Yogi Surya Om is a worldly teacher, whose multifaceted background coupled with a timeless lineage of the yogic science, makes her a true teacher.

Her early life consisted of classical Equestrian training and competition. It was through a series of competitive injuries that she eventually began practicing yoga due to its intense healing effects plus its ability to restore strength and balance to the body.

It was a spiritual awakening at the age of 24, which led Surya to become more fully immersed in a holistic and yogic path. She attended the Canadian School of Holistic Nutrition, as well as the pacific Rim College of Oriental Medicine, is a chartered herbalist and a certified mat pilates instructor. Yoga influences include Anusara, Astanga, and bikram, her main linage is Dharma Yoga.

Yogi Surya Om is a devoted student and disciple of Sri Dharma Mittra. She has completed the 200hr, 500hr, and 800hr "Life of a Yogi" teacher trainings at the New York City Dharma Yoga Center. Her dedication and perseverance in preserving these yogic traditions has allowed her to spend countless hours immersed Sri Dharma’s presence. She has currently branched out from the New York City teaching circuit in order to spread the legacy passed on to her directly from the source. Her recent completion of the 300hr Maui Hot Yoga teacher training in the winter of 2012 has added knowledge of Bikram and Astanga traditions to her teaching repertoire.

Through this practice, Surya offers students an authentic, pure, and clear transmission of teachings that have been preserved in this tradition of masters from the east. This oral tradition passed on directly from teacher to disciple has proven successful for many yogis of the past.

Surya steadily challenges students to go beyond inherited limitations while holding space for unlimited growth spiritually, mentally, and physically.
