Shanti Ma Dasi is a C-IAYT certified Yoga Therapist and 500-hour RYT who has been practicing and loving yoga for over 25 years.

Shanti Ma finds peace in life through yoga, chanting, playing the harmonium, hiking, and knitting. She has a special passion for providing trauma-sensitive yoga sessions and classes. Shanti Ma has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
