As a teacher, I love working with beginners who are just finding their way. I try to keep the mood light because, after all, a pose is just a pose. I completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at Be Here Now Yoga. One class became two, which then became three. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Prachi is a certified yoga instructor (YTT 200) in the Pranakriya tradition, which incorporates breath work or pranayama as an integral part of the yoga practice. She first learned about yoga and meditation in elementary school when growing up in India but started embracing it as part of her lifestyle decades later, after moving to the US and realizing its benefits with consistent practice. Prachi has been deeply influenced by the teachings of the Art of Living Foundation and regularly practices Sudarshan Kriya (or SKY), a unique, powerful yet simple rhythmic breathing technique that incorporates specific natural rhythms of the breath, harmonizing the body, mind, and emotions. The technique eliminates stress, fatigue, and negative emotions such as anger, frustration, and depression, leaving the mind calm, and focused and the body energized, and completely relaxed. Prachi teaches Kriya yoga which is a slow gentle flow incorporating mindfulness, and pranayama which allows the body, mind, and spirit to go into a meditative state throughout the practice. She brings energy and enthusiasm to her yoga practice and is eager to share the benefits of this practice with the community.

Prachi is passionate about health, wellness, and disease prevention and works as a Health Scientist in public health at a federal government agency.
