Testimonials:

"I had been suffering from severe Tinnitus for over a year. My doctor had explained to me that there is no cure for Tinnitus and I got to live with it. My wife organized a private class for me to learn Shanmukhi Mudra. Since I started practicing it, the swooshing of the ears stopped around day number 8. I heard a bird call in a very long time. I am grateful to my wife and the practice". - Felipe Marrero, Tampa, Florida.

​

"Shanmukhi Mudra helped me with my vertigo situation. I was not able to bend forward even a little. Just after two weeks of doing this practice, I gradually started to see a difference. Now after 3 months, I do not experience vertigo anymore. Being an artist, mother, wife, teacher and director of an organization, this vertigo was coming in my way of life. I am truly grateful for his timely teaching, and helping me to keep it up regularly". - Dr. Sarika Singh, Director of Center for Living Bhuddhist Art, India.

Cooking is a fun fulfilling activity for everyone especially when our families/friends get to taste the results of our passionate work. Cooking helps with focus, attention, coordination and increases the ability to care and share responsibility.

​

Food is the fuel for this body yet it is not only for the body. What we eat not only satisfies the hunger but also nourishes our body, mind and energy. How we eat and how we treat our food from mother earth plays a significant role if one seeks absolute health and sustenance of this human mechanism. So, what we eat directly affects the way we think and function in a huge way.

 

In our cooking classes, we bring inspiration to make better choices of food, snacks and sweets along with yummy simplified recipes that you can do-it-yourself. We would cook a 3 course meal and shine light upon the three pranic values of food, spices and their uses/remedies, order of the six tastes for effective digestion, how to intake, and how to design a balanced diet of proteins, vitamins, minerals, probiotics and carbohydrates, and touch upon the proportions of liquid and solid portions in every meal. We prepare such a meal to the best of our abilities in our class.

Dance Leela is an opportunity for a community get together to play and dance. It cultivates body-mind coordination, creativity, team work, critical thinking and inclusion. The games we play are of traditional and contemporary. The dance forms are of Indian folk origin which can be danced single, with a partner or as a group. We also use sticks to create rhythmic movements to go with the beat, music and the steps. Since this Indian folk dance form is new in the community, steps are taught meticulously and made easy to follow. Children, adults and seniors can participate.

​

To those who are totally involved, Dance Leela offers so much fun and leaves everyone utterly full of love, light and laughter. It cannot be fully described as it is something to be experienced :)
