Join us for a Monday Morning Therapeutic Yoga class, where we focus on mindful movement, breathwork, and deep relaxation. By slowing down and calming the nervous system, we not only explore the physical body but also delve into the deeper, root causes of stress, tension, and imbalance. This approach recognizes that our health is deeply intertwined with our personal experiences and the broader environment. We understand that illness, trauma, and emotional unrest are reflections of these interconnections, and our practice aims to address them with care and intention.

Body - Mind Approach With Ashwini
Welcome to a transformative journey of holistic well-being with Ashwini Shannikodi. This is a humble expression of gratitude for the teachings of yoga. With the intention of fostering an inclusive and nurturing space, I offer yoga as a path where personal growth seamlessly integrates into daily life. Through cultivating self-awareness, mindfulness, and self-compassion on the mat, we empower ourselves to embody these qualities beyond our practice.

I deeply believe in the profound connection between the physical, mental, and energetic layers of our being, understanding that true wellness arises from nurturing all aspects of ourselves. In my classes, you'll find a unique blend of ancient teachings and modern insights, creating a harmonious space for personal growth and self-discovery.
