I am a cosmetic dentist  with 2 busy practices. My work is both stressful and physically demanding. During the two years that I have worked with Raj I have found her class to be physically challenging, and spiritually relaxing. I look forward to her classes and have found them to be beneficial in my daily practice. Raj has the gift of teaching 30-40 students at various levels of ability in the same room while reaching out to each one of them.

Raj has been my teacher for about three years, and she is the most wonderful teacher I have ever studied with. I had been practicing yoga for many years and had developed strength and flexibility and a good sense of alignment. But Raj took my practice to a whole new level. She showed me that I could attempt postures that I had thought were beyond my ability. She showed me that I could go deeper and farther and longer than I had thought possible. She caught me taking shortcuts (I wasn't aware I was doing this), and never lets me get away with that! As a result, my practice has become more disciplined.
Raj is an inspiration in many ways. Her own practice is beautiful to watch. She brings new postures to every class, so that her teaching never falls into familiar ruts. During relaxation, she shares thoughts about peacefulness and joyfulness that bespeak a wisdom rare in anyone, let alone someone so young. Raj is an "old soul" who can transmit that wisdom to those fortunate enough to be in her presence. I feel very lucky that my path has crossed hers.
