I
recommend
studying
and
practicing
with
Samatva
Yogalaya
to
anyone
committed
to
grounding
and
strengthening
their
yoga
practice
and
study
of
self.
What
a
BLESSING
to
study
and
practice
Hatha
yoga
with
the
guidence
of
Krishna.
It
has
been
over
three
years
since
begining
study
at
Samatva
yogalaya
and
I
am
grateful
to
have
learned
how
to
cultivate
an
enriching
foundation
for
this
temporal
body
on
earth.
Before
practicing
yoga,
I
was
severely
dissociated
from
my
body
and
suffocating
with
anxiety,
unconscious
of
my
habits
and
enviroment...
I
literally
did
not
know
how
to
breathe
and
was
too
self
conscious
to
admit
that
I
needed
help.
I
chose
to
begin
practicing
yoga
almost
ten
years
ago,
it
has
radically
shifted
how
I
relate
with
myself
and
the
world.
A
dear
friend
on
the
path
who
Ive
practiced
with
studied
with
Krishna
and
recommended
Samatva
yogalaya
when
I
told
her
I
was
looking
to
deepen
my
practice.
I
was
put
off
by
a
lot
of
what
was
being
offered
by
studios
as
yoga
in
the
US.
My
personal
home
practice
I
began
had
been
so
transformative,
I
wanted
to
learn
how
to
understand
from
a
practical
grounded
sense
and
to
study
in
India
to
seek
yoga
is
'closer
to
it's
essence'
but
was
concerned
my
western
mind
would
not
be
able
to
digest.
(:
I
did
a
200
hr
month
long
study,
deep
gradual
dive--
I
left
Samatva
not
knowing
in
the
mind
how
to
make
sense
of
what
my
body
had
experinced
and
released
but
so
appreciative
for
consistency
and
simplicity
equipped
with
tools
to
trust
in
regular
practice.
Focused
on
foundation,
alignment,
practical
methods
of
philosophy
and
movement.
The
teachings
shared
teach
you
how
to
learn
yourself
and
guidelines
to
living
a
harmonic
life.
Krishna
brings
so
much
love
humility
and
humor
to
his
teachings
and
life,
shared
simply
his
knowledge
transmits
in
bite
sizes.
I
appreciated
the
small
size
of
students
and
how
comforting
and
welcoming
he
and
his
family
are.
We
are
all
one
yoga
family
at
Samatva
Yogalaya.
:)
I
write
this
over
3
years
after
begining
my
journey
studying
at
Samatva,
I
had
the
honor
of
connecting
through
online
classes
with
Krishna
in
the
last
couple
years
which
really
helped
me
to
get
back
into
remembering
my
practice,
especially
expanding
my
connection
with
the
breath
and
pranayama
practice.
I
feel
replenished
in
the
consistent
of
practice,
and
find
more
ease
and
balance
in
the
subtly
of
self
and
the
present
moment.
So
abundantly
enriched
by
the
connections
made,
for
yoga
family,
for
Krishna,
Sangeeta
and
Aneesh.
So
much
love
and
gratitude!
