"Shilpa’s online yoga classes are fun, time saving and distraction free. She provides variations to the poses that I find very interesting. I like the time management as no time is wasted in between the poses so it is a good session in a short amount of time. Online classes keep my yoga routine in place while saving time and energy to drive to the studio. I have learned many new poses and like the fun poses thrown in by her. She’s really a good yoga instructor!!" - George M.

"I like that Shilpa's class is about going inwards and feeling grounded. Other places of yoga use music. Music is a distraction and I like that at Shilpa's classes, we focus on the self and on going inwards. This is very much needed as these days there is no support from elsewhere. Yoga gives me that support and I find it in her class." - Karen R.

"I met Shilpa in the spring of 2017 while practicing yoga. I was very impressed with her yoga presence and understanding of Purna Yoga. She is attentive and thoroughly explains the benefits of each pose while making adjustments when necessary to attain the correct alignment. Through her understanding of the body and of Purna Yoga she has a great sense of what people’s limits are and appropriate level of difficulty. She has the great ability of bringing out the best in people’s practice while being informative and compassionate. I am very grateful and lucky to have met Shilpa. She is not your cookie-cutter yoga instructor. " - Nancy B.

"I have done yoga on and off in the past at a local gym. I never really knew if what I was doing was right. A friend of mine introduced me to Shilpa. I took a couple private and semi private classes. For each Asana she explains which muscles to engage and she assures that you are in the correct position. She also uses props for balance and alignment which I now find very helpful. She is a wonderful teacher, easy and comfortable to work with, understanding and passionate about her work. The combination of meditation, stretching, and relaxation made each session like a mini retreat. Thank you! " - Anna W.
