Esha Rao

(she/her)

Esha is currently a Physics PhD student at UC Berkeley, a pole dance instructor, and a mehndi/henna artist who was born and raised in New Jersey, but has lived all over the east coast during her active duty service time as a Navy Diver and Submarine Officer. Even though she only received her 200 RYT certification a couple years in Virginia, her background in yoga, spirituality, and meditation stem back to her childhood, as it is deep rooted in her Hindu heritage and Indian culture.  During some of the toughest times of her life/military career thus far, she has relied heavily on the knowledge that peace can be found within ourselves through yoga and meditation. Through her classes, she hopes to spread this kind of wisdom, bring awareness to the roots of yoga/meditation, and increase representation in the yoga community to let it be accessible and open to all. She looks forward to meeting you during her ever flowing journey of learning and growing as a yogi!
