Arati Lane

Instructor, Restorative, Flow and Pre-natal
Arati has been teaching Yoga since 1989. Always athletic, she was intrigued by the stronger yoga “workout” traditions like Ashtanga, Jivamukti and Vinyasa styles. Also a seeker by nature, she explored the other branches yoga has to offer such as devotional yoga, meditation, positive thinking, relaxation and yoga philosophy.

Arati studied at the Sivananda Ashrams, a worldwide organization, and took 2 years in India to travel, explore and study spirituality, yoga and, most of all, life. Originally from Europe, she now resides in San Diego, where she gave birth to her son. During pregnancy she deepened her understanding of yoga poses (asanas) and breathing (pranayam), especially as they relate to pregnancy & childbirth, and enjoyed the gifts of yoga for recovering from childbirth, as well as the ongoing needs of parenting, childcare and self-care.

A few years ago Arati was in a car crash and hurt her back, which took away her strong practice. She says, “I had to heal — and that is always a good thing, once we look back.” With a determined intention to heal her severely injured back, Arati discovered the therapeutic side of yoga. She had physical yoga therapy for over a year and then a profound shift happened — she discovered that “EVERY NEED HAS A SPECIAL TYPE OF YOGA! EVERY MOMENT OF LIFE!”

With this realization in mind, when she discovered that her son had allergies and asthma she researched different yoga methods that could help him. Through this process she discovered Ayurveda, the Medical sister science of yoga called the Science of Life, which focuses on holistic health & healing. In order to help him and others, she studied to become a Yoga and Ayurveda Wellness Adviser through the Sivananda Ashram. With diet & lifestyle changes and a positive approach her son is now free of asthma and hardly ever sick!

Arati says, “Yoga and Ayurveda continue to enrich my life and the life of those around me! I would love to help bring these natural gifts to your life, as well.”

Namaste — the light in me sees the light in you. Arati
