Yash loves to move. He is a 4th Duan rank practitioner of Tai Chi and Xin Yi Dao. When he’s not practicing martial arts, you can find him out on his bike by the Charles or on the Minuteman Trail, at least when the Boston weather allows it. Last year, after a yearlong bout of depression, he stumbled into Breathe, and has not looked back since. His favorite classes are Strength, Pilates, and Vinyasa, and he wants to do more of Hot26.

Outside of movement, Yash is a machine learning researcher in biotech. His head is either in the clouds, in a book, or buried in a plate of food—ask for recs and he will spam you. He is a firm believer in the idea that the body keeps the score. It’s trying to tell you something—you just have to be ready for the discomfort of listening.
