Bani has been teaching in various capacities for over 25 years. She has been practicing Yoga for over 10 years and acquired her 200 hour Yoga Certification through Open Sky Yoga here in Rochester NY. Her style of Yoga maintains the principles of her Iyengar training which has a particular emphasis on proper alignment and precision to gain flexibility and strength. She sees yoga as a science that contributes to the evolution of our consciousness. This evolution includes bodily health as well as self-realization. She believes that Yoga is not a series of poses to achieve, but rather a way of Being ones self that is not just for the young and flexible, but for everyone! She has taken several trainings to enhance her teaching including the Teacher Training for Jon Kabit Zinn’s Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course through the University of San Diego California Medical Center.
