Himanshi Patel

Himanshi is a trauma-informed Indian yoga educator who resides on the ancestral land of the Coast Salish People (Vancouver, BC). Yoga for her goes beyond asanas, wherein she looks at yoga as a process of self-transformation. She aims to help people better understand themselves by working on their body, mind, senses, and beliefs. She is committed to sharing the ancient yogic wisdom with a trauma-sensitive approach and holding the space for herself and those impacted by trauma.  Her asana (yoga postures) classes focus on using the breath to build a connection back to the body. The classes progress slowly by integrating choice-based practice, providing options, and invitational language.
