Forest Hills, US

I am originally from Punjab, India. Coming to the US as a small child, I grew up as an Indian and as an American. I am grateful to my parents who were able to instill the Indian values, customs and language(s) in me. I grew up in a very traditional religious Sikh house. Attending the Gurudwara as a small child allowed me to understand the need of being a bhakti yogi. Growing a little older, gaining more life experience and a curious stance, I felt something was missing. My curiousity led me to take Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Art of Living Training in 2003. Since then, I have been immersed in Yoga. I have taken the 200 hour teacher training with Bamboomoves as well as with Sri Dharma Mittra. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to take teacher training for prenatal, post natal and restorative yoga. Without Yoga, I would not be the person I am today.
