Rumika Choudhuri
ISHTA Yoga
Rumika (Rumi) Choudhuri has been immersed in the practice of yoga from a young age, taking her first class at 11 years old at Sivananda Yoga in India. What began early in life has evolved into a lifelong devotion to yoga, meditation, and spiritual inquiry — practices that continue to ground and guide both her personal path and the way she shares this work with others.
After a career as a corporate fashion executive, Rumi made a conscious and wholehearted transition into the world of yoga and wellness over a decade ago. Since then, she has been deeply engaged in the space, and holds her 200- and 300-hour training certifications through ISHTA Yoga.
Rumi teaches weekly classes, teacher trainings, workshops, and retreats. Alongside teaching and mentoring, she oversees Rooted Heart Yoga & Wellness in Capitol Hill, Denver, and also leads the studio’s teacher training programs. Rumi is a featured teacher on Yoga International, one of the world's leading platforms for online yoga, meditation, breathwork, and yoga education. She also works as a business consultant within the yoga and wellness space, and continues her work with ISHTA Yoga.
Originally from the East Coast (Connecticut and New York City) and now based in Denver, Rumi teaches with the intention of creating space for students to reconnect with their own inner wisdom and expand into their fullest, most authentic potential — both on and off the mat.
