Meet Your Faciltators:
Meesha (they/she)
Meesha is a diasporic Kashmiri and Punjabi activist, yoga teacher, artist, catalyst, spiritual seeker, and community organizer who comes from a sampradāya (lineage) of yogis. Their Punjabi ancestors worked closely with studying the Vedas and their Kashmiri ancestors are direct descendants of Nath Yogis. Through lived experience and direct spiritual experience, they continue this lineage of spiritual seeking. They have dedicated their work to ancestral healing, queering yoga land, and creating more inclusive and diverse wellness spaces. Meesha believes communal care is the path to co-creating a paradigm shift on Earth towards more justice and peace for all. They are the founder of Alchemystic Studio, a multi time grant funded yoga movement rooted in collective liberation, ancestral wisdom, and decolonial embodiment..

Still have Questions?
Book a call with Meesha to have all of your questions answered, and see if this retreat it a good fit for you!
Sola and Meesha have spent many years learning how to teach yoga from a queer perspective so their language, ethos, and practice provide the representation needed for BIPOC Queer and Trans people to feel safe enough to receive the deep healing provided by yoga.
