Testimonials -
"Sessions with Shanti Ma are a gift. I feel more grounded and spacious in my body every time I receive a yoga therapy session with her. The environment that she creates through her compassion is calming, gracious, and nurturing. She provides a safe harbor for connecting with oneself and gives permission to me as the client to be wherever I am so that I can rest deeply and feel held. Through our sessions, the anxiety I experience has decreased and my mind feels clearer. She can traverse a wide variety of needs and cares deeply about providing the therapies that are most relevant to me on the day of our sessions. I highly recommend working with her if you wish to feel safer in your body, at home in yourself, and connected to the healing forces within your own essence."

"I have been seeing Shanti Ma one-on-one for a few months now. I feel completely safe and vulnerable with her and am able to really get what I need with the space she holds. I am so thankful to have found such a genuine and caring practitioner to facilitate my yoga therapy needs."
~ C. L.
"My experience with Shanti Ma's classes was amazing.
Restorative yoga is nothing like I had experienced before... I had never experienced such a state of calm and peace and felt so centered and rejuvenated.
Thanks Shanti Ma.
I would highly recommend her sessions!"
~ Anjali
“That was just what my body needed to release the tension in my back! Your sessions leave me feeling calm, centered, and re-grounded.”
~ S. P.
"Part of taking care of myself has been restorative yoga with Shanti Ma Dasi. I encourage anyone who has heavy things they carry to consider going. It has been so healing for me. "
~ M. J.
"I have been taking Slow Flow/Restorative Yoga with Shanti Ma for over a year now. I struggled with relaxation, but also with digestive issues. Two things have happened since starting this journey: First, Shanti Ma has been able to help me find poses that can be calming and a reminder that breath is important, it's amazing how some of the very slight movements we make can have such a significant impact. And Second, I swear that this has also helped improve my digestive system. With a cleaner diet and the restorative poses that I have been taught, it has made a tremendous improvement on my gut health! Thank you Shanti Ma for your positive, calming, and grounding (and sometimes funny) energy and Shavasana! Anyone who has done or does Shavasana with you knows the power it holds!"
~ S. B.
May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be safe, may you live with ease. May you connect to your inner peace and joy.
