This program is just excellent. Shanthi explains the poses so clearly and precisely, that it is like you are having a private class. She shows the correct pose along with the common corrections, that students new to the work may need. The camera work on the videos is well done. Lots of love and care went into making this program ~ a delight to study,learn and grow. Shanthi, I am so grateful for you sharing this authentic program with us !  I love this YogaLaasyam  (yoga/dance/story) program!

Shanthi, I liked your presentation about Yoga and Dance and how it Culminates into the Realization of Advaita, the Ultimate State of Vedantic Experience. Dance…gets one to LIVE right in the PRESENT MOMENT, forgetting the past and the future…the feeling of unification of all parts of our personality, at the individual and the universal level. That was AMAZING!

This is part of a 45 minute workshop on "Feminine Empowerment" done in Lincoln school, RI, USA for the high school girls, in which as part of Empowerment through Movement, we did a portion from my video training called "YogaLaasyam (formerly HappyMoves)" which is a union of Yoga poses, Indian classical dance and Storytelling. Students share the impact that a single pose had on them.

I’m NOT a person who is practicing Yoga, but it fascinated me. I saw her (Shanthi) making a COMPLEX  thing so very SIMPLE.  I see it being of use to people who want to improve their flexibility, who have other medical problems…develop better range of motion and strengthen themselves. I can see a tremendous Body-Mind-Spirit connection.

Everyone who participated in the Yoga Dance workshop with Shanthi had an ILLUMINATING EXPERIENCE,  where it took them to experience Yoga in a new and different way.  What Shanthi is onto, in bringing Yoga and the beautiful Indian dance together, is something VERY, VERY SPECIAL. I encourage you to learn about it and experience it for yourself.

Shanthi’s presentation of YogaLaasyam (HappyMoves) is very APPEALING to me. I like her connection with nature and the universe. Her explanation for every posture and Mudra is VERY DIFFERENT from what I have heard. I RECOMMEND everyone to have a look at this.

For many years, I was wondering what could be…the REMEDY FOR CHILDREN who have been VICTIMS OF CHILD ABUSE…traumatized in their childhood, who SUFFER FROM COGNITIVE DEFICIENCIES: like low learning, low self-esteem, lack of attention, lack of concentration, and arrested learning process. I FOUND SHANTHI’S NOTION OF DANCE AS YOGA BENEFICIAL. These children experience a disintegration of their Mind, Body, and Soul. It requires a connective source, connective dynamism, and a connective device that somehow connects…their body, mind, and soul. The dance Shanthi talks about is very useful because it engages the scattered body movements…gives it an orientation with the mind.

Shanthi’s demo of Brahma Gayatri Asana is a UNIQUE METHOD, where she has COMBINED ART WITH YOGA and explaining…in the FORM OF A STORY. You can get a lot out of it physically, mentally, and also spiritually. What APPEALS to me is the touch of ART, the way she presents it.

I’ve been doing Yoga for the last 10 years. Her teaching style is UNIQUE… The background introduction…and the substance Shanthi has given to each posture, conveyed to me the simplicity, and ease of doing it and why we have to do it. Her message gives…PHYSICAL THERAPY, and MENTAL PEACE, AND HELPS ALL SPHERES OF LIFE. Shanthi’s method appeals to the heart!
