embraced diversity, appreciating both the uniqueness and commonalities that unite people beyond superficial differences.
From childhood, she was an artist at heart, equally passionate about arts and science. She dreamed of becoming a doctor but pursued engineering due to lower grades—a pivotal turning point in her life. This first major failure led her to an invaluable lesson: she learned how to learn. Though she once disliked physics, she mastered it, earning a Gold Medal in Electronics and Communication Engineering. More than engineering itself, she discovered the art and science of learning during this phase. It was also when she met her best friend and life partner, Pralesh.
Her parents, Shri Sanat Kumar Biswas and Shri Sanchita Biswas, supported her dream of studying in America despite financial challenges. She pursued a Master's in Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, where she was deeply influenced by her favorite professor, Gandhi Puvvada. She developed a fascination for computer architecture and the wonders of CPUs. California’s diversity captivated her, and she fell in love with the place.
After graduation, she worked at Sun Microsystems, Oracle, and Altera, excelling in the industry with her natural passion and leadership skills. However, when she had her second child, she made the heartfelt decision to leave her career to raise her daughters. She firmly believes that one should always follow the heart, as it is the compass of the soul. This decision marked the second major turning point in her life. Choosing to live without regret, she devoted herself to motherhood.
During her third pregnancy at age 37, she found herself physically weak and with ample time to reflect on life. The illnesses of loved ones troubled her, sparking her interest in neuroscience. Lying on her couch, she delved deep into the subject, leading her to a Yoga Teacher Training program in 2020. This marked the third turning point in her life. Through this training, she was introduced to human anatomy, physiology, Ayurveda, Yog Shastras, color therapy, acupressure, Yagna therapy, along with asanas and pranayama. She also connected with expert yogis who profoundly influenced her. The 300-hour training transformed both her mind and body.
Yoga became her passion as she regained her physical and mental health. The teachings of Maharishi Patanjali’s Yog Sutras changed her perspective on life. She explored meditation, pranayama, and chakras, engaging in deep spiritual discussions with her best friend, Chinar. As she synthesized meditation, chakras, pranayama, affirmations, Manasi puja, Navadha Bhakti, and mentorship, she developed Pran Chakra Pujanam, a technique that integrates these elements into a holistic practice.
Remarkably, even as a mother of three, she found herself healthier than she had been in her twenties. She began teaching her sister, Sumita Manish, marking the fourth turning point of her life. Teaching her loved ones reinforced her belief: what you may struggle to do for yourself, you can easily do for those you love. Her sister introduced her to the 5 AM club, a discipline that significantly enhanced her life.
Then, tragedy struck—one of her beloved brothers suffered a heart attack. By then, she knew that such an event could have been completely prevented. This realization motivated her to gather friends and loved ones interested in yoga, leading her to teach a two-month Pran Chakra Pujanam and Asana Protocol course. Since then, she has never stopped teaching.
Over the years, she has accumulated more than 3,500 hours of teaching and guided over 250 students through therapy, consultation, and physical yoga instruction. She is grateful for the unwavering support of her best friends, Dr. Trupti Kotecha and Dr. Disha Taljiya, who have guided her with their expertise in diseases, anatomy, and physiology, helping her better serve her students.
Her kids' yoga journey began with her own daughters—Juhi, Haripriya, and Kesar—and soon expanded, thanks to the trust of her friends Bindi, Pankti, Nidhi, and Minal, whose children became her first official students. Teaching these priceless little souls the art and science of yoga was a magical experience.
Throughout her journey, Pralesh has been her pillar of strength, offering her the freedom to follow her heart with his fairness, kindness, compassion, and unwavering support.
She is deeply grateful to every person she has encountered, believing that each soul has brought love, compassion, and valuable lessons.
Her greatest wish is to share the magic of yoga with the world, so that all may lead healthy, mindful, and purposeful lives.
