About Soma

Soma Mukherjee

Soma Mukherjee is a yoga therapist and corporate wellness practitioner based in Pune. She works with organisations and individuals dealing with the physical and psychological effects of sustained work pressure — back pain, sleep disruption, chronic fatigue, RSI, and burnout.

She does not describe what she does as teaching yoga. The work is somatic — using the body's own regulatory systems to undo what overwork and stress have done to it. She assesses each person or team individually, designs a structured protocol, and tracks progress across every session.

She is based in Pune. She works on-site and online. She responds to every enquiry personally.

"Growing up in Jamshedpur, her father — a Santosh Trophy football player and Ranji Trophy cricketer — instilled a standard of consistent, unyielding dedication that preceded the yoga practice and shaped everything that followed."

Classical Lineage

The Direct Lineage

Her foundation was shaped directly by Biswanath Ghosh, nephew of Paramahansa Yogananda.

This was not a modern commercial training—it was a deep, classical immersion where the practice was treated as a fundamental science of living, instilling a discipline that would last decades.

Early Corporate Honours

Growing up in Jamshedpur, her consecutive All-India Championship victories captured institutional attention.

Long before "corporate wellness" was an industry term, she was being personally honoured by titans like Russi Mody and Tata Steel Managing Director J.J. Irani—early acknowledgments of the seriousness she brought to her craft.

What clients say

Not what they thought of the sessions. What changed after.

"It has been a privilege to be Soma's student for more than a decade. She helped me and many of my friends achieve things we never imagined — completing a half marathon in our late fifties, having never run a day in our lives."
