With over 25 years of teaching experience, Kewal Hausmann is dedicated to helping students feel inspired to make the choices that lead them towards happiness and personal satisfaction. Always the devoted yoga student, Kewal has attained their ERYT 500, CIAYT 1000, as well as broadening in their skill set as a Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Personal Trainer,  and Reiki Lvl 1 and 2. With the knowledge, training, and versatility to teach ashtanga, flow, vinyasa, hatha, restorative, yin, adaptive, prenatal, postnatal, kundalini, gentle yoga, private yoga therapy (in one-on-one sessions), meditation, and pranayama, Kewal brings a  big heart and their signature humor to every class, no matter the style. Their teaching is grounded in helping students feel empowered in their practice and comfortable in their own bodies. 

Kewal started teaching in 2002 after studying ashtanga yoga with Sharon Moon, still their primary teacher to this day. While they are not one to take themselves too seriously, they do take yoga very seriously—yoga makes people feel better, and for Kewal, that’s how you make the world a better place. In Kewal’s  classroom, students can expect to feel like they are capable of doing what they want to do, with no pressure to have to do anything at all. Through creative sequencing infused with the ability to adapt yoga practices for all skill levels, ages, physical impairments or injuries, and a wide range of body types; Kewal creates a joyful, safe, and loving atmosphere for all students. Along with a desire to improve people’s overall health and wellbeing, Kewal is committed to creating a space where all are welcome and celebrated. This genuine, fun-loving approach and focus on helping people feel better are meant as a beacon to all those who feel they don't fit in, whether it's because of body type, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, physical ability or anything else. Kewal is a graduate of the Steve Hicks School of Social Work and is a licensed master social work and believes that the physical practices of yoga can greatly aid in the support of healthy minds and emotions.

Kewal began to practice yoga to answer their own questions and started teaching to help overcome personal social anxiety, and strongly believes in sharing the power of yoga to achieve the same for his students to reach similar goals. People in Kewal’s classes leave knowing that they are capable of doing so much more than they expected when they bring their body, mind, and heart together.
