Soma-র সাথে কাজ করার অভিজ্ঞতা নিয়ে ক্লায়েন্টরা যা বলেন

I had the privilege of learning from Soma Mukherjee during my time at TRDDC, where she was our yoga and wellness trainer. Looking back, I realise that those sessions gave me much more than an introduction to yoga. Those sessions gave me practices and lessons that have stayed with me over the years.

During my approximately one-and-a-half years of training with her, I learned yoga, various pranayama and breathing techniques, and practical ways of managing and resetting stress. I particularly remember how the breathing practices helped me develop greater awareness of the body and improve my ability to concentrate.

What made Soma an exceptional teacher was her ability to make things simple and accessible. She is very articulate and has a remarkable way of explaining a technique step by step so that even someone completely new to yoga or pranayama can understand it, practise it, and gradually appreciate its purpose.

Her sessions were never merely about spending an hour and a half exercising. There was always something more to take away, a thought, an insight, a different perspective, or simply a better understanding of ourselves. In that sense, she was not only a trainer but also a teacher and mentor.

To me, Soma remains the best teacher and trainer I have had for yoga and breathing practices. I am very happy to see her bringing her years of experience and learning into her new initiative, Body Breath Well. I wish Soma every success in this new beginning. I am sure many more people will benefit from the same clarity, patience, encouragement, and genuine commitment to teaching that I was fortunate to experience.

Best wishes, Soma, for Body Breath Well and for this new chapter!

I had the privilege of knowing Soma during the early years of my career at TRDDC (TCS R&D Centre) in Pune, where she was our yoga coach. I was fortunate to be part of her sessions for a considerable period. What I remember most, even after all these years, is her ever-present smile, warmth and extraordinary ability to encourage everyone around her. We genuinely looked forward to her evening sessions where she brought energy, lightness and joy that helped us leave behind the pressure of corporate life. What made her truly special was her ability to connect with each individual and bring a personal touch even within a group.

Looking back now, with many more years of life and professional experience, I realise that Soma offered us far more than yoga or physical fitness. At a formative stage of our careers, she encouraged us to pause, breathe, listen to ourselves and find balance. Her genuine understanding of people made every session feel personal, meaningful and uplifting.

I have met many remarkable people over the course of my career, but very few whose presence I remember with such warmth after so many years. Soma did not simply conduct yoga sessions at TCS, she created an experience of wellbeing, encouragement and human connection that stayed with us long after the sessions ended. Some people make a difference in the moment; the truly special ones leave an impression that lasts for years. Soma is one of those rare people.

I learned yoga from Soma for 3 to 4 years during my time at TRDDC. Her classes were beautifully structured, seamlessly blending asanas, pranayama, and a proper relaxation session at the end. Beyond yoga, she shared valuable tips on nutrition and weight training. Thanks to consistent practice, I noticed a significant reduction in anxiety, better focus, and improved immunity against coughs and colds. Having such a cheerful instructor made every class a perfect stress reliever and the absolute best way to wind down at the end of the workday.

• Calmed the anxiety
• Improved focus
• Improved flexibility
• I had better sleep
• Made me more efficient at work
• The routine was something to look forward to.
• Gave my body a natural rhythm

It has been a privilege to be Soma's student for more than a decade. She has helped me and many of my friends to take our fitness to a level we did not imagine before we started (think of this - would you attempt and complete a half marathon in your late fifties when you had never done running in your life ?) Training and learning from her is fun, rewarding and a life long relationship. Hope you get the opportunity to benefit from her.

Soma has shown an excellent ability to be an effective physical fitness coach. Her distinguishing point is to make the fitness training in a lighter vein, while executing it with all its necessary seriousness. I have benefitted tremendously with the varying exercises every day, and the apt combination of weights and stretches - I am able to run 21km marathon peacefully. Her emphasis on appropriate and healthy diet has made me wonder about her ability to be a nutritionist as well.

A very important aspect of Soma's fitness hour is her intention to take every participant along, and adapting the exercises to suit all. She has been a boon to our fitness hour.

Soma was the first ever yoga and fitness consultant to be hired at TRDDC. Her expertise and cheerful demeanour were principal factors in converting many a shirker into regular fitness practitioners.

A quality that stands out clearly is her willingness to devise custom regimen to cater to individual needs and ensure it gets followed. The variations she comes up with are quite amazing.

She is a rare combination of in-depth knowledge, passion for work and innate urge to help others. We all are fortunate to have a teacher like hers.

The ever smiling Soma has been the fitness guru of TRDDC/TCS family for over a decade. Besides helping people with their daily routine of Yoga through her excellent teaching methods, she has also provided excellent advise and helped many people overcome fitness related problems through Yoga. Her persuasion skills and perseverance to get people to the gym shows the kind of dedication she has towards Yoga. Her affable personality is her greatest strength.

Soma, as I remember her at TCS-TRDDC, was always seen all around the office encouraging some or other employee to stay fit. The conversation always used to be short and sweet actionable advise so that we start staying healthy with little doses of exercise and yoga. Her subtle sense of humor was kind of indirectly serving as an invitation for every employee to join her in the fitness area in the office. She was really good at offering advice specifically tailor made for an individual. She just brings lots of smiles, which is what I like the most of her. And personally, I respect her a lot for the service she had offered me as a fitness specialist. I would never miss an opportunity if I were asked to recommend a corporate fitness guru, then Soma would be on the top of my radar.

I interacted with Soma during my days at TCS. She is an excellent yoga trainer and general physical trainer. She is also very knowledgeable on health science aspects of exercise and hence, can easily deal with skeptics. She could also customize programs as per need of each client. She created plenty of yoga enthusiasts within TCS. …

I would call Soma a fitness guru in true sense. She not only has the keen sense and knowledge of Yoga but knows how to make people do it! She makes it quite easy for people to follow and do it. I have got some of the best advice on fitness from her which I still follow. She is always available to help. I still take her suggestions even though we are no more in the same office. She is energetic and an expert her field.

Soma has thorough knowledge in the are of physical fitness and pays special attention to personal needs. If you go to her for specific advise she will proactively suggest related exercises. She is very friendly and eager to help. She has high values and integrity. She builds a very good rapport with you and this is what really helps to get great results.

Soma was a fitness trainer for me at TRDDC,Pune for close to 2 years. She is an expert in her field(yoga and fitness) and has a immense ability to put across her point coherently & aptly coupled with humor. She also gives personal attention to every individual. I recommend her for similar position in future.

I know Soma Mukharjee since i work in Tata Consultancy Services. She teaches Yoga in our company and she does it very well no doubt. Soma is also very good fitness consultant. She always guide associates to keep thereselves healthy and cheerful. She has complete idea about hectic environment in corporate industry and so she can help associates in very well manner. Soma is a very good in her work.
