118 || FITNESS MAGAZINE || JULY 2015CM: What are some of the projects that you have coming up with teaching?Sid: Well one thing that I want to start doing is creating retreats for Sid Yoga Center. I have been talking to my dad and that is something that I really want to do. I want to be able to explore and to give people the ability to do that with me.CM: I know that you love teaching inversion workshops and also doing inversions in your own practice. Why do you enjoying inversions so much?Sid: I enjoy inversions because it is an invigorating experience to be upside down. In my personal practice the reason I am always doing inversions is because it inspires me to keep going. If I feel like I want to drop down and take child%u2019s pose, if I am going into a posture that allows me to go into an inversion then I would rather do that then take child%u2019s pose because it lifts me back up. It just lifts my spirit up to do inversions so I want to help bring that forward in other people as well.CM: What do you enjoy doing outside of the studio?Sid: I enjoy spending time with my friends. I enjoy going to the movies with my dad and the rest of my family. I also, enjoy just being outside enjoying my own space being able to breath in some fresh air.CM: Who have been the people that inspired you the most through life?Sid: I would have to go with my top three being, one my dad because he has lead me into being the man that I am today which I am forever grateful for. Also, my grandfather because from him to my dad to my grandfather%u2019s father, we all have the same name and it%u2019s inspirational to me to hold that name with pride. To be a Sid and own that name to the fullest. The last person I want to put out there is my little brother. One thing he once said to me was %u201c I do what I do and I do it to my fullest and any time that I feel like I am struggling then I just think of you and dad%u201d. That has been one thing that has inspired my life because I really want to give that to somebody else. If you are down in a rut and feel like you just can%u2019t do it anymore then do it for someone that you love. And I love a lot of people so I have got a lot to do.
