Sunayana was born in the international yoga destination city of Rishikesh, in the foothills of the Himalayas, where she started to practice yoga at age 12. After getting her Bachelor in Psychology and English, she obtained a Post Graduation in Yogic Sciences. Sunayana also holds an International Teachers Training Course Certificate in Himalayan Yoga Meditation from the Swami Rama ashram and a Diploma in Iyengar Yoga from the Yoga Study Center in Rishikesh.

She claims Yoga and meditation help her find inner peace and clarity of mind when it’s clouded with too many thoughts. Her goal is to develop her students' flexibility and strength, while helping them find a balance between graceful movements and body awareness, alignment and flow. She advises her students not to strain themselves as Yoga is, after all, the journey of a lifetime.
