About Me

My story is about how YogaShakti studio was established in the year 2000. 
I practiced Hatha Yoga in India in my young teens, and after coming to America in 1982, I went away from my yoga practice with work, raising children etc. One thing always was in the back of my mind was to go back to my yoga practice. Nothing made me feel calm and centered as the practice of postures(asanas), pranayama( yogic breathwork) and meditation which my Guru in India taught me. 

As I was looking for a studio, they were just a handful and nothing close to where I was living at that time in Florida. In 1997 after moving to Tarpon Springs once again, the guidance was asking me to go back to my practice. At that time, I went to our local YMCA and attended their first yoga session. The instructor was wonderful, but it lacked the spirit of yoga. The music, people, coming in with shoes on, and there was no chanting of OM, which is the connector to the creator, so at that time, I listened to my guidance and daringly took the step forward to open the studio in Safety Harbor in 2000 and in 2004 moved to the present location. It’s been an incredible journey thus far. 
Last year I joined the course for Measured Yoga Therapy with LifeInYoga. By next spring, I will get my certification. I have learned so much about how the practice of yoga can transform our lives and live a healthy lifestyle, not just in physical sense but stay centered no matter what is happening around us
