Foundations of Yoga: Teacher Training

Hersha has studied Yoga under the guidance of Sri Swami Satchidananda and his system of Integral Yoga since she was a child. She now runs Hersha Yoga: School of Teacher Training which offers 200-hour and yoga therapy training program. Hersha Yoga offers a therapeutic and inward-focused style of yoga as well. Hersha Yoga donates proceeds of all trainings to YAMA Foundation, a unique non-profit she co-founded (which brings yoga, arts and meditation to underserved and vulnerable communities in the poorest parts of Hong Kong).

She has taught in Hong Kong, New York, Spain, Gibraltar, Portugal, and India and has been featured publications including in South China Morning Post (SCMP), Asia Tatler, Global Health & Travel, Liv Magazine and Green Queen. Her meditation practice began in a monastery-style environment but she adapted the practice when she moved back to Hong Kong, started her business, birthed two beautiful children and founded YAMA Foundation. She knows the challenges with making a yoga and meditation practice consistent and mentors many yoga teachers who have on their own merit developed into authentic and successful people.
