I spent the month of July at Suddha Anand for their 200 hr teacher training and it has left such a profound impact on me. From the moment I contacted Shara, she exuded warmth ( even through email!) with each of her thoughtful responses to all of my many questions. When my partner Matt and I arrived, we met Shara and Sachin and they were so welcoming, kind, and helpful. Both in the classes and outside, they were always reachable and even came rushing to bring us to the hospital when we got sick. They both went above and beyond what we could hope for and did so with genuine compassion and concern for those around them. The course itself was vastly informative and transformative. From the asana classes to pranayama, anatomy, philosophy, and meditation, the course expanded my understanding of what is yoga and I am so grateful to be able to pass forward these lessons as a yoga teacher. Thank you Shara, Sachin, Dr. Sumit, and Guru Ji for creating such a nurturing, warm, and welcoming shala where I felt supported in every lesson, question, challenge, posture, kriya, and adventure this past month! Oodles of love for Suddha Anand and everyone involved in making July training so special (including the chai stall man next store)
