My name is Vinita Laroia and I grew in the woods of New England. I am a first generation Indian-American. My parents encouraged me to study hard, but I was most often outside daydreaming up in a tree or out at the ocean.

My yoga and meditation practice began in 1998 while I was a student and ski bum in Colorado. Since then I have made long term homes in Wyoming, Japan, and California. Influenced by the natural world and the many places I have traveled, my style is based on a sense of deep ecology and global philosophy.

Although I have attended many trainings and long immersions in the practice of yoga, barre, functional movement, and music; my greatest teachers have been my students.
