Sunaina Rekhi

Sunaina Rekhi’s career reads like a study in how far one person can carry a practice they truly believe in. Born in Germany, raised in South Africa, and educated in London, she brings a genuinely global lens to Indian yoga, one that makes her content as accessible to a corporate professional in Mumbai as it is to a wellness seeker in New York.
She holds the distinction of being the first Indian woman to represent India for yoga at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, where she led more than 5,000 world leaders through a practice during International Yoga Day celebrations. She has delivered a TEDx Talk, won the Iconic Health and Wellness Award, the Influential Women’s Award, and has appeared on the cover of Women’s Fitness Magazine. Her own yoga shows are broadcast on Hotstar and Tata Sky, and she has delivered corporate wellness programmes for organisations including Google, Apple, Vodafone, and Porsche. Her collaboration with Clinique to advocate for self-care among women reflects the breadth of her influence beyond the yoga world. More recently, she has launched SunainaStays, her own experiential Airbnb properties in Mumbai and Goa, designed around the principles of tranquility and wellbeing that define her entire brand. With over two decades of experience now woven into a system she calls Yoga for Pain and Emotional Resilience, Sunaina continues to be one of the most compelling and complete voices in Indian wellness.
