Hali has been immersed in the world of yoga since she was a young child of just 5 years old. She spent the better part of her teenage and early adult years living and studying all things yoga at the International Meditation Institute in the North Western Himalayas in India. It was during these incredible years where she was exposed to yoga philosphy and scripture study, Sanskrit and chanting, as well as hatha and restorative yoga, medtation and traditional prānāyām practices. She is the author of two books on yoga history and philosophy, and has been training teachers in Toronto where she makes her home, as well as in India, since 2001.
