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

Embarking on a yoga journey can lead to profound personal transformations that extend far beyond physical fitness. For me, discovering the spiritual and emotional aspects of yoga was a life-changing experience. As a certified 200 hour Yoga Teacher and Sound Healer, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and expertise to help others tap into the full potential of yoga.
My journey began five years ago when I stumbled upon a free yoga class at my gym. I quickly fell in love with the practice and soon realized that there was so much more to it than just physical exercise. Intrigued by the profound mind-body connection that yoga offered, I immersed myself in learning more about this ancient practice. I embarked on a rigorous yoga teacher training program that challenged and expanded my understanding of the practice.
Along the way, I discovered the power of sound healing and was drawn to this transformative practice. I became certified in sound healing and now incorporate it into almost every single one of my classes. Sound healing has the unique ability to quiet the mind and help relax the body, offering students a deeper sense of calm and inner peace.
Being a yoga teacher and sound healer has changed my life in ways I could never have imagined. I am eager to share the knowledge I have gained with others, and help them unlock the full potential of yoga to cultivate a more balanced, harmonious, and fulfilling life.
