My Yoga Journey and Teaching Highlights
This collection captures the reality of my practice—from the early days of finding balance to where I am now. See how I use props, modify flows, and find steady ground through both the breakthroughs and the bruises.
This pose, for me, is like a physical expression of finding harmony within yourself. It requires focus, flexibility, and a quiet mind, which are the core principles I bring into my Hatha and Ashtanga yoga classes.

This video shares my real and raw journey with Pincha Mayurasana, a challenging forearm stand. It shows the struggle, the setbacks from shoulder injuries, and the eventual progress, reminding us that patience and rest are as important as practice.
Practicing by the ocean reminds me how to flow with breath and nature. This vinyasa sequence, including poses like Upward-Facing Dog and Crow Pose, is about connecting with the elements and finding stillness in movement.
I love using props like a simple chair to explore advanced poses like Firefly (Tittibhasana). It shows that with creativity and the right support, we can make even the most challenging arm balances more accessible and playful.

Here is a glimpse into one of my online yoga classes. You can see the energy and focus as we work on everything from foundational poses to building strength, always with clear instructions and sometimes a few laughs.
About this collection
My practice is rarely about achieving the perfect posture, and you will see that reflected in these images. From dealing with shoulder injuries to discovering how a simple chair can unlock complex poses, I document the messy, real side of yoga because that is where the learning happens. Whether you join my group sessions or a private class, we focus on safe alignment and conscious movement that works for your unique body today.
Yoga is not a destination but a continuous conversation between body and breath. In my classes, I prioritize sustainability over intensity. I have learned the hard way—through injuries and setbacks—that consistency matters more than nailing an advanced inversion on the first try. That philosophy is the foundation of every session I lead.
How I Teach
I believe in interactive instruction, not passive broadcasting. In my Zoom group classes, I monitor alignment via gallery view rather than just demonstrating. I use verbal cues to help you correct form in real-time, much like I would in a physical studio. Whether we are flowing through Vinyasa or holding Hatha poses, I encourage you to use blocks, walls, and even household chairs to make every pose accessible and safe.
Specialized Focus
- Safety & Recovery: I provide dedicated programming for injury management and prenatal yoga, ensuring modifications are always available for those who need them.
- Technical Depth: My workshops break down complex movements like arm balances or backbends into small, manageable drills, removing the intimidation factor.
- Community: We are a small group of learners. I encourage progress sharing and doubt clearance because teaching is a partnership.
If you are looking for a space where you can show up exactly as you are—bruises, stiffness, and all—you have found the right place. We will build strength and inner calm together, one breath at a time.

I am Rhea, and for me, yoga is a lifelong conversation between body and breath. I don't believe in perfect poses; I believe in showing up, laughing through the shaky moments, and finding strength in the journey, not just the destination.
