BODY     MIND    SPIRIT

I have been taking yoga lessons with Shalini since Jan 2019. My experience has been quite amazing. I feel energized, relaxed and calm after each session. I am learning more about my body and mind and enjoying this journey. 

Shalini is very knowledgable and is a great teacher. She teaches a wide variety of yoga poses and the nuances in them. Most importantly, she tells you what you shouldn’t do in a pose which is very helpful to understand how it is supposed to be done. She gives variations depending on the body type and comfort level of the person. At the same time,  she is not scared to push you forward and challenge you. My favorite part of the session is practicing the various breathing techniques as well as her short discourses on positivity and gratitude. I believe I have a slightly increased sense of appreciation for people and things in my life. She has a full time job and yet her commitment to yoga is very admirable. I think I found a teacher and a friend that I will cherish! -- Subha

My understanding and appreciation for yoga has broadened after taking class with Shal. It has helped me to deal with stressful situations as they arise, have more restful sleeps, and feel an overall strength in mind and body. I started classes with the first session in Fall, 2018 and have attended all sessions thus far. -- Chitra (Attended multiple sessions)

That ability to have a positive impact on other people's lives is fantastic and good karma will come back to you and your family manifold. I really thank God for this connection. You have been of great help in a lot of ways and I am also feeling calmer and more fit after starting yoga classes. (Attended multiple sessions)

Absolutely loved the class and your instructional approach. I have learned a lot about my own personal breathing and ways to incorporate practices on a more regular basis. -- Melissa (Yoga 6 week beginners series)

If you have never done yoga, this is a good beginners course to understand the poses and how to breathe with movement. I loved understanding how to breathe through the moves because often in most classes in the past, I struggled to understand how to breathe through the cycle. -- Catherine (Yoga 6 week beginners series)

Initially I found it hard to do some of the poses but liked the encouragement to keep trying. I really enjoyed how you taught in a very non judgemental way and worked with us beginners. -- Beth (Yoga 6 week beginners series)

I was very happy to attend the class. You are a nice teacher, liked the way you conducted the class and your instructions were perfect. Thanks for the opportunity. -- Shobana (Yoga 10 week beginners series)

Yogawithshal's beginner yoga class is the most relaxing part of my week and I look forward to it all week long. Shalini maintains a great balance between helping me challenge myself and doing so safely. Though the class is quick-paced, she manages to explain every asana in sufficient detail - its use, practice and variations. I'm so glad I found such a dedicated and sweet teacher. - Supriya (Yoga 10 week beginners series)

My first and foremost word is about Shalini -- got introduced as a friend, a great human being with very warm heart n beautiful smile😀But as a teacher the calmness you have was induced in the atmosphere too.Your constant instructions n shlokas reciting in that soothing voice is the most relaxing factor.Many of them practice on counts which makes it distracting or hurrying things up.On the whole it was connecting our mind body and soul n also soothing them.Thanks and best wishes on your new Venture. -- Asha

It sure was a great introductory class- focusing on the basics of yoga- the breathing, body positions and  gentle moves. The space was relaxing and peaceful, clean and serene.  Your voice was so steady and clear, which I really liked, helping me Center my focus on the core energy in us. You were very clear with the instruction which made it easy to follow and transition smoothly. I can see how we can gradually progress with the right form and techniques as we advance. I feel less fearful of injury through wrong postures as in most advanced yoga classes. Thoroughly enjoyed the class and felt rejuvenated at the end. - Smitha

I really enjoyed the yoga class, she was very professional and detailed in her explaination.She made sure we understand the benefit of each yoga asana.. Highly recommend yogawithshal, be it a beginner level or intermediate level..she works as per individual requirements.Thanks again for giving us a opportunity to attend your introductory session.. - Ranjini
