About Abha:

Abha is an Assistant Professor in the departments of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Abha earned her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she investigated the amygdala's role in stress regulation. Prior to joining Mount Sinai, she conducted postdoctoral research at the University of California-Los Angeles, focusing on understanding certain neuropeptides' impact on stress. At the Icahn School of Medicine, her team explores how the brain, vagus nerve, and body mechanisms contribute to fear, stress, and anxiety.
Beyond her work in the lab, Abha is deeply passionate about whole-body health and spiritual exploration through Yoga. She views science and spirituality as integral parts of life, each posing unique questions approached through distinct methodologies about the objective and subjective reality. She is fascinated by the questions about human consciousness and practical applications of philosophy in daily practice.
While her yoga journey began in Nepal, she delves into profound inquiries about human existence within the cosmic realm, blending logic, reasoning, knowledge, and mysticism from both science and yoga philosophy and practice.
