Bio

Sharleen Oborowsky is an entrepreneur, free spirit, yogi, and mother of three, anchored in her joie de vivre. Sharleen co-founded Yogapedia in the summer of 2015 and is presently CEO. Yogapedia for her is more about her sadhana (practice) than a business which inspires the writing. Sharleen starts her day doing puja and meditates throughout the day. A lover of yoga, a lover of her gurus and a lover of India, she hopes to play a significant role in this yoga revolution. When she’s not doing yoga, she’s busy working on the business as well as raising her children.
