Nusrath Jahan Nisha

Soon to be YTT 200 Grad



" I was very intentional about where I chose to earn my 200HR training from, and the curriculum at Abhaya is inclusive of the history and lineage of Yoga. I am hoping to also offer classes in Bangla to reach immigrants in my community, while pairing with friends who speak other languages that are interested in joining me as we bring this connected experience to sessions catering to a larger diversity of immigrant communities that NYC is so enriched with!"

Personally the training helped me get a better understanding of myself and my unique inner world. I learned how to ease my mind and tap into my inner voice pushing beyond ego to truly connect with not only myself but to others and the world around me. The biggest benefit was learning the Yamas and Niyamas. Essentially how to respect and treat myself translates into how I respect and treat others and the world. It might all seem like common sense. Be kind, don’t judge, help others, but in the chaos of our world it’s something we can forget to do. I feel the tenants of the Yama and Niyamas in the eightfold path is what we need more people to know about so that more people can access self awareness and love".

"The benefits of Abhaya training reach beyond personal growth; they extend outward, amplifying the impact of yoga education. My journey with yoga has taught me the profound importance of holding space, a wisdom I carry into my work as a psychology professor. It entails creating a transformative environment rich with presence, active listening, and an unwavering commitment to each student's unique journey. By infusing yoga principles into my teaching, I aim to provide a holistic education that transcends academic knowledge. This approach fosters not only intellectual growth but also emphasizes the invaluable benefits of mindfulness and self-awareness. Rather than dictating, my role is to guide, empowering students to authentically navigate their studies and cultivate a sense of security in expressing themselves."
