After moving to New York City in 1981, she studied and performed opera, dance and world music, eventually finding Kirtan in 2000. She performed with SRI Kirtan from 2004-2016. As a seeker, Ishwari studied many variations of Indian philosophies. She found herself as a bhakti yoga practitioner and studied with Shyamdas for ten years.
