Face of CoverMe secures regular teaching job through the app

12 Dec 2023
/ CoverMe
In 2020, 36-year-old Aparna started teaching yoga in her home country of India, following a successful 10-year career as an actress and model and a two-year stint as a flight attendant with Qatar Airways.

She explains: “As an actress and model I worked with some renowned names, but when opportunities became slower in 2017 I got a little restless and joined Qatar Airways in order to travel.

“I visited about 50 different countries around the world before coming back to Mumbai to start my yoga teacher training courses, almost four years ago now.”

10 months ago, Aparna moved to London with her husband, the comedian and actor Aadar Malik, and was keen to continue teaching yoga, as well as her modelling journey.

She says: “I reached out to studios to find work, and started teaching a few times a week at different venues near to my home, where I was also introduced to the CoverMe app.

“The best thing CoverMe has done is secure me a regular teaching job. I started using the app to find cover classes and went on to get a permanent class at a local studio, which I’m thrilled about. I also became one of the faces of CoverMe, securing one of my first UK modelling assignments through the app.”

Showcasing qualifications
Aparna is deeply invested in her teacher training, having dedicated 500 hours to different courses, including a Yoga Sutra course with India’s prestigious Kaivalyadhama Yoga Institute & Research Center.

She is certified in Trauma Informed Yoga and teaches Vinyasa flows, Hatha flows, Slow flows, Power Yoga, yoga and meditation, as well as breathwork and meditation.

She has also completed a certified course on Samkhya philosophy; the base philosophy of yoga. But her biggest passions are leading Chakra Yoga, breathwork and meditation and Yoga Nidra sessions.

She says: “The most important thing for me was the ability to add all my training certificates to the CoverMe app. I'm proud of my qualifications and want to showcase them to make me stand out from the crowd”.

Aparna believes her strong bio also helped her get noticed by club managers.

She explains: “I listed my styles of teaching, areas of expertise and the things I’m most passionate about in my CoverMe profile to give potential employers a good idea of who they would be hiring.”

This, along with lots of images showing Aparna teaching, proved a winning formula, helping her to find regular work teaching the classes she loves within months of arriving in a new country.
