​Hello Everyone, ​My name is Ashray Sood. ​A Brief History: I was born in India and raised in Kenya, and I lived in the UK and Canada during my university years. Having been born with severe eczema and bronchitis, it was traditional, classical Hatha Kriya Yoga that restored my health. Consequently, I became deeply interested in the spiritual sciences—specifically the internal arts. ​After living for two years at the Isha Yoga Centre, I now teach Yoga alongside other fitness modalities, including Pilates, Calisthenics, Mobility, and Power Bands. While it is incredibly rewarding to help people reclaim their health, I have noticed that in our modern, material world, few prioritize spiritual growth. For a long time, I felt a deep sense of something missing. Following an extensive search for that "missing piece," I discovered Tai Chi. ​I am very happy to be here and look forward to getting to know you all. ​Best Regards, ​Ashray Sood

Hello everyone I enjoy energy balance work. The world and our lives are so hectic we forget to take time to breathe and really see people and the natural world around us.

👋🏽 I'm excited to be here and looking forward to moving through the SOHMA program! As a new Qigong instructor, I was in search of a community of folks who are committed to Qigong and Tai Chi. It has impacted my life in the best way, and I get the privilege of interacting with folks several times a week who are experiencing amazing benefits in the classes I get to lead. I can't say enough about how much I love this practice and now I get to expand my knowledge, experience and connections here. I'm tickled to be part of this community!
