Hera Baboudjian
Isha Hatha Yoga Teacher
Growing up in Montreal, a city tinted with a rich multicultural reality, shaped me into the young adult I became.  I then developed a keen interest in human conditions and ways on how to accompany those living through challenging life situations. I was naturally drawn into completing studies in Social Work and have been practicing clinical social work for more than 17 years.

In 2006, Yoga came into my life.  I was touched profoundly and continued to deepen my experience with daily sadhana.  After many years, I longed to share this possibility with others and traveled to India to receive my intensive 1750 hour teacher training. I was trained and certified by Isha Hatha Yoga School at the Isha Yoga Center in South India, founded by the Yogi and Mystic, Sadhguru. Once having gone through this transformational experience, I started to teach and share this knowledge, by imparting classical hatha yoga practices in its authentic form.

Co-founder of Akasha – Yoga & Ayurveda, I am currently based in Portugal, offering workshops in various cities in Portugal and in Europe.
