Aarika is a Georgia native who has been practicing yoga for the past five years. She began incorporating yoga into her gym routine to help improve mobility and flexibility. Two years ago, while working as a bakery manager, Aarika realized the job was too stressful and she fell in love with Yin yoga.

She discovered through yin yoga that yoga as a practice goes deeper than the physical body. She then decided to step down and commit to learning, teaching, and practicing yoga in all forms. Her career now helps and heals rather than creates stress. She wants to share the gift of yoga with anyone who needs it. She loves teaching yin and restorative yoga as well as the vinyasa styles for a good workout.

Aarika graduated from Peachtree Yoga Center in December 2022 where she obtained her 200-hour certification. She is registered with the yoga alliance and currently undergoing her 300-hour teacher training.
