About
- Deepa Sapra
Hi, I'm Deepa Sapra, a certified yoga therapist.
I don’t do yoga. I am yoga! BIG DIFFERENCE.
Yoga is not just my job but my life’s purpose. Hi all I’m Deepa Sapra a Yoga therapist. An American living in the UK. I’m married and have two beautiful children.
I’m originally from Queens New York, so not only can I teach Yoga, I can bring the sass and the gangster to my sessions. I keep you motivated and teach you about Yoga in a way that will make you think beyond physical exercise. It’s a spiritual journey, one that will invite you to connect to the Earth and your Soul.
Yet, how did I get here?
Growing up in the states, I have two brothers and gained a BA in Marketing from Hofstra University with a minor in International Business. I am a trained classical dancer in Kathak and Kuchipuddi. I have also been crowned Miss Diwali in a pageant I entered in 2001, one that was awarded to me by the one and only, Karishma Kapoor.
I moved to the UK for marriage, where I worked full time and getting my yoga therapy diploma. The last twelve months have really allowed me to thrive and take my Yoga journey and business, teaching wonderful women from all the UK, via Zoom to another level. The pandemic allowed me to find opportunities, connect and grow my teachings in a way that I hadn’t foreseen, and for the better. Part of the opportunities has allowed me to use technology to teach clients globally, from Germany, California, NEW YORK, Chicago, Canada (Toronto and Vancouver), Hong Kong, Australia!
What I love
Contrary to popular belief I love caffeine, tea and coffee, either suits me just fine! Yes, as a Yoga teacher I live in Yoga pants and love to layer up. Some of the strangest facts about me is that I love to iron! But reading, learning and teaching are my passions.
As well as Yoga, I am also a certified firewalking and glasswalking instructor, and just like Yoga the training was challenging and beautiful. The growth from the training has been more than I can describe!
Before that however, my passion is Yoga and being able to turn that into a business was fulling my purpose. I’ve adapted to online classes in a way that I hadn’t expected. I bring a sense of fun, humour, sass and my NYC gangster stories to my practices and movements. All of which combines for a fun session that goes beyond physical to the spiritual.
My teaching practice is very much a combination of my learning and my innate style. To push you a little further, breathe a little deeper, and to heal a little more than the day before.
Yoga is for everyone
I’ve had many a client be sceptical of the practice of Yoga at first. It’s more than just being able to contort the body into pretzel shapes without rhyme or reason. Yoga is a form of therapy, and I talk a lot about the benefits of each of the journeys I take my clients on. From Moon Yoga, to Warrior and beyond.
My aim with classes is to help people neutralize the modern day's hectic lifestyles. Here's where you'll improve your mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
To begin your Yoga journey, join me with just one of my classes and you’ll not regret it.
