Hi! I’m Nisha.

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. There was 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. The class was so uncomfortable, yet at the same time, I always felt so good afterwards.

When I stopped dancing, I stopped practicing yoga. It took five years before I was reintroduced to the practice. Over a span of 30 years, I explored many yoga styles from Ashtanga to Bikram, Power, Yin, and Aerial. Each style taught me something new about yoga, movement and breath, but I still didn’t fully understand yoga, nor did I truly feel like I belonged until I went through yoga teacher training. That’s when everything finally started to make sense. Yoga is about presence and the courage to surrender to your authentic self.

Why I Teach

I teach because yoga transformed my relationship with my mind and body and taught me how to move and be still in ways I never thought were possible. That personal transformation became a calling to help others discover their own freedom.

I believe in people's capacity to transform just as I did. I understand what it feels like to be drawn to something that challenges everything you thought you knew about yourself and to discover that true transformation begins the moment you show up for yourself regardless of the narrative playing in your head. Whether you’re carrying the weight of daily responsibilities or simply looking for a space where you’re understood, I hold space for you to believe in your body, your mind, and your breath.

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 with this reality.
