Neena is the Marketing Manager for Down Under School of Yoga. Her unique background holds wide horizons as an Ayurvedic Health Counselor, a Wildlife Biologist, and has spent many years in hospitality.

Neena’s dream was to become a wildlife veterinarian helping to save marine mammals from loose fishing gear and support their feeding grounds by helping create marine sanctuaries. As this path unfolded, she realized her deeper desires were to help people find appreciation and interconnectedness of human life and the natural world.

She found this personal responsibility to be an example of what she desires to see in the world. She started with her basic cooking skills and elevated them significantly with practice, focusing on a whole food plant-based diet as she became aware of the impacts of animal agriculture. By thrifting her clothes and reducing the amount of plastic she uses, she began lowering her ecological footprint. Practicing yoga and meditation enlightened a path she never anticipated walking.

She then found Ayurveda and felt deeply connected to the principles of living in harmony with the rhythms of nature. By bringing awareness to what she consumes physically and emotionally, and found a connection to the natural world and her everyday experience. As she began sharing Ayurveda and plant-based nutrition with her own personal social media platforms, she received great support to further her path in the direction of educating and inspiring others to enjoy the individuality of Ayurveda’s approach to your own body's composition and its emphasis on the impact of seasons, environment and diet on your health.

Neena spends her time soaking in the South Boston beaches, enjoying the bountiful landscapes of New England camping and hiking, and spending time with her one-eyed tabby cat and 4ft ball python.
