My relationship with yoga began as a child, when I had to sit in lotus pose every morning before school chanting mantras, nursery rhymes and the multiplication tables.. In that order! Not my favorite thing to do as a 6-year old, but somewhere along the way I found that that practice gave me a strong sense of grounding and peace in an otherwise chaotic world.

I discovered Vinyasa at Kaya Yoga when I moved to Davis from India and have been practicing at the studio since 2008. I completed my 200-hr RYT with Kia Meaux in 2018. My focus as I move from being a student to a teacher is to awaken the yogi in every individual, and guide them towards inner stillness through asana, pranayama and meditation. I am deeply influenced by the classical tradition of hatha yoga and my teaching practice is informed by  my daily personal practice. In my classes, you can expect yoga philosophy, a strong alignment-based physical practice, advanced asanas with variations, pranayama, seated meditation and cues to help you establish or advance your personal yoga practice.
