Yoga is the practice of tolerating the consequences of being yourself.
—Bhagavad Gita

My Background in YOGA
I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT500), a Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher (TIYT), and a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT). I specialize in serving individuals with mental health needs.
As a biracial Iranian-Indian American, I grew up with the influences of Islam and Hinduism, and I was exposed to diverse contemplative practices early in life.
My first introduction to a mind, body, spirit practice was through 15 years of classical Indian dance training in Bharata Natyam.
I eventually took my first formal yoga class in college at the age of 19, and was certified as a yoga therapist in the style of Integrative Yoga Therapy more than a decade later.
Since 2012, I have continued to offer yoga, mindfulness practices and wellness retreats to address mental health issues in medical settings, with a focus on working with survivors of trauma.
