Ri is a South Asian immigrant, who’s yoga journey began at the age of five, at school in India. Her relationship with yoga deepened during her healing journey, as a trauma survivor (and thriver!)

Her classes are trauma-informed and empowerment-centered, blending her personal journey with her educational background in cognitive neuroscience and her relationship with art, as a fourth-generation musician. Ri believes that the transformative power of art, when integrated with the mind-body connection, can inspire both individual and collective liberation.

Ri is passionate about creating safe spaces, where people feel supported in showing up as their whole, authentic selves; spaces where people can explore their resilience, find grounding, and embrace joy.
