A Viņā gives exquisite heavenly music only when its strings are attuned adequately and played upon harmoniously. One of the principal meanings of Yoga is 'Sangati' - harmony. Joy of positive health depends upon harmony between all bodily and mental functions.

I followed the 300 hour yoga teacher training from November to December at Samatva Yogalaya. It has enriched me in so many aspects. Krishna and Sangeeta welcome you in their family. They are very warm personalities. You quickly feel at home in the ashram. In addition, they are both sincere Yogis. They practice the yogic lifestyle genuinely. No false pretensions. Both Krishna and Sangeeta are excellent teachers. They have an enormous treasure of knowledge that they share with you. They are approachable, are open to all questions that might arise in you and they always know a way when your body encounters an obstacle in asanas. “You get what you deserve” Krishna always says. I am so lucky we deserved each other. For me these weeks were sometimes confronting, but always positive and safe. I have learned so much! Thank you, Krishna and Sangeeta for your unwavering commitment, your energy, love and knowledge. I cherish the time with you. We’ll keep in touch!
