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 her own 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 THIS is where the real magic begins.

From both my personal experience as well as caring for many cancer patients in the top institutions in New York City as a certified Physician Assistant, I have witnessed that each person is uniquely different and this is why I strongly believe in 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 who they really are. 

Together, it can create more powerful, holistic healing that really empowers people to be the best they can be and transform the world by being a living embodiment of their highest Self.

The Yoga Movement is a holistic wellness business designed to empower heart-centered women on their healing journey so they can use their own unique set of holistic tools that includes a combination of science and alternative healing to transform their lives on a physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, and energetic level.

It is a growing masterpiece of all the wisdom, evolution, & breakthroughs learned along the way.

MY STORY

More about me

I had thyroid cancer at 21, which was the catalyst for many initiations and periods of death and rebirth along my transformative journey.

What I learned from this experience was that while modern medicine and science helped nourish my physical body to an extent, there were still unresolved issues of brain fog and fatigue I had for several years that were not completely alleviated with the replacement therapy I was prescribed.

I listened to what clinicians were telling me but it did not resonate with my body and that was when I learned to become my own best advocate.

My body and its innate wisdom intuitively guided me to seek other forms of healing, which was when I was led to the path of alternative medicine. Although I was actually seeking to reduce stress related to the rigorous nature of a graduate program at the time, the positive impact of alternative medicine rippled out into every area of my life.

I was introduced to the world of yoga, meditation, reiki, intuitive healing, Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and so much more. And it was through these modalities that I discovered the deeper, hidden aspects within myself that needed healing.

I was stunned to see that while Western medicine continues to produce innovative therapies and treatments to cure physical symptoms, the root cause is not always tended to. And quite often, the missing piece is tending to one’s spiritual and emotional healing.

It was through the journey of alternative medicine that I started to come back into energetic alignment and shift my life from inside out.

In my own personal story, I learned that my diagnosis at 21 actually stemmed from something deeper than being exposed to radiation from the 9/11 attacks and having lived in close proximity to the financial district of Manhattan at the time.

I came from a lineage of women who had thyroid issues and what is even more profound is that many of these women did not feel they had the power to speak up for their needs and wants. Through ancestral healing and using my own healing tools to balance my throat chakra (which is where the thyroid lies), I learned to activate my voice, speak my truth, and express myself in my unique and authentic way.

We now know through the science of epigenetics that our environment affects gene expression. This means that women who have witnessed their own mother not standing up for herself can also start modeling a similar behavior. However, epigenetics has shown that these behaviors can be reversible and so, a person’s future development is not necessarily set in stone and can be altered. 

As I committed to this work, I noticed healing within myself as well as my mother and the women in my community. More women started to advocate for what they truly wanted and made it assertively known through powerful communication and a new sense of self-confidence.

This was the biggest gift of all – to see how my healing had shifted my world and the world of others around me.

I am a clinically experienced Physician Assistant 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 people by significantly improving the overall mental and physical state.

I created The Yoga Movement in 2019 after having witnessed the life-changing benefits that alternative healing had on my life as well as that of my patients.

I witnessed firsthand that health goes beyond just the physical. It includes one’s mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic facets as well. And each individual also comes with a unique set of beliefs ingrained from childhood, cultural programming, societal conditioning, & ancestral patterns that were passed along for generations. In order for deep, transformational healing to occur, all of these aspects must be taken into account. 

My work today is an integrated application of science along with alternative healing and ancient wisdom to help clients awaken the medicine within – leading them back to their own personal power, their gifts, their voice, their unique essence, and, essentially, their innate ability to heal themselves. 

As the Founder & Owner of The Yoga Movement, it is my greatest intention to create powerful and global impact through bridging the gap between medicine and alternative healing.

Through transformational coaching and healing, including reiki and shamanic practices, I guide high-achieving women to live a life full of love, abundance, and true fulfillment.

By helping women heal the root of unhealthy patterns and shift to higher perspectives so that they gain clarity on their path, we work in a collaborative partnership to create a life by intentional design – where their success is created from a place of desire and brings them the long-term fulfillment they seek. 

I believe that the most potent medicine you will ever find is within – our work together simply allows you to awaken & activate this so that your external reality becomes a living expression of your soul’s desires.

I am also deeply committed to my passion for writing, patient advocacy, and aligned partnerships with other female-led brands who are doing incredible things to elevate our world.

Today, I am blessed with the divine opportunity to connect with amazing clients from all over the world who desire to take their life to the next level. 

It is my utmost and greatest passion to empower women to rise to their highest potential – a journey of growth and evolution that will transform your world as well as that of your lineage.

And I invite you to rise to the occasion.
