Snigdha Bose recently shared why she stepped away from a secure government job and started a yoga studio. Because of the chronic work pressure and mental fatigue, in an Instagram post, the banker-turned-yogi revealed that after serving as an Assistant Manager at the State Bank of India (SBI), she chose to launch a yoga space.
“A secure career. A decent salary, being an Assistant Manager. The kind of job people often tell you not to leave. “But somewhere along the way, I realised something. “Long hours of sitting, constant stress, mental exhaustion, and very little time to actually connect with my own body had slowly become normal. “But this journey is not just about quitting a corporate job and becoming a yoga teacher. And honestly, you don’t have to. “You can still take care of your body while working a demanding job. You can still build strength, mobility, and calm into your everyday life. You can still feel better without completely changing your life. Watch the video here: A post shared by Snigdha | Certified Yoga & Pranayam Instructor (@tulaa_wellness)
“Because I know not everyone has the privilege or the option to quit.
“I had a stable job at State Bank of India,” Bose wrote in the caption of the video. I was functioning… but I didn’t feel functional,” she said. She is now running Tulaa Wellness Studio in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, and said that her well-being mattered more than financial safety. “Today, I run my own yoga studio – Tulaa Wellness,” she added.
