Hi, I’m Aruna and I write the Young Yoga Masters blog with a focus on tools for kids yoga teachers. I’m also co-Director of the Young Yoga Masters Kids Yoga Teacher Training and the Ambassador Yoga Teacher Training for Teens, both Yoga Alliance registered schools. Thanks for taking a look around the website. Here’s a little about my background.
It may be a surprise to anyone who knew me as a child that I’m a yoga teacher. You see, I was never an athlete in school and I’m just going to chalk that up to being a November baby, so, much less coordinated than most of my peers. The only teams I was on in grade school or high school were outside the gym, like the math team and the school newspaper. I was a bit of a party girl too.
Still, I graduated from University with an Arts Degree in 1990, to the delight of my parents, but never really knew what I wanted to do. Drawn to a life of service, I found my first full-time job working with homeless women at an overnight shelter then branched out to work with street youth and adults.
Then one day my life turned upside down when I was assaulted on the job. It was a difficult time because I was under the mistaken belief that I was immune from violence against women. It led me to rethink a lot of things in my life. I needed to find solid ground to stand on again. You can read more about that traumatic time of my life at this link.
