  • Was my first time experience in any Yoga class. Was hesitant initially but am loving it now. The sessions are so energetic that the moment Sandeep starts, you get infected with the energy and get started in no time, leaving all your aspersions and hesitations aside. Try once and you will it to be continuing for a long period of time. High five to Sandeep!
