Rina is known for her vibrant and uplifting approach to yoga. Never shy, Rina openly shares the lessons of her life without reservation, fostering an environment of complete trust.

"All I had to do was take one class with Rina and I knew we had found the yogi for our daily show," says HWC's Drew Nederpelt. "Not only does she provide a formidable, yet accommodating workout, but her inclusion of sutra's and affirmations are what compelled us to pursue her for the network's cornerstone yoga show. When you're a health and wellness broadcaster, your daily yoga show is important, and we trust it completely in Rina's hands," Nederpelt says.

The show will air daily on the network from 7-8am. "A healthy body and mind are key ingredients to happy, successful living. The launch of HWC and the YOUnity Yoga show are big steps to helping millions of people across the country achieve this goal.
