The hour I spent doing yoga with Sugandha was the best hour of my week. I got everything I needed, a little bit of workout to break some sweat, strong stretch in sore muscles, and deep relaxation at the end. It’s truly authentic Yoga.I also took Ayurvedic Consultation with Sugandha to understand my constitution which help me prevent certain illness and live holistically.

I had such a nice time in the 2 cooking classes I took from Sugandha! She is so knowledgeable and welcoming. The food was healthy and fabulous. Her instructions were easy to understand and recreate for myself. I would highly recommend anything she offers!!!

I’m so grateful to have found Sugandha! I first met her while attending her introductory workshop on the basics of Ayurveda. It was very informative and helped me to better understand my body type. I then completed an Ayurveda consultation with Sugandha where we dove deeper into what imbalances were occurring within my body and simple changes I could make in my life to get back into balance. Sugandha was available to answer my questions along the way. I can’t wait to learn more from her through her other courses!
