Menik officially enrolled in her first yoga class in January 2015 in order to seek balance between long working hours as a medical doctor in hospital and self-love practice. It turned out was a totally rewarding experience for her, not only in physical level but also gave her a sense of tranquillity when she surrendered in Savasana. Since then yoga has become an important part of her life. Not long after, she completed her 200hr Hatha Yoga Teacher Training through Sama Yoga School in April 2016.

Morning intensive class
The Morning Intensives are the daily asana practice (7–9am) daily, including asana, pranayama and meditation.
They are an integral part of the programme where techniques are learned, skills are sharpened and the fire of transformation is fuelled. The commitment to practising with the same group of yogis over an extended period of time has enormous power in it.
This part of the programme is open to students who desire a life-affirming shift, but are not participating in the full Teacher Training. Those registered in the Full Teacher Training have this included in the course.
