Rooted in Tradition. Inspired by Teachers.

I’m deeply grateful to the teachers and mentors who have shaped my path, from my family, who continue to teach me daily, to Shree Guruji Shri Balaji Tambe at Atmasantulana Village, whose Ayurvedic wisdom has been a guiding light for decades. My training with Judith Hanson Lasater in anatomy, Restorative Yoga, and Pranayama has also been foundational. Their wisdom — and the lessons I continue to learn from my students — live on in every class I teach.
