WOMAN BEHIND THE BRAND
Meet Beena
On New Year’s of 2016, I woke up and said to myself “something has to change…and it’s going to have to start with me.” Feeling the repercussions of a story I was ready to re-write – being diagnosed with cancer at a young age, having been in multiple unfulfilling relationships, and being unfairly treated in a graduate school program, everything had revolved around the word ”stress.”
It was time to change the story from victim mentality
to a story that was full of empowerment and dreams coming to fruition.
And I declared it for myself.
After years of sensing that medicine alone wasn’t going to resolve the deeper complexities, including the woman inside me who knew she carried intense passion and purpose to serve the world on a bigger scale through authentic self-leadership, I decided to enter a new world.
I journeyed on a path of transformational inner work and quickly learned through my own unique experiences with yoga, meditation, coaching, & intuitive healing that there is a world of healing modalities available to us that go beyond what traditional science and medicine offers.
There is a way to bridge this gap between modern medicine and alternative healing. That bridge is through understanding that each person is a holistic individual with a unique blueprint for life, which includes one’s health & well-being.
From both my personal experience as well as providing clinical care for many cancer patients in the top institutions in New York City as a certified Physician Associate, I have witnessed that each person is so unique from the genetic makeup to the physical appearance to personal tastes to personality types to responses to treatment.
Why box anyone into one healing modality vs. another?
I believe the paradigm we are stepping into is one that
encompasses healing of the mind, body, heart and soul.
I believe that two paradigms can co-exist.
Science offers a lot to help the world including cancer research and innovative,
life-saving treatments that are changing the landscape of modern medicine.
Alternative healing allows people to dive deep
into their internal world to discover their most intrinsic state.
Together, it can create a synergistic alchemy
that empowers people to be the best they can be,
to live from an elevated state in all areas of life –
love, abundance, wealth, health, success, self-expression.
And to use the tools that feel most intuitively appropriate for their mind, body and spirit,
so that they can evolve in a conscious fashion
and take ownership of their growth and evolution.
Rather than taking orders from a clinician in a white coat
or the suggestions of an energy healer,
this unique approach of holistic healing meets individuals where they are
and gives them the opportunity to move forward through self-empowerment.
The Yoga Movement is a holistic wellness brand designed to
empower women to use their unique set of healing and empowerment tools
to transform their lives on a physical, spiritual, mental, emotional and energetic level.
It is a growing masterpiece of all the wisdom, evolution, and breakthroughs learned along the way.
MY STORY
More about Beena
I was 21 when I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
This was the catalyst for many death and rebirth cycles in my life as I entered a profound initiation into what feels to be a lifelong journey of powerful transformation.
After several years of listening to doctors’ advice about dose adjustments to ensure I was receiving the proper thyroid hormone supplementation, I still had recurring symptoms of brain fog and fatigue. I intuitively knew the medication alone would not suffice and it was time to look for an alternative but was not sure what.
Up until that point, I had mainly listened to what clinicians were telling me but much of it did not resonate with my body.
This was when I learned to become my own best advocate.
Once I decided there had to be an alternative, my body and its innate wisdom intuitively guided me to seek other forms of healing, which was my entryway to the world of alternative medicine.
It began with yoga and meditation and quickly led to learning about reiki, intuitive healing, shamanism, Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, mindfulness, and much more.
What these healing modalities did was not only help me optimize my thyroid health but also every area of my life began to improve as well.
These healing modalities helped me discover deeper, hidden aspects within myself that wanted attention and presence.
When I was able to provide that attention, I began to cultivate self-awareness.
With the newfound self-awareness, I was able to take different action steps to break unhealthy patterns and create the outcomes I desired to manifest into my reality.
A new world was starting to emerge before my eyes. I saw that while modern medicine does provide innovative therapies and treatments to relieve physical symptoms, the root cause is not usually addressed. Quite often, the missing piece is tending to one’s spiritual, mental and emotional well-being.
Through my healing journey, I learned that the previous thyroid issues I had were not new in my ancestral line. Many women who came before me had thyroid imbalances as well as the common denominator of feeling unable to speak up for their needs and wants. Through ancestral healing and rebalancing of my throat chakra (which is where the thyroid lies), I learned to activate my voice, speak my truth, and express myself in an authentic way.
We know through the field of epigenetics that our environment impacts gene expression. This means that women who have witnessed their own mothers not standing up for themselves can also start modeling a similar behavior. However, epigenetics has also shown that these behaviors can be reversible and so, a person’s future development is not necessarily set in stone and can be altered.
This means that you have the power to transform your life no matter what cards you were handed. As I committed to this work, I noticed powerful shifts within myself including confidently communicating what is on my heart, speaking my truth, and boldly claiming what it is that I really desire from the deepest recesses of my heart and soul.
The power of healing and transformation led to a rise in my self-confidence and what may be the biggest gift of all is being witness to how my healing has shifted the world of those around me…as I notice women in my family and community boldly declaring and asking for what they most want as well.
I am a clinically experienced Physician Associate in Medicine and Oncology who has received strong academic training at major, world-renowned institutions in New York City, including Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Columbia University Medical Center, and Weill Cornell Medical College.
In my years of healthcare experience, I have witnessed the astounding results that yoga, meditation, reiki, and other wellness practices can have on patients by significantly improving both the mental and physical state.
I created The Yoga Movement in 2019 after having seen the life-changing benefits that alternative healing had on my life as well as that of my patients. It is my firm belief that the future of healthcare and well-being is shifting towards holistic health, where health is regarded in its totality, including physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual facets. As a visionary, I foresee a world where intake forms will consist of traditional medical history along with understanding the unique set of beliefs that were passed along in childhood, cultural programming, societal conditioning and ancestral patterns that have led to each person’s unique blueprint.
This is the pathway for deep, transformational healing to happen and so, all of these aspects must be taken into account. My work is an integrated application of science, medicine, alternative healing, ancient wisdom, spirituality, and mysticism to help women awaken the medicine within themselves so that they can live their desired realities now.
To unleash their personal power.
To unlock their authentic voice.
To embrace their unique essence.
To shine in their radiant self-expression.
To illuminate their self-love.
As the Founder of The Yoga Movement, it is my sincere intention to create powerful, global impact through bridging the gap between modern medicine and alternative healing.
Social causes I care deeply about are patient advocacy, women’s health, children education, child abuse, and nature conservation. I also am committed to collaborating with other female-led brands who are doing incredible things to elevate our world.
It is my utmost passion to empower women to rise to their highest potential – our time together is an alchemical journey of transformation here to help set you as well as your lineage free.
To break away from the status quo and into a life of success on your terms.
Whether you have landed here because of a recent health diagnosis, a break-up, or some other life transition that shook your reality, I am witness to the infinite possibilities of a beautiful world that stands before you on the other side of your evolution.
It is an honor and privilege to walk alongside you.
I invite you to rise to the occasion.
Lots of love,
Beena
