YES Lebanon

Suchitra Uniyal, aka Suchi, yogi at heart, mom to 3 lovely kids.Born in India, raised near the foothills of Himalayas (breathtaking place by the way), I grew up regarding yoga, meditation and kriyas as part of my family's daily ritual.For over 21 years, travelling worldwide, exploring different lineages and yoga style, has been a rewarding experience. Glad to have got many opportunities to teach yoga and meditation classes and workshops in Minnesota, Philadelphia, Kansas, Los Angeles CA, San Diego  CA, Florida, New Jersey and the list goes on.I wanted to diversify my learning and Aerial yoga piqued my interest. Perception of flight and excitement of being off the floor and in the air, prompted me to add aerial to my existing Hatha, Vinyasa and Restorative practice. Couldn't be happier about it. It certainly lifted me up (literally in the hammock, lol)Knowing, my students and I share a special time during our practicing together, teaching yoga holds a distinctive place in my heart. I Moved to the United States, got married and had three kids, while my family or any support and guidance was far far away, and I was oceans apart from them quite literally. It was only my yoga practice that was all along by my side. In essence, my practice played the significant part to carry me wholesomely and healthfully throughout this journey and reinforced a stronger, healthier and happier me.It absolutely made me want to share this gem of a practice with my fellow practitioners or who might be expecting or planning to be a parent. That inspired me to expand my studies further into prenatal yoga. Because why not? And who wouldn't want to be as healthy as possible physically and mentally especially when thinking of bringing a precious new life into this world.Yoga has always been a part of my life but its meaning and importance has been constantly evolving for me as I continue to grow. Only thing that has been consistent is that I have always wanted to share this knowledge and experience with my students. And, I wish to continue doing that.Suchitra Uniyal, RYT 500, and a certified Aerial yoga instructorLove to always grow and learn something new and exciting.
