Malka has been practicing yoga since she was 20 years old. While studying at UC Santa Cruz, she stumbled into an Iyengar yoga studio and fell in love with the practice. She later found her love growing for heated vinyasa yoga when she was working at the Yoga Tree in San Francisco as a massage therapist. It was there that she received her 200 hr YTT certificate. Her intention was to deepen her practice but a couple of years later, she ended up landing a job in Thailand at a wellness center. This is where Malka found herself as a teacher and after many years of practice at this point, she could feel the teaching pouring out of her. She then went to New York City to pursue her 500 hr YTT with Dharma Mittra. With a commitment to the practice, Malka continues to gain knowledge and the practice continues to evolve her into new understandings. For Malka, teaching yoga is a joy and an honor. She loves holding space for deep transformation. Her classes consist of pranayama, meditation, wisdom from the yoga texts, and a vigorous flow, and she always ends her class chanting mantras on her harmonium. Malka believes that being embodied is the biggest tool when dealing with social change. If we connect to even just a spark of liberation within, we can spread that feeling out into the world and together we can make a change in this world
