Hi! I’m a first-generation Indian American yoga teacher, writer, podcaster, and community organizer. I advocate for yoga through a social justice lens and educate and empower individuals and groups around the world to do the same. I accomplish this with the Tejal Yoga online studio, the abcdyogi global community, and the Yoga is Dead Podcast.

I teach two practices a week - Slow Poses and Meditation both focused on the Philosophy of the Yoga Sutra, I offer 1-1 mentoring to yoga teachers, and I offer continuing education for yoga seekers. Reserve your class here.

I am an Indian-American yoga therapist who skillfully adapts yoga and Ayurveda to the individual. I believe that yoga doesn't need to be stripped of its culture and history in order for it to be palatable and beneficial to others. I am deeply interested in the intersection of yoga and social justice, and work to make feeling well accessible to all, but especially those who are often left out of the wellness conversation.

I offer group and individual yoga therapy sessions as well as mentorships, as well as an online library subscription for those who want to practice anytime, anywhere.

I offer a monthly pranayama classes that focuses on the therapeutic applications for breathing practices. Reserve your class here.

I am a South Asian yoga practitioner and lifelong learner of yoga. I believe the integration of your mind, body, and breath is a powerful practice that allows for self-discovery and awareness both on and off the mat. Even as the world evolves, I am committed to sharing yoga from a place of authenticity that embodies the roots of where yoga came from.

Understanding where ancient yogic practices came from allow a better understanding of the original intent of these practices. I believe that when you understand this intention, you will see that the possibilities for growth and transformation through the path of yoga are limitless. I offer public classes at yoga studios in my MI area and also share some of my offerings on YouTube.

Hello! My name is Ria and I am a yoga asana and pranayama teacher, mutual aid organizer, and writer based on Massachusett and Pawtucket land. I am a Bengali-American originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico.

In my teaching, I strive to share the gifts of these powerful healing practices in a decolonial, non-hierarchical manner. I am most passionate about therapeutic yoga for trauma, and while training as a yoga therapist, I hope to create an environment in group classes that empowers individuals to modify the practice to listen to their own bodies and fulfill their own needs.

Sitting in a Yoga Teacher Training course in Toronto is when I realized just how much overlap there was between my Bangladeshi upbringing and this practice. Through learning more about Sanskrit, I understand my own family's language better. Through Yogic philosophy, I understand my own family's traditions better.

When I realized that this is what's actually meant to be taught in Yoga class, I dedicated most areas of my life to sharing the practice in a way that feels truly well rounded and rooted in culture and intention.

Hi friends! I’m alison. I am a white, gender-exploring human. I’m a sibling, partner, parent, poet, yoga instructor, facilitator, creative, justice seeker, student, lover of food, music, and life. I am on stolen Susquehannock land, colonized as Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

As a student and facilitator of yoga I offer space to expand the containers of our “heart space and head space”; to tap into individual and collective empowerment, justice, and care.

At Tejal Yoga, I manage the On-Demand video library and ensure high quality video content for our members. It’s my honor to create the monthly themes assets to showcase the Tejal Yoga teachers’ creativity and curation.
