Anzari Atik

I am a regulatory affairs associate, a neuroscience consultant and a yoga teacher with a PhD and research background in Neuroscience. I have a 200-hour Yoga, 50-hour Yin and a 25-hour Yoga sequencing certification. I am a qualified Mental Health First Aider, iRest Yoga Nidra teacher and a Reiki master. But that’s just me on paper. I am a lover of the ocean, an avid reader, a neuroscience nerd and the person who yells I love you at every opportunity. I am passionate about making yoga accessible particularly within the BIPOC community and I love merging this ancient practice and my heritage, with science.

 

Having an education in neuroscience has shaped not only how I live my life but the activities I engage in, one of which includes yoga, a practice that has helped me through my darkest moments and has been in my life through the happiest. Practicing yoga while studying neuroscience has allowed me to merge science and spirituality, which has had a profound impact on how I navigate life's challenges, as well as my general wellbeing. I truly believe that the more you know about your brain and how it works, the more likely you are to work with it, rather than against it. This belief is what led me to start teaching yoga classes with research-based neuroscience themes, as a way of both bridging science and spirituality and making science more accessible.
