About dr. suparna
Discover Spiritual Drip
Namaste. I’m Dr. Suparna and I am a motivational speaker, doctor, yoga instructor, fashion designer, survivor, and Kathak dancer. Welcome to my site! I designed my chakra inspired activewear line, Yoga N Chill, to help people gain a better appreciation for eastern medicine principles in a way that is stylish, catchy, and easy to understand, such that others can improve the quality of their own lives through engagement with my products. I include chakra specific affirmations as part of my designs that help people to understand how to embody the characteristics of a particular chakra for themselves by being reminded to shift their focus to their set intention each time they look down at what they are wearing. I am also an ambassador of Christ Consciousness and am currently in training to be a Sophia Circle Leader. I will be offering Sophia Circle Journeys in the near future.
As a medical doctor trained in western medicine, I have always had the desire to contribute to the emotional prosperity of others through education about health and wellness. As a recent survivor of human trafficking and debilitating physical injury, I turned to yoga, meditation, and eastern medicine principles to help me heal physically and emotionally.
Living at a yoga ashram, becoming a yoga instructor, and now through my study of kundalini yoga, I have gained a new holistic perspective to wellness that I was not afforded as simply a western medicine practitioner, and I’m grateful that the road I’ve travelled has led me to an expanded and more multi-dimensional perspective about wellness that I would now like to share with others using my clothing line as the conduit. Please check out the Yoga N Chill Boutique on this website for chakra inspired designs intended to help improve the quality of your life experience.
I also offer personalized yoga classes and serve as a wellness and spiritual coach for people with physical and medical impairments. Having attained board certification in Disability and Impairment Medicine, coupled with my personal experience as a personal injury physician for nearly a decade, I developed a deep appreciation for the variety of ways in which physical mobility can be restricted or impacted by surgical complications, structural injury to the body, and medical illness.
On a personal level, I am a survivor of domestic violence, human trafficking and debilitating physical injury secondary to electrocution. My current passion project is my book explaining the disease of non-physical domestic violence and explaining the benefits to society of legalization of domestic violence as a disease. My work in this area can be viewed at www.50ShadesOfDV.com.
I have been spiritual at heart and from as young as age 5 when I was initiated into the culture of Kathak Dance, one of India's most well preserved spiritual art forms. I have been a lifelong student of Pundit Chitresh Das and after a nearly 20 yer hiatus from dance while I pursued my career in medicine, I returned to dance as a form of physical rehabilitation after my electrocution injury and have found it to be an invaluable contributor to my mental health.
Yoga N Chill, was intended to embody the spirit of a modern, healthy lifestyle movement. The chakra-inspired designs for the activewear and bikini collections featured at Yoga N Chill were intended to spread awareness of yoga and the chakra system to promote balance, health, and overall well being.
Education/Training
I graduated from Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California and I have a foundation in Molecular and Cell Biology from my undergraduate studies at Carnegie Mellon University. I completed a General Surgery Internship at UCLA and went on to train in Anesthesia at Baylor. I have attained board certification in Integrative Medicine and Disability and Impairment Medicine.
As a physician, I spent nearly 10 years practicing Personal Injury, serving as the Medical Director to a Medical Spa, providing Expert Witness testimony as a patient advocate, and fighting for lowering healthcare bills for patients as a Physician Advisor to United Healthcare. Currently I serve as Chief Medical Officer to the pharmaceutical company Apelex World.
In my journey of healing, I turned to the practice of yoga and meditation. I lived for some time at the Sivananda Yoga Farm and Ashram where I became certified in Vedic Astrology and studied the art of Ayurvedic medicine. I trained in vinyasa and Bikram yoga at Yoga Source Los Gatos and I studied kundalini yoga with Yogamu. My passion for art and design coupled with my intellectual curiosity about chakras, a fundamental concept in the practice of yoga and physics, led me to found my clothing line Yoga N Chill, established in 2018. I also worked as an interior designer for Live Ready Homes and specialize in the art of Feng Sheui.
