Hina Pitroda

Being still and centering with mindfulness opens up our wisdom and deepens our connection to ourselves, our lives, and all that is around us. Adding self-compassion fills your cup so the kindness within you is liberated.

I offer group classes in meditation and self-compassion, as well as one-on-one guidance options. My practices center on breath, body, thoughts, emotions, kindness, compassion, pain, fear, forgiveness, and more.

I hold the two-year mindfulness meditation teacher certification from Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, and was trained by The Center for Mindful Self-Compassion.

As an Indian woman who immigrated to the U.S. in my youth, and has lived in three different countries, I am very conscientious of diversity, equity, and a multicultural focus. I am passionate about helping people cultivate practices that support them in achieving a higher self-awareness, leading them on a road to happiness.
