My story

It began with drum beats, in 8th grade.

India · 1988
Yoga begins
In 8th grade, Sneh learned her first asanas to the beat of drums.
Sanskrit
A language as a practice
She went on to advanced Sanskrit studies and earned a proficiency certificate from Samskrit Bharati and Kavikulaguru Kalidas Sanskrit University in Nagpur.
Many paths, then Ashtanga
Ashtanga captures her heart
She explored Hatha, Yin Yang and Pilates before Ashtanga “truly captivated my heart and soul.” She studied with Sh. Praveen Somu in Mysore and with Km. Sonal Sharma and Sh. Sandeep Sharma in Pune.
Practice as healing
Working with her own body
Through disciplined Ashtanga she worked through her own back pain, vertigo and injuries, treating the mind as an object and the body as a subject.

I took the trial class offered by Ashtanga Yoga Education late last year, and it was a fantastic experience. Sneh Lata was incredibly attentive, carefully observing my strengths and areas for improvement throughout the session. Despite being virtual, she provided detailed feedback on my poses and suggested corrections that made a real difference. I truly enjoyed the session and would highly recommend these classes!
