About:

Alchemystic Studio is founded on the purpose to advance wellness equity for BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ communities by expanding access to inclusive, culturally responsive yoga practices and wellness experiences where people heal, connect and thrive. This multi-time grant funded yoga movement values respect, compassion, listening, ancestral wisdom, and decolonial embodiment. Guided by a vision to cultivate an equitable wellness landscape where belonging and wellbeing are accessible to all, we seek to empower community, uplift marginalized teachers, and aspire to collective liberation. Alchemystic Studio has become an internationally recognized space where historically underserved communities gain access to authentic yoga; bridging ancient lineage with contemporary justice movements.

Vuzmal Meesha Sharma (they/she) is a multidisciplinary teacher, artist, writer, and community organizer whose work is rooted in their Kashmiri and Punjabi lineages. They founded Alchemystic Studio in 2020 to create spaces where healing, creativity, and social transformation can exist together. Through yoga, education, community practice, and the arts, they invite people to reconnect with themselves, one another, and the wisdom of their ancestors.

What began as a local healing initiative has grown into an evolving community that offers inclusive yoga classes, retreats, workshops, artist collaborations, and educational programs exploring decolonization, healing justice, caste abolition, and collective liberation. At the heart of Alchemystic is the belief that wellness is not separate from justice, it is one pathway toward it.

As the first person in their lineage born outside of South Asia, Meesha has long experienced life between cultures. That experience informs their work as a bridge-builder, weaving together ancestral traditions with contemporary movements for equity and belonging. They view their work as a continuation of their ancestors’ resilience and dedicate it to those who came before them.

Meesha is an E-RYT 200 yoga teacher, holds a Bachelor of Arts in Writing with a concentration in Social Change from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and has spent years facilitating community-centered education, retreats, and wellness experiences. Whether teaching a yoga class, creating art, or organizing with others, they remain a devoted sādhaka (a lifelong student of yoga) in its many forms committed to practicing, learning, and sharing with humility.
