Meet the Founder:
Dr. Shamita Trivedi
Dream it.
Hi!
My name is Shamita Trivedi. I am a Physician. I am a Wife. I am a Mother. I am a Sister. I am a Daughter. I am a Yogi.
Like all of us, I have been trying to find a way to balance all the different aspects of my life on the outside while also finding peace on the inside.
Yoga to me is a way of finding your own Peace and Confidence while living honestly in your own Personal Truth.
Yoga has always been a part of my life. Through the good times and the not-so-good times, I consistently practiced Yoga. I hate to say it, but Yoga for me started out as a “cool” way to work out after I was burnt out on running for fitness. I became obsessed with arm balances and inversions like a lot of us.
In the next step of my journey, Yoga came to be the crux of my fitness after my health failed in my pregnancies and I was not able to run consistently afterwards.
As a practicing Pediatric Endocrinologist, the road to getting to practice medicine might seem like a straight line from being an Indian-American person born in the US to becoming a physician. But my road to my career and life’s calling was anything but this.
To just be clear, I love being a Pediatric Subspecialist in Pediatric Endocrinology and truly have a deep passion for what I do. Getting to help kids and families through difficult times is one of my life’s callings and I feel so blessed that I get to participate in making kids healthy as a living! The journey to getting to this point in my life has been a struggle at times, I must say.
Build it.
My practice of Yoga deepened especially in the face of adversity, whether this was fighting for rotations as a medical student, to handling the challenges of qualifying exams, to dealing with professors of all types, Yoga has always been there to remind me of what is truly important in life. Through my practice, I have been able to obtain a renewed reinforced positivity in what I can do and am better able to let go of what no longer serves me.
After having our second baby, I found myself in a busy Pediatric Subspecialty practice full-time as a mother of two beautiful babies and a wife and life partner to a great man. However, I had no time or ability to get to the gym or even go outside for a run to stay fit.
My workouts turned into 4:30 a.m. start times and the location was literally my closet. Yoga kept up my fitness in a way that worked for me. And that’s really what yoga is – it is what you make of it. It can be about only the asanas, or postures; however, if you let it, Yoga can encourage and drive your personal growth and take you to the next step of your evolutionary journey (as it did for me).
Believe it.
In this time of my life, it felt like things were just happening to me – my health was an inflammatory nightmare, my work was so busy and involved driving all over DFW to multiple clinics, and my family life was chaotic to say the least!
Through my consistent Yoga practice, I have found my inner peace again and my balance once again. This is not something that you find and it just stays forever as I’m sure you know. Finding your balance and peace is a moving target, and it just so happens that Yoga is a fulfilling way to recenter yourself again and again.
In my journey, I found myself asking deeper and deeper questions about Yoga itself which in turn lead to my completion of my Yoga Teacher Training. I am now an RYT200 (Registered Yoga Teacher) having completed the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training course at Satya Yoga, an international yoga school which offers an extremely traditional and unique training course. I am grateful to have been able to do my training where I did. I am indebted to family for allowing me to indulge in this part of my journey and complete my hours and intensive training as I was able to do.
Live it.
Yoga is a very personal practice and there is no one way to “do it right.” All you must ask of yourself is to give your best and let the journey commence.
At Jeet Victory Yoga, we believe in Yoga to provide Strength, Agility, Empowerment, and Victory. I am honored to be a part of your Yoga fitness journey! Let us begin…
With gratitude,
Shamita
