With a flexible body, Damini started practising yoga when she was seven years old. She said, “My yoga coach Surya Vedant taught me different aasans.” To keep herself on the right track, she practices these positions for more than half an hour every day.

She shifted to Sat Paul Mittal School last year only. An alumnus of BCM School on the Chandigarh Road, she had to give up the opportunity of participating in the World Yoga Championship held in Egypt as she could not arrange for sponsors. “I am thankful to my school for recognising my talent and giving me scholarship. This year I was selected for the international yoga championship in Italy but my parents did not allow me to go there alone.”
