Usha fell in love with yoga after taking her first class in upstate NY over twelve years ago. Her passion for yoga and her desire to share this transformative practice led her to complete her teacher training in 2005 and eventually to travel to India in 2007 to further study these ancient teachings.
Usha believes the greatest benefits of yoga are achieved when we allow our asana practice to become a moving meditation through integrating the rhythmic flow of the breath with the mindful movement of the body. She guides her students through this grounding practice with creative sequences, offering fun and challenging poses with attention to healthy alignment and finding ease in the body. Students are encouraged to listen deeply to their body’s inner wisdom with curiosity and compassion in order to develop a personal practice rooted in authenticity and truth.
Usha also has a private practice as a massage and craniosacral therapist. Her valuable knowledge of anatomy and physiology complements her understanding of yoga asanas and alignment. Using a compassionate touch, Usha enjoys offering mindful adjustments to students when appropriate. With joy and gratitude, Usha feels honored to share this healing practice with others.To learn more about Usha please visit her website: www.usharose.massagetherapy.com
