Insiya Rasiwala
Insiya grew up in Bombay, India, with Yoga and Ayurveda shaping her life from an early age. Connecting her passion for yoga and wellness with her love of communications and storytelling, she led the marketing for lululemon athletica in its early days, and left to further her studies in Yoga and Ayurveda, and to write.
Known for her lyrical, heart-filled vinyasa classes and her lived East-West perspective, she has a rare gift for making the ancient wisdom of Vedic India feel alive and relevant to modern life.
Insiya has presented on Ayurveda and Yoga internationally at Wanderlust and Bali Spirit, been featured in the pages of Yoga Journal, and has written on wellness for the Globe & Mail. She has co-led retreats and teacher trainings globally, since 2006 with Blissology Yoga. She lives on the west coast of Vancouver Island, with her son and teaches locally.
