Swaati Mehra-Ramcharan, B.A | she/her
|
Swaati was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. Her parents immigrated from India years before she was born and continued to keep their Indian culture, hindu philosophy and spiritualism alive throughout her life.
She has always had a passion and interest in healthy living. After the birth of her two children, she came to understand the importance of care needed for her post-baby body and mind, and started practicing asana regularly. She knew her exercise and yoga practice needed to be changed to fit her health needs, but didn’t always know how.
When Swaati started teaching yoga, she realized yoga for pelvic health was what she needed and where she wanted to be!
She takes pleasure in helping her students gain confidence in movement and practice movement that eases their pelvic pain. Swaati continues to learn about pelvic health and yoga and the impact of the two on our mental and physical health.
Swaati and her husband have two high-energy, animated boys. She enjoys listening to podcasts, thoroughly enjoys food, is a music lover and travel enthusiast.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Culture, Women’s Studies and Languages from York University.
