Kevala discovered yoga and meditation after enduring years of severe trauma and complex PTSD. When traditional psychotherapy and even somatics didn’t provide the relief she sought, yoga revealed a different path. Through its integration of breath, āsana, and, most importantly, internal awareness and self-study, yoga became more than a physical practice—it became a gateway to deep reflection and internal connection. By turning inward and examining the patterns of her mind and body, Kevala was able to release the trauma stored within her and find profound healing. This process of inner work not only transformed her life off the mat but also introduced her to a spiritual dimension of healing, offering a peace and sense of Self she had never imagined possible. For her, yoga is not just something you do—it is a state of being and a way of experiencing life.

As a dedicated student of Yoga, Meditation, Prāṇāyāma, Chanting, and Yoga Philosophy, Kevala has immersed herself deeply in these ancient traditions. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher, a Yoga Therapist in-training, and is currently pursuing her MS/Ph.D. in Yoga Science at Vivekananda Yoga University. With a specialization in Yoga for Trauma Recovery and Spiritual teachings, Kevala combines her comprehensive training with her own lived experience to compassionately guide others on their healing and Self-discovery journeys.

Her mission is to shift the perception of yoga in the U.S. from a fitness routine to a powerful therapeutic modality and an accessible spiritual practice, deeply rooted in its ancient traditions and capable of transforming lives.
