7. Celebrating the Doyenne: Kaavita Das

“For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.” ~ Virginia Woolf. On this International Women's Day, GlobalSpa recognizes and celebrates the women in the industry as we delve into their success mantra they follow, mistakes that have helped them grow, and of course, their WELLNESS philosophy.

Kaavita Das is the Founder & Yoga Faculty of The Pink Lotus Academia. Her journey of movement began at the tender age of three when she initiated training in dance. She has been dedicated to helping enthusiasts live a fitter and well-balanced life armed with sound physical and mental health.

What is your wellness philosophy?

For me wellness involves not just physical wellness but emotional and mental wellness too. I would say the first and foremost is to embrace life, be adaptable, don't get stuck to patterns as truth always lies beyond the set patterns so be willing to open and learn. And as I often say, whatever comes- don't forget to breathe.

Your success mantra?

Sheer hard work and perseverance is the key. Complete focus on the target is must to channelise the work into a successful one.

A Lesson you learned from making a mistake?

That it's okay to make a mistake, how else will you learn otherwise? When the pandemic hit the entire world, I realised the mistake of not having any avenue for people to connect online for classes and that is when the idea of The Pink Lotus Academia struck which was my way to rectify the mistake and bridge the gap.

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

'Its difficult! How can I do it?' Never let this phase get the better of you. Obstacles are part of any race to success, embracing it and working towards overcoming the same is what makes the difference. I was doubtful too when I started The Pink Lotus Academia, however with time I have realised if you want something from the core of your heart and are willing to work towards it then nothing can stop you. The response we got from our students across the globe has made me believe that whatever you ask for, the universe will make sure to give it to you, all you need to do is have faith in your ideas and efforts. The entire sky is there for you. Let no one tell you or anything stop you from doing what you truly believe in. Always remember that self doubt is never a catalyst for victory.

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

Firstly, I don't think I have pride because that would make me complacent. And that's the last thing I want. I still have a long way ahead of me. Ofcourse I am happy that I started my journey from nothing and am able to reach here. But the end is far and I have just begun. So till now if not proud, I would rather say that my journey has been difficult yet fulfilling. However I would take a little sense of pride in making The Pink Lotus Academia and being able to instill the sense of responsibility amongst people towards healthier lifestyles. Also, my aim to successfully promote Indian Art and Culture has been taking shape and has gained brilliant reception.
