Best yoga teachers in Adelaide

Namaste!

My name is Vani, as a child of Hindu Brahmin (scholars) family I was introduced to Yoga at a very early age, however, my true Yoga journey started in 2003 when I was 18. I lost my parents that year and my tender mind went too restless to know the deeper meaning of life and its different aspects. This led me to take shelter of Yoga to satisfy my soul and look forward in life. After experiencing the benefits of Yoga, I decided to dedicate myself completely to it and share the same benefits with others.

I started my formal training to become a Yoga teacher in 2005. I completed my post graduated in Masters of Sciences in Yoga Therapy from India, I have also done a Bachelor of Sciences in Nutrition and Clinical Dietetics. To fulfill my quest for Yoga, I continued my journey in the company of many mystics and Gurus of Himalayas (initiated in Himalayan Yoga Tradition). I especially like sharing a philosophy of Yoga and Meditation.

I am inspired by the life-changing results of the Yoga practices and my vision is to spread it in its true meaning so that people can achieve their complete well-being (physically, mentally and spiritually). Apart from Yoga, I love Indian classical dancing, food, and traveling.

Love & Peace
