​MEET OUR YOGA INSTRUCTOR

​Nirel Salazar is a second-generation Filipino-American yoga teacher based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Through her personal journey with impostor syndrome, mental fatigue, burnout, and depression, she discovered that wellness extends far beyond just getting 8 hours of sleep each night. Yoga illuminated for her the multifaceted nature of wellness and inspired her to share this knowledge and her experiences with others.

In her career as a scientist at a bio-pharmaceutical company, Nirel integrates the same holistic philosophy. She believes in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, which she imparts through her yoga classes. Nirel's classes provide a sanctuary for exploration, self-reconnection, and deep rest, helping her students achieve a balanced and rejuvenated state of being.
