Kalyani L

Kalyani's classes combine the six branches of yoga so students can experience a range of benefits. Certified through Integral Yoga in 1999, she found the training to be transformational. With more focus, acceptance, and awareness, Kalyani wanted to share the benefits of yoga with the community. Her teaching has involved lots of karma yoga, including leading classes at the Bon Air Correctional Facility, Virginia Center for the Visually Impaired, Humphry Caulder Center, and many other locations in the community as well as mentoring teacher trainees and helping to train subsequent teachers in the Integral tradition. By incorporating elements of Raja Yoga in class, she tries to reach the individual on their own terms for as long as it takes them to attain a state of Yoga. "We also spend time discussing how, as practicing yogis, we can radiate some of our own positive practice into the world around us."
