In 2014 Tina and her husband relocated to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and took her first trip to the K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in February of 2015 after traveling to Goa for her 500 hour YA certificate. She has since been on now six trips to study with Sharath Jois who has now become her teacher and guru. Sharath gave Tina his blessing and Authorization on November 29th, 2017. Tina will continue to return study with Sharath for as long as possible, because she firmly believes that a teacher should never stop being a student. Tina ran a Mysore program in Abu Dhabi and has since relocated to San Francisco with her family.
