Meet the Founder

Hey Y’all! I’m Nisha.

Maybe you’ve tried yoga before but didn’t enjoy it. Perhaps the yoga instructor made you feel uncomfortable. I’ve been there. My relationship with yoga began unexpectedly. I was a dancer required to take Yin yoga, an “exercise” I'd never heard of. Unlike today's classes, there were no props or music; just an instructor with a heavy accent cueing positions in a language I didn't recognize, a gong marking transitions between positions, and the uncomfortable silence that forced me to sit with my own thoughts.

Yoga to me was nothing more than a stretching class, another form of exercise that seemed daunting, but I always felt so good afterwards. When I stopped dancing, I stopped practicing yoga, or so I thought. Over a span of 30 years, I explored many forms from Ashtanga and Vinyasa to Bikram, Power, Yin, and Aerial. Each style taught me something new about movement and breath, but I didn’t fully understand yoga, nor did I feel like I belonged. What pierced me the most was my devotion to God was questioned by those I loved and respected. I wandered away many times, but yoga always called me back. Something deeper was happening beneath the surface even if I couldn’t name it yet.

Why I Teach

After a series of serendipitous events, I was led to enroll in yoga teacher training. My motivation was to finally understand what yoga was about. I really hadn’t considered teaching. Early in the course, I was introduced to the Yamas and Niyamas, and I felt so unworthy to practice yoga let alone teach others. Months after I completed the course, it all started to click. My personal healing transformed into a calling to help others experience the same benefits I had discovered.

I chose to teach because I understand the struggle. I know what it feels like to be drawn to something that challenges your comfort zone and to discover that healing begins the moment you show up for yourself regardless of the narrative playing in your head.

What I Hold Sacred

“If you can't see God in all, you can't see God at all. See God in all." - Yogi Bhajan

I believe everything is connected. The same breath that fills our lungs sustains every living creature. The elements that create fire and air in nature exist within our bodies. The quantum forces that govern the stars also guide the rhythm of our hearts. We are part of something magnificent and vast, and yoga helps us accept this reality.

Yoga is for every soul, every body, every path. It goes beyond social media-worthy poses and flexibility. True yoga is about presence and the courage to surrender to your authentic self.
