Shanti Ma Dasi

She is now completing her Yoga Therapy training through Prema Yoga Institute and is also Yin and Therapeutic Restorative certified. After witnessing the transformation that yoga brought to her own life, she felt compelled to become a yoga teacher in order to help others access this peace that she now knows is accessible to all beings. Shanti Ma's classes combine the physical benefits of asana, the spiritual benefits of pranayama, and sound healing including crystal bowls and chanting. Shanti Ma finds peace in life through Bhakti, playing the harmonium, hiking, and knitting. She has a special passion for working with and etching stones, and finds herself replenished when surrounded by nature. Shanti Ma has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She has gained unending wisdom through caring for her medically fragile and developmentally delayed son over the past 23 years, and finds this to be one of the most rewarding and enriching parts of her life. Shanti Ma has three beautiful adult children, and currently lives in Milton, NY with her son.
