I was never a fan of yoga classes until I crossed paths with Anand. He is able to cater to your individual skill set and thoroughly explains different poses and breathing techniques, all while soothingly guiding you through shavasana with his tranquil voice and musical accompaniment. His gifted talents truly make for an exceptional experience.

My top pick for a yoga instructor is Anand. He was the first to introduce me to yoga and I feel fortunate to have had him as my initial teacher. Anand excels at guiding beginner students in proper breathing and form. He always respects personal space and asks permission before adjusting your position. His professionalism is exemplary. Anand possesses a beautiful singing voice that he sometimes shares with his students. He caters to all abilities, from novice to expert, and has a skillful approach to ensuring gentle care of the body. Another noteworthy attribute is Anand's ability to lead meditation practices. He played a significant role in helping me navigate through a challenging period in my life, marked by loss and anxiety. I am forever grateful for having the opportunity to work with this outstanding, thoughtful, talented, thorough, and professional teacher. Anand radiates positivity and is an inspiration. I wholeheartedly endorse him.

With years of experience practicing yoga, as well as a yoga teacher training credential and minor in yoga, I can confidently say that Anand is the best yoga teacher I have ever had. Numerous reasons support this statement, including his exceptional ability to create an environment for deep practice by gracefully balancing introspection with attentiveness to each student's progress. Moreover, Anand possesses a thorough education in the practice of asana, as well as expert knowledge of breath work and meditation. His understanding of all aspects of yoga is truly evident in his weaving together of breath work and mindfulness within the practice. It has been an immensely fortunate and enlightening experience to work with this bright and knowledgeable individual, who brings a perfect blend of lightheartedness and dedication to every teaching.
