HEMA
Hema is the founder of The Yoga Room and has been a yoga devotee for many years and completed her first teacher training in Boston in 2004 while completing her BSc. in Dietetics.
As many yoga teachers, she sees yoga as a continuing education and is always evolving to become a better teacher. She has studied Yin under teachers Paul Grilley and David Kim. She completed her advanced 300 hours training in Yoga Therapeutics (Svastha Yoga Program) with Dr. Ganesh Mohan. She is a YA registered prenatal and YogaKids teacher.
Hema creates a safe, non-competitive space for her students and believes that yoga should be accessible for all. She has a calm grounding presence and teaches with an ongoing awareness of breath guiding students through sequences which are clear and emphasizes proper alignment, mindfulness and meditation. She believes that Yoga should not stop on the mat but should be reflected in every day actions.
