As a yoga teacher, Kirtana is certified to teach both Vinyasa Yoga and Yoga Sculpt.  In the early years of her yoga practice, Kirtana enjoyed teaching and taking hot vinyasa and yoga sculpt classes at a studio in Baltimore.  After becoming pregnant, Kirtana shifted her yoga practice to focus more on pre-natal yoga that was restorative in nature and strengthening of her pelvic floor and core to prepare her for labor and postpartum.  Since having a baby, Kirtana has committed to a self study of adapting her vinyasa and restorative yoga practices to support herself as a mid-distance runner and noticed a tremendous improvement in her physical and mental strength during her training runs.  As a result of this self study, Kirtana has also discovered that balance and inner strength, both physical and mental, comes from acknowledging where one's body is in the present moment and harnessing the power of one's breath to navigate through changes in life, both on and off of one's mat.  Last but not least, Kirtana has committed to honoring the eight limbs of yoga, an indigenous practice from South Asia, by taking classes from BIPOC yoga teachers, showing others the deep connection between yoga and social justice, and being a vehicle for change in her community.

In her free time, Kirtana enjoys training and racing for mid-range races such as 5K(s) and 10K(s) and spending time with her toddler and husband!
