Cambridge » Broga® Yoga Instructors

Throughout her childhood and teen years, Ankita enjoyed flipping and flying through the air as a competitive gymnast. Finally tiring of constant soreness, perpetual injury, and the anguish that comes from a sport that demands perfection, she decided to hang up her grips, but found that traditional exercise like running and lifting weights didn’t have the same adrenaline rush as gymnastics, nor did she feel as mobile or flexible.

While in college at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, a power yoga studio opened nearby. After a few vinyasa classes, Ankita was hooked! For the last 12 years, yoga has been a mainstay in Ankita’s life, providing benefits both on and off the mat. Taking her practice to the next level Ankita received her 200 hour teacher training certificate through Prana Power Yoga and is now a proud member of the Broga® Yoga teaching team. She has a special fondness for teaching yoga to absolute beginners, breaking down poses and helping students learn the fundamentals of yoga.

When not teaching yoga and Broga classes at The Breathing Room in Central Square, Ankita can either found in her office at Vertex Pharmaceuticals, where she is responsible for global marketing and integrated research, development and commercial strategy for the company’s portfolio of Cystic Fibrosis medicines, or on her bike in the Boston suburbs.
