Kaushik (he/him)
Yoga Instructor
Kaushik discovered yoga at a very unhappy time in his life, being very unhealthy and immobile, he struggled through his very first yoga class. However, between the heated room, challenging postures linked with breath; he found a higher sense of purpose – something clicked and he found himself taking class every single day.
He discovered mindfulness and body awareness through yoga and started to use the lessons he learned on the mat, outside the studio walls. Soon he found himself taking classes everywhere, doing new student specials all over the Bay Area, not only that; he started to become involved in the community.
One day while trying a new studio, he found a teacher who really spoke to him, and after working at the studio for a few months eventually signed up for teacher training.
Since then he’s been bringing that same joy and freedom that he found in those rooms and in that heat to others, his classes are like yoga church with curious and unique sequencing, soulful music. Connecting to self through pranayam and play. He will urge you to dance it out if you need to, and follow your heart. His classes are intellectual without being overbearing; a provocation of a good time.
