I am a board certified pediatrician , board certified obesity medicine specialist and a certified yoga instructor. My interest in yoga stemmed from my childhood days. I accompanied my parents to learn yoga at a local yoga center. My main interest to go to classes was to savor the herbal drink that was given to us after we completed the session. Slowly I understood fluidity and flexibility of yoga and started enjoying it. During medical school, I did not practice much but when I came to USA post marriage I restarted yoga practice again and was active with a local yoga group.

I was working at federal health center in 2009 where the administration found that I do yoga and asked me if I could teach the staff during lunch break. Initially I was skeptical but later gave it a thought and started teaching. I started enjoying teaching and slowly started classes at home and also in the local Hindu cultural center. I teach about 100 children as part of a religious class at a local temple and also take special yoga classes for autistic children. I am extremely thankful that I am able to use technology and continue teaching yoga through zoom sessions during these unprecedented covid times.
