Over the past twenty years I have been practicing yoga with instructors in many locales, from New York to California, in the US and abroad. I have found few instructors as formative and as inspiring as Indrani. She has a rare gift for guiding students through the renewal of body and mind in their practice, demonstrating expertise not just in the practice of yoga, but in the teaching of it as well. ~ Dennis
Beginner Yoga Classes:
"I just want to thank you for introducing me to yoga and for being my first and favorite yoga teacher. I have so enjoyed the unexpected benefits of yoga: better posture and all around health and sense of well-being" ~ Julie
"Indrani was my first yoga teacher, and I took classes with her for a year and a half. She is wonderfully patient and encouraging, as well as knowledgeable and instructive in the basics of yoga. She helps students through the poses, step by step, then quickens the pace of the poses when students are ready. Her classes were always different, with lots of variety of poses. I gained a true appreciation for the practice though my classes with Indrani." ~ Sheila
General Yoga Classes:
"I often felt intimidated to go to new yoga teachers, but thanks to the gentle pace and the different options Indrani offers in her yoga classes, I kept coming back. I was able to adapt all the poses to my level and felt challenged, invigorated and relaxed at the same time! Indrani's yoga classes are for beginners as well as advanced yoga students, and specially for those of us who look forward to experiencing yoga with a teacher that is knowledgeable, supportive and just great." ~ Susy
"As a certified personal trainer and triathlon competitor I appreciate Indrani's knowledge of the different poses and how they may help people in different ways. She leads a well-balanced practice that addresses issues throughout the entire body, and improves your mind and spirit as well. She has a gentle style that calms you yet gives you confidence to explore new poses or take the necessary modifications to meet every level. She is able to lead a class with people who have never practiced yoga and people who have been practicing for decades, and everyone walks away with the practice they needed. I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years and have not found another instructor with the grace or expertise that can lead such an effective practice as Indrani. I always left her class feeling refreshed and feeling better, both physically and mentally. Indrani has a true gift as a yoga instructor. Her kindness, patience and understanding make her yoga classes a much-needed retreat among the busy 21st century life."

"I started practicing yoga in the late 90s and have taken classes in NYC, Santa Fe, various cities in California, and while living and working at yoga retreats in Hawai'i, Costa Rica and the Caribbean. Indrani's knowledge and understanding of yoga translates through her potent and approachable presence. She balances guiding with her body and giving attention to students' needs in a way I have only experiences with the most effective instructors" ~ Kim
"Indrani is an example and a teacher....her way of doing yoga seems that there is no effort in any of her postures or movements , it is a natural way......but then also she is a very warm person always there when you need a look for reafirming or encouragement...she respects your own pace but that freedom makes you want to do better each class...and oh....the music she chooses is so wonderfull and fills your soul with images of different cultures...so the class becomes a gift for the body and the soul....I attended a large class in Cornell but it felt like a personal practice!! A wonderful person indeed!! ~ Graciela
"I regularly attended Indrani's Pranayama and Meditation class and always looked forward to that time on Friday afternoons to reflect on the past week and enjoy my yoga practice. Indrani is a confident and supportive yoga instructor. Her knowledge and approach is reassuring and inspiring. The class offered a great balance. Indrani provided consistency, but enough variety for me to feel challenged and continue learning and experiencing new movements. The class offered a lot of the things I love - flexibility and strength training and not only fitness but also breathing exercises, time for meditation, and beautiful music!" ~ Cora
Partner/Contact Yoga
"Indrani led the first class in partner yoga that I have attended. She was well-versed in two-person poses, and respectfully and gently worked with each pair to modify poses so as to promote comfort as well as interconnection. What I enjoyed most was Indrani's ability to artfully guide each pair towards better communication and playful relating. I am excited that my previously anti-yoga partner has expressed interest in doing more! I would definitely like to work with Indrani again, and am thankful for her mentoring.” ~ Donna
"The partner yoga class I took with Indrani was a great experience. I went with a friend, and we learned a lot about trust and communication. Indrani is a talented yoga instructor, and I can tell she is very passionate about her courses on partner work! I'm waiting for Cornell to offer another one of her classes! ~ Erin
