As a child, Sheena Shah’s knees were constantly dislocated and doctors told her that without major surgery on both legs, she could end up in a wheelchair by the age of 30. She underwent surgery in her right knee in 2010, while studying for her degree in Psychology at The University of Warwick. Sheena Shah fell into depression and knew that she needed to make a change and take control of her life.
On sharing her state with her parents, they gave her a book called ‘What is Disease’ by Neil Patel (the Founder of Chi Kri Yoga), which changed her life for good.
As of today she teaches weekly yoga classes, and leads yoga & wellbeing retreats (both in the UK and internationally), and also runs a business coaching for yoga teachers.
Her main mission now is to help new yoga teachers create a successful business that lights up their souls and makes a positive difference in people’s lives.
International Yoga Day is celebrated worldwide on the 21st of June. The theme of International Yoga Day 2024 is “Yoga for Women Empowerment,”
