My name is Mariela Khushnood. I was born in Chicago and have lived around the world raising my two children. I began a quest for inner peace which led me to Yoga. Yoga has become my life. A complete change it has done for me as person. I have held many jobs and have done many things with life experience but when I started to practice Yoga, it was totally different. I worked all over the world and I have seen many places. The only place I didn't discover was my inner self. Being in the present moment. Yoga has changed my life in ways I cannot explain. To be selfish and keep this fruit of knowledge a secret, I couldn't do it. That's when I took my journey to become a Yoga Teacher. Sharing my love and knowledge in yoga classes as a teacher is very important to me. Working on our bodies is just the beginning to so much more; You will not only develop strength, you will begin to enjoy your days. You will feel so much more relaxed and mentally prepared when anything comes your way. Your confidence and self -acceptance increases and you learn that we never ever stop learning about ourself and life.
