I have the privilege of learning from Sadhana both in my YTT200 training and in my daily practice. Her depth of knowledge, calm yet powerful presence, and passion for yoga have been truly inspiring. Whether in group sessions or private classes, she creates a supportive environment that nurtures growth—both physical and mental. Her personalized guidance in our private sessions has deepened my practice in ways I could have never imagined, helping me connect more fully with both the asanas and the spiritual essence of yoga. She also offers gentle yet powerful energy work, bringing a sense of balance and renewal to my mind, body, and spirit, leaving me after each session feeling more centered, lighter, and with a clear sense of inner peace.
I have also traveled with Sadhana Shakti to some of the most transformative places in the world, including India, Bali, and Jamaica. Each journey has enriched my understanding of yoga, mindfulness, and self-discovery. Her teachings are deeply rooted in ancient wisdom, yet she creates a space for personal growth that feels incredibly modern and relevant. Whether meditating by the Ganges, practicing asanas in the lush jungles of Bali, or finding peace on the beaches of Jamaica, she guides with warmth, compassion, and profound insight. I am truly grateful for her wisdom and mentorship, for her presence, and for the amazing journeys we’ve shared.

Sadhana’s loving guidance transformed my life during a time of deep pain and searching. After the loss of my daughter, I was overwhelmed with grief. That’s when I met Sadhana. She welcomed me with a love and compassion that made me feel safe and supported.
She introduced me to A Course in Miracles, breathwork, and meditations during 300 days of sunrise practices on the beach. Later, I began practicing Skanda Yoga, which has helped me find balance, inner peace, and a deeper connection with my true self.
Her wisdom and dedication are remarkable, but what truly stands out is that her teaching goes beyond the physical technique. She has helped me discover my purpose, find meaning in life, and connect with something greater than myself.
I am deeply grateful to have her in my life.

I have practiced with Sadhana for more than 10 years. She has been a life coach and believed in me at my lowest, and is present to push me past my physical and mental obstacles. Her classes always have a meaningful message of reflection which manages to make its way into the practice of the day in the most magical way.

“Since moving to Miami three years ago, meeting Sadhana has been life-changing for me. Her guidance has taken my yoga practice to the next level, both as a student and a teacher. I’ve done her 200-hour teacher training, joined her moon circles, and regularly attend her classes at Skanda. I am deeply grateful to have crossed paths with Sadhana and recommend her to anyone looking for the path of self-discovery and growth. The community she has built and her quality of teaching are truly unmatched.”

There comes a time in the life of every yogini or yogi when they decide to deepen their practice. A trip to India then becomes a rite of passage to that next level of practice not only in the physical realm but also the cultural and the spiritual. Should you sign up, this expedition you are about to embark on, is a journey within as much as it is without. India is indeed a magical land that presents our western minds with mysteries as well as challenges. And there is no better way to experience India than under the guidance of our two amazing teachers Sadhana Shakti and Anand. They have tirelessly devoted their lives to discovering the best ways of yoga instruction and how to transmit their knowledge in order to inspire change in all of us, to better our lives, to bring love and light to our shared consciousness. Our Skanda yoga trip to India was the trip of a lifetime and I can’t wait to be able to join our teachers on another adventure of self-discovery and yoga bliss.

I feel incredibly blessed and grateful for the day I walked into SKANDA YOGA STUDIO in Miami for my first class, years ago. I had practiced all over Miami, and after that first class with Anand – knew it was the place for me. There is a positive energy that ignites during classes, they are challenging and energizing. I’ve met some amazing people and friends. I’ve deepened my practice and believe that each class brings balance to my life. Thank you, Skanda!

I was that guy that thought yoga wasn’t for me! Until 8 months that I discovered Skanda Yoga through Maddison, also a runner. She had suggested that because I was having some injuries that yoga would probably help. At first I was very skeptical but decided to give it a shot. From the first class I took, I was like “wow” this was good and a little intense. So good that I am now practicing Skanda three times a week. I’m also happy to report I am injury free for the first time in 3 years and running better than ever. I am now definitely hooked on Skanda Yoga and grateful for the practice. 🙏🏽

For me, Skanda Yoga is the perfect mix of my 2 loves, Ashtanga & Vinyasa. It has the structure, mindfulness, tradition, intensity and breath focus of Ashtanga with the playfulness of Vinyasa. All of the 20 sequences were mindfully and intentionally put together to work off the energy of the day, so it give real meaning and purpose to what you are doing.
With different level classes there is something for everyone from beginner to advanced, and I find myself continually being challenged in ways no other class or studio has challenged me in the past. The community in one word is Amazing! Anand and Sadhana are both very knowledgeable, dedicated and devoted practitioners and it comes across in their teaching and the way they run the studio. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this studio, and I’m grateful I found it and to be a part of the Skanda community.

When I started practicing yoga four years ago, I was motivated – like many others – by a desire to be healthier, less stressed and more energetic. As I’ve become more deeply involved in my practice (I was recently certified as a Skanda Yoga instructor), and as my career has become increasingly rewarding (and challenging as well!), yoga has taught me some valuable lessons about life and about work, and how the two are both separate and distinct and at the same time closely integrated.
While certainly helping me to manage stressful situations at work and gain perspective, I’ve come to realize that my yoga practice has become much more than a way to start the day on a positive note or wind down after a long week. What I’ve found is that it’s directly aligned to almost every aspect of my role in business. The school of yoga I follow – Skanda – is a breath-inspired practice that uses stretching, flexibility and strengthening to develop qualities such as will, perseverance and courage and, through them, prompt transformation in all levels of being.
As the Chief Marketing Officer for the US and Canada of a technology services business, all of these attributes are essential to my daily responsibilities as well as to my long-term goals. To respond to ongoing changes in the market and to effectively support and mentor my team, I need to be flexible, focused, persistent and (occasionally) courageous. I need to support transformation – both for my team internally and for our customers. And goodness knows I need to be able to breathe!!!.

Skanda Yoga is simply the best. Having practiced for just over 6 years now, all over Miami as well as in travels, I feel that the Skanda practice is simply the best for so many reasons. The sequencing makes sense, your body will love it. Every class is different, it follows the energy of the Mayan calendar! It is fun, playful and empowering. Skanda takes me beyond my comfort zone and I feel that every time I am lucky enough to practice there, it is the highlight of my day. The best energy, the best yoga, the best teachers, period.
