Why I teach
I teach because these practices became meaningful to me when they moved beyond the mat and into daily life. I want to offer others a space to explore that for themselves.

About
About Nandi
I teach yoga as a practical way to become more present, steady, and connected in everyday life. I am also the author of Closer to the Self, and much of my work grows from the same interest in awareness, reflection, and living with greater clarity.
Philosophy & teaching style
My classes may include movement, breathwork, meditation, mantra, kriya, reflection, and sound. I keep the practice simple, grounded, and approachable, with space for each person to move at their own pace and notice what is happening within.
