Geeti is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT500), a Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher (TIYT), and a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT). She specializes in serving those with mental health needs.
As a biracial Iranian-Indian American, Geeti grew up with the influences of Islam and Hinduism, and was exposed to diverse contemplative practices early in life.
Geeti’s first introduction to a mind, body, spirit practice was through 15 years of classical Indian dance training in Bharata Natyam.
She eventually took her first formal yoga class in college at the age of 19, and was certified as a yoga therapist in the style of Integrative Yoga Therapy more than a decade later.
Since 2012, Geeti has continued to offer yoga to address mental health issues in medical settings, with a focus on working with survivors of trauma.
