I am a yoga and meditation teacher and an expressive arts therapist of South Asian descent. I design and hold nurturing and healing spaces that combine somatic, body-based meditation practices with expression through various art forms. My family's spiritual lineage is in tantric practices, which form the foundation of my work. In my own healing journey, meditative practices and creativity were the most important tools to reclaim playfulness, joy and connection in my life. I have been hosting virtual Meditate & Create groups so we can play together virtually during these times of COVID-19 and civil rights action.
