Are you seeking a guest instructor for your 200HR yoga teacher training program?
Along with many years of practice and study, I am also an indigenous knowledge holder. The roots of yoga live in my DNA and I feel my ancestor’s stories that live through me. I transmit this information with true embodiment and felt sense. In addition, after many years of representing Indians in the yoga space where there are few, it is my honor to hold space for those who have shared in that experience of underrepresentation or marginalized identity. My anthropological lens and nature as an “excavator” of truth inform my keen inquiry-based mind, always seeking to uncover the truth and intention behind the narrative being told.
Topics I cover include:
Roots & Origins of Yoga
Social Justice & Cultural Appreciation
Āyurveda: The Art of Living Well
Sanskrit: The Language of Yoga
Mantra, Bhakti Yoga & Vedic Chanting
Yoga Nidrā: Rhythm and Rest
Restorative Yoga Essentials
The Art of Assisting
Bhagavad Gītā & Self-Mastery
Sequencing & Theming
Seat of the Teacher, Finding your Voice
Trauma-Informed Yoga
