I was born in Rangoon, Burma and spent my childhood in Kolkata and Delhi, India. I grew up in an environment of cultural togetherness as my father was the director of the Goethe Institute. I moved to Europe when I was ten years old

I discovered dance at the age of fourteen. After a career in ballet in Hamburg, Zurich and Stuttgart, I made my way into the independent scene.

With an osteopath I ran a joint practice for manual and movement therapy in London. This also increasingly influenced my teaching work. I also ran a Yoga/Movement Environment Studio in Wimbledon, London.

I worked in various collectives, developed my own artistic practice, and performed as a performer.  

In 2006 I moved to India, where I lived and worked until 2011. In addition to my creative work I taught, was a mentor for young dance makers and sought collaboration with various Indian artists.

Since 2011 I live and work in Bern. Together with my wife Sunita Asnani, I develop work that blurs the roles of spectator and performer - artistic processes that promote innovation and lateral thinking across all disciplines. We are also active in the business start-up and innovation scene. You can find more information here

In addition to teaching dance professionals and yoga classes, I also guide people in individual sessions , where both Scaravelli yoga, movement and meditative strength training provide a focus - the body between gravity and anti-gravity. 

My artistic journey has led me to collaborate and perform with the BOT collective in Brighton, with Fin Walker at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in London, with Kirstie Simson at the Laban Centre in London and Bern, with William Forsythe in Copenhagen, with Victoria Hauke at the Kampnagelfabrik in Hamburg, and with Anna Huber in Bern.
