Hi! I'm Aruna Kathy Humphrys


In 1998 I graduated from my first yoga teacher training and eventually quit my job to become a full time yoga teacher. I feel so fortunate to have a job I enjoy.

My career has gone from teaching 25 yoga classes a week, branching out to create workshops, retreats, strategic partnerships, and writing manuals and teaching in a Yoga Alliance RYS + RCYS.

I've experienced successes and failures along the way and I want to help you succeed and avoid the mistakes that I made!
