GoogleWe came from Singapore 🇸🇬 to learn the singing bowl from Baba Krishna at Aranya Yoga, and it has been such a beautiful experience. He teaches in the most simple and traditional way, yet with so much depth and wisdom. During the class, we felt a lot of high vibrational energies — you can even notice the energy orbs in the photos we took! Thank you, Baba Krishna, for your hospitality, for sharing yoga poses, and for guiding us in mantra singing. Truly a wise man with a pure heart. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authentic learning and spiritual connection.
A Life-Changing Experience at Aranya Yoga Embarking on the Yoga Teacher Training at Aranya Yoga was truly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the very first day, I felt embraced by a warm and nurturing energy that stayed with me throughout the entire journey. Krishna Das Baba is an extraordinary teacher—wise, compassionate, and deeply inspiring. His presence alone is transformative, and his teachings come straight from the heart. The yoga classes were both challenging and empowering, pushing me beyond my limits while always feeling supported and safe. I grew not only in strength and flexibility but also in confidence and self-awareness. The philosophy and anatomy sessions with Nitin and Sheetal were a highlight—rich, thought-provoking, and beautifully delivered. I found myself completely captivated by the stories of the gods and the profound wisdom of yogic mythology. Each lesson was a doorway into deeper understanding, not just of yoga, but of life itself. And the food… absolutely divine! Every meal was a celebration of flavor and nourishment, crafted with love and care. The culinary experience alone was worth the trip. The excursions added a magical touch—whether exploring nature, visiting sacred sites, or simply soaking in the beauty of the surroundings, everything was a joyful adventure. Aranya Yoga offers so much more than just yoga, it’s a full immersion into a conscious, heart-centered way of living. I left not only with a certification but with a renewed spirit, lifelong friendships, and memories I will cherish forever. If you’re considering this journey—don’t hesitate. It’s not just a training. It’s a transformation. 🧘♀️✨
I recently took a Reiki healing session with Suzanne and it was a truly amazing experience. I was going through some mental health challenges and was feeling very stressed and low. Suzanne did a 45-minute Reiki session for me, and the experience was incredibly calming and powerful. After the session, I felt a noticeable sense of relief, happiness, and positive energy. It felt like a heavy weight had been lifted and my mind became much more peaceful. The session helped me relax deeply and reconnect with a more balanced and energetic state. Suzanne is very kind, professional, and creates a very safe and comfortable environment during the healing process. I am really grateful for this experience and would highly recommend her Reiki sessions to anyone looking for emotional balance, relaxation, and positive energy.
Hello, I went to Aranya Yoga back in 2018. It was an amazing and magical time! Even throughout the years, it remains a very valuable and formidable time. I met many great fellow yogis and yoginis - and was met with a great and fun instructor, Krishna Baba. We learned about yoga (Hatha and Ashtanga) and digestion and other body functions and anatomy, we ate good food and again, had a great time. The discipline of the yoga met with the mountains of the Himalayas and the wonderful people allowed for a magical time of learning, exploring, and expansion - both inwards and out. I have many body issues and Aranya Yoga was able to accommodate and adapt to my limitations and abilities in order to keep me involved and active and safe. They were also able to direct me to other medical practitioners in the area in almost a synchronistic fashion in order, again, to help me on my healing and spiritual journey. I am very thankful and proud of my time in India, as an American and world traveler, and Aranya yoga will be in my heart along with those who I met for many a long time! It most certainly felt like a home away from home when I needed safety and refuge. If you are looking for a wonderful yogi experience, I suggest you check it out. If you are looking for that and more, it may also be the place for you. Let your heart guide you - Blessings! Jeffrey
I had been struggling with stomach issues for several days and was feeling quite uncomfortable and drained. A friend suggested that I try a Reiki session with Suzanne, so I decided to give it a chance. To my surprise, the experience was truly remarkable. During the session, I felt a deep sense of calm and relaxation. At one point, I even felt as if my body was gently lifting upwards, which created an incredible feeling of lightness and ease. What amazed me the most was that the same day after the session, I experienced instant relief from the stomach discomfort that had been troubling me for days. I felt noticeably more energetic, lighter, and much more balanced afterwards. The positive effect of the session encouraged me to book another session with Suzanne, and it again left me feeling refreshed and peaceful. Suzanne has a very calming presence and made the entire experience feel safe and comfortable. Whether you are dealing with stress, physical discomfort, or simply looking to relax and rebalance your energy, I would highly recommend trying a Reiki session with her. It was a wonderful experience for me and I’m grateful I decided to try it.
