Spanda Nanda

I view teaching yoga as service, drawing on 20 years as a student of an awakened master to enrich my hatha yoga classes. This auspicious meeting in 1998 kick started a life-long journey in the practices of meditation, mantra, karma yoga and self-inquiry. I began formally teaching yoga in 2002.
I was certified as an Anusara® yoga teacher in 2009, becoming the first certified teacher in Asia. Anusara® is a principle-centered, alignment-based yoga school, which at the time had one of the most rigorous certification processes in the industry. Even though I now teach in my own intuitive way, including drawing from my lifelong love of martial arts, I still use Anusara’s® highly effective alignment principles. My classes are also influenced by Tony Briggs, a senior Iyengar teacher from the San Francisco Bay area, with whom I have studied and apprenticed in-depth. In addition, I am a Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500 credentialed teacher.
