About Indu

Indu has been teaching various forms of movement and rest practices since 2017. As a second generation settler on this land with relationships to other lands, Indu Vashist aims to honour the histories of her Punjabi agrarian ancestors by sharing this land and resources with care and responsibility. Within the context of her movement practices, this means that she invites mindfulness and integration of the body, mind, spirit and land. Indu brings a somatic approach into all of her sessions whether that’s through vigorous movement, exploratory gentle movements or even restorative shapes. Through movement, she encourages developing greater understanding of proprioception (your body's ability to sense movement, action, and location), interoception (your perception of sensations from inside the body), exteroception (your sensitivity to stimuli that are outside the body), and nociception (your ability to discern what is painful stimuli). Indu is trained in Three-year Professional Certification in Clinical Hanna Somatic Education (2022-2025) with Dr. Eleanor Criswell, 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training: Science, Strength and Inclusion (2022) with Kathryn Bruni Young and Carly Stong, Nidra Yoga Training (2020) with Taryn Diamond, Breathing Mechanics, Somatic Principles (2020) with Jules Mitchell, 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training (2017) at Union Yoga and Wellness, and Somatics and Restorative Training (2016/2020) with Kim McBean. Indu serves as guest faculty in several teacher training programs throughout the continent. In addition to being a movement teacher, Indu is the Executive Director of the South Asian Visual Arts Centre.
