My yoga practice started out as a personal endeavor. It was not something I wanted to share with others as a teacher, but after being offered a teaching gig at a local YMCA 20 years ago, I fell in love. After taking my first teacher training, I made my way through the NYC yoga scene in the early 2000s, until I landed in a trauma-informed training for the military in 2013. It was in this training that I was able to name my own trauma for the first time. In 2019, I created Solemarch, a Yoga for Trauma teacher training.

It’s an honor to work with students and teachers who have recognized the trauma they’ve survived and trust me to help guide them as they move through the world with more agency. 

I currently offer weekly public classes, private and corporate sessions, workshops, teacher trainings, and retreats.

As a practitioner, yoga has helped me feel proud of who I am and become my own friend, rather than adversary. As a teacher, I aim to help people feel heard, seen and comfortable with themselves. When I’m not doing these things, I’m dreaming about people reconnecting to their sense of humanity and the inherent interdependence of us all.


Sangeeta is the reason why I developed a regular yoga practice shortly after moving to NYC. Her energy is calm, steady and comforting. The pace she keeps the class at is perfect - you do not feel rushed and you are able to maintain connection to your breath. Her patience, precision and thoroughness as an instructor are unparalleled. She is one-of-a-kind and an incredibly special soul.

Sangeeta keeps a watchful eye and is generous in answering my many questions, but also very distinctly gives me the space to make my own discoveries. When I first came to her class, I immediately felt safe and welcomed. Sangeeta has a way of making the physical practice both accessible and challenging for all levels and beautifully weaves the spirituality of yoga throughout her classes. Her messages are simple, clear, and powerful. Her energy is both grounding and uplifting and I am grateful for her guidance throughout the years.
