Yasi

Namaste, My name is Yasi and I’m one of the yoga asana and meditation teachers at ASMY. My journey into yoga came about via a long and determined search for answers to life’s big questions and a quest for lasting satisfaction and happiness. I tried many forms of meditation and yoga before I finally came across a room full of people chanting and realised that this was it, the search was over, here what I was meant to do with my life.
