Yoga has been part of my life and my lineage since before I can remember. I am of North Indian heritage, where yoga is known to have originated. My grandmother and mother first introduced me to yoga as a child, and I grew up going to classes in a temple and community center. I am a highly trained alignment-based hatha yoga teacher with specializations in trauma-sensitive teaching (with a focus on mental wellness) and a particular interest in yin, gentle flow and restorative. My approach to yoga is heart-centered, alignment focused, and to promote safety in the body to explore new avenues of awareness. I have been practising yoga for over 17 years and teaching in a variety of settings since 2012.
Here is a brief breakdown of my yoga related professional experience:
