meet our team !

Yoga has given purpose to my life, and I am honored to share the true essence of Yoga through Kosha 5 Yoga Studio with my community. Born and raised in India, after completing my double Bachelors in Education and Literature from my home country,  I got my diploma in the Paralegal program from UCI. I am a 1200-hour Yoga Therapist(IAYT) and Instructor(RYT) and have completed subsequent certifications in Trauma-informed teacher training, Grovvy Kids yoga teacher training, and Meditation teacher training. What I enjoy most is being a mother to a 15-year-old boy and feeling fully alive with his presence in my life. For me, traveling is euphoric and necessary, and, much like Yoga, allows exploration of diverse cultures, food, and people.

Morgan is a certified yoga teacher whose work lives at the intersection of embodiment and creative expression. With a background as a professional dancer and a career in public health and genetics, they bring a deep respect for the body’s complexity, variability, and inherent wisdom. They completed their 200-hour training in 2015 and their 500-hour training in 2018 in New York, NY, and have since taught at studios across California, Michigan, and New York. Morgan’s teaching blends thoughtful, accessible movement with intuitive sequencing and carefully curated music, creating space for both effort and ease. Expect a dynamic mix of strength, flow, and softness — all grounded in the belief that every body belongs.

I came to yoga in 2018 while recovering from surgeries for breast and lung cancer. Yoga was the medicine I needed to heal and regain strength and confidence in my body. It also gave me the clarity to see that I was burned out from my career as a corporate attorney and needed a life change. In 2021, I decided to retire and switch gears to become a certified yoga instructor (RYT 500) and yoga therapist (C-IAYT). Yoga has helped me to live each day with more peace, joy, and purpose. My hope is to guide others in their yoga practice to find the same and to make yoga accessible for all bodies and abilities.

In my quest to deal with stress, I began taking the practice of yoga seriously in 2018 and fell in love with how it made me feel. In 2021, I completed 200 hours of teacher training. As I immersed myself in the practice and philosophy of yoga, I realized that its holistic approach had the potential to alleviate stress and anxiety. In class, I attempt to weave together the elements of breath, movement, meditation, and mindfulness, encouraging students to foster a deeper connection with their inner selves, release stress from the body, and embrace a state of profound relaxation. I believe that by nurturing the seeds of tranquility within each individual, we can collectively cultivate a more peaceful and balanced world, one breath at a time.

Artis began his yoga journey in 2013 when he took his first class. After that experience, he was hooked! He began taking multiple classes daily. Within a year, he completed his teacher training and received his 200-hr teaching certification at Atma Bodha Yoga in Virginia Beach, VA, in 2014. He taught for about five years in Virginia Beach and the surrounding areas. He then moved to Georgia, where he taught in Atlanta and  Augusta for a few years. He currently lives in Fullerton, CA, with his wife and daughter. He has participated in a few Yoga events in Southern California and also does private lessons.
He teaches Vinyasa, Beginner yoga, meditation, pranayama, and yogic philosophy.

Yoga has been part of my fitness routine since 2012. Over the last year, however, it has become more than just fitness. I believe that exchanging energy is a significant part of life and communication. Yoga has brought me abundant positive energy on and off the mat. I look forward to sharing this vibrant energy with you in class. 

I have a bachelor’s degree in professional business and a personal training certification. After spending a few years in the UK, I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training at Kosha 5. I am equally fond of cats and rock music! 

My name is Stephanie, and I have been practicing yoga since 2015 in my native California. I was introduced to yoga by a good friend, and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. Yoga has enabled me to be more present in my life and helped me move in ways I never thought possible. In 2019, I moved to Portland, Oregon, and had the opportunity to teach yoga to Jiu-Jitsu students out there as well as explore the beautiful outdoors. I truly believe yoga is beneficial for all bodies and love sharing the gift of yoga in a safe, non-judging environment. I’m thrilled to be back in my home state and look forward to sharing space with you all! 

Michael is driven by a genuine passion for making a positive impact in people’s lives. To him, yoga is a powerful pathway for healing and relief — supporting both body and mind. His teaching style is deeply rooted in the traditions of Ashtanga and Yin yoga, supported by extensive certifications and a dedicated personal practice, while remaining open and appreciative of all forms of yoga.

Beyond the mat, Michael is a certified Flexologist at StretchLab and a dedicated martial arts instructor, holding a 2nd-degree black belt in Tang Soo Do and a 1st-degree black belt in Taekwondo.

I’ve recently fallen in love with yoga. My body reached a point where I needed to slow down from the intensity of the dance fitness world, and yoga became the perfect transition—both physically and mentally. Taking a leap of faith, I signed up for teacher training in the summer of 2025. I’m so excited and grateful to share that I completed my training right here at Kosha5 as part of Cohort 2. 

This journey has been incredibly grounding, and I can’t wait to continue growing, learning, and sharing this practice.
