What you’ll receive from my mentorship:

I have 12+ years of teaching experience, and have been practicing yoga for 25+ years. One of my passions is to help yoga teachers and space holders deepen their personal practice and to develop clarity and confidence in how they hold space for their communities. I aim to do this by drawing from my experiences in offering yoga to diverse populations, social justice, and as a first generation Indian-American person.

- Support and guidance to yoga teachers and space holders in their development with their teaching and personal practice.

- Develop a cultural and decolonized lens in teaching yoga asana, pranayama, and meditation.

- Support PGM (people of the global majority) in navigating the white-centered wellness industry, and reclaiming agency and trust within.

How It Works:

  • Set up a free 15 minute call with me to ask questions and discuss what you are interested in working on.

  • Initial mentorship session is 90 minutes, and includes an intake to develop a personal practice for you.

  • Follow up sessions are 60 minutes. In these follow up sessions, we’ll discuss how your personal practice is going, and then hone in on chosen topics of interest (mantra, philosophy, sequencing, language, etc.).

  • Recommended frequency of sessions is every 2-4 weeks, but is adapted to what is appropriate and feasible you. Book a call and let’s discuss!
