Usha is a free spirit and outdoor enthusiast with a passion for coding, traveling, hiking, and yoga. She has made California her home. Working as a software engineer in Silicon Valley, she discovered the profound impact of integrating mind, body, and spirit on overall well-being. Yoga has always been a significant part of her life, offering a vital refuge from daily stressors.
Usha’s yoga journey began at the age of 15 when her father introduced her to Vivekananda and Shivananda Yoga. Her practice deepened as she explored the teachings of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Jiddu and Paramahamsa Yogananda. In 2006, she earned her Iyengar Yoga certification and later broadened her practice with Vipassana meditation. She loved incorporating many of the eight limbs of yoga into her teaching. This inspired her to complete an intensive two-year Gitananda Pranayama Teacher Training, which included immersive training in Pondicherry and Wales. As a teacher of the Eight Limbs of Yoga, Usha is committed to guiding others on a path of well-being and self-discovery.
