What Our Students Say
Aleena Mackar, Pune
“I absolutely love the atmosphere in the studio and ma’am is quite relaxed and fun while she is absolutely full of knowledge about the mind and the body.
I’ve done aerial yoga at the studio as well and absolutely loved it. I even had my wellness coaching done with Shama.
Whatever be your age if you seek a more meaningful existence and a healthy body get into yoga. And for the young and dynamic who especially want something unique, take my word and try aerial yoga.”

“My experience has been nothing short of transformative. I was captivated by Samsara’s serene and inviting atmosphere. The space was thoughtfully designed, the peaceful ambience, coupled with the well-equipped facilities, created an ideal environment for practicing yoga.
Shama’s expertise and passion for yoga has shone through in every class. Her depth of knowledge and understanding of various yoga styles and techniques is truly impressive.”
Vishnu Gur, Toronto
“Shama teaches all aspects of Yoga and Dhyana from her own experiences at the deepest possible layers of her being, rather than just theory from the pages of Yoga books.
With the help of Vikas, the extremely accomplished Spiritual Coach, Meditation and Mind Management Maestro, I have been able to dive deep into the thus far untouched recesses of my mind.”
Dr. Priya Rajadhyaksha, Pune
“I had joined for medical yoga as I had a problem with my cervical spine-spondylitis. I did one month of therapy and I was relieved of my chronic pain and tingling numbness.
I have seen patients with neurological problems coming and also how quickly they recover with yoga therapy at Samsara. The antenatal yoga batch is conducted here with personal attention. The yoga batch is also conducted with personal attention. It is a pleasure to attend Shama’s yoga class.”
Zahabia, Pune
“My experience with Samsara has not only been wonderful but heartwarming too. I did prenatal yoga for both my kids. I started at 5th month until the very last day before delivery!
They not only give you physical relaxation but also make sure you have mental peace! Supported squats, candle-lit meditation, pelvic floor exercises, etc. All were done under supervision with consideration of minute details.”
Asha Agarwal, Pune
“Samsara saved me from an almost debilitating knee issue. I was suffering from an unstable knee for about 6 months when I joined the medical yoga sessions.
In just 2 months they corrected my knee alignment and posture with ropes, belts, and exercises. I am forever grateful to Shama and Neelu for giving me my mobility back. Now I can enjoy walking, swimming, and I can even dance again.”
Simran Milaney, Pune
“I was a shy introvert who would run miles away from anything to do with crowds, but this course really challenged me since it required me to be in charge of a group of people.
Yoga has changed my life for the better in terms of physical and mental health and how I used to see the world and people. Shama ma’am is my mentor who has inspired and pushed me in giving my best in everything I’m doing.”
Vidisha Kamat, Pune
“I have been doing yoga for 2 years now, but never experienced anything like this. Shama ma’am not just helps you with yoga, but also gives you the reason behind every yoga pose and why it’s so useful. Shama ma’am’s classes feel like therapy!
Yoga teachers trained under her are also very skilled. Simran’s classes have really helped me push myself out of my comfort zone. She always has some different routine planned for every class.”
Samit Vartak, Pune
“The Meditation and Mind Training Course has helped me in dealing with the ups and downs of my life much better. I went through a very stressful period over the last 2-3 years and it forced me to think deeper.
I have been spiritual since my childhood, but was confused about various beliefs regarding God, prayers, effects of Karma, etc. This course helped me clear a lot of confusion and questions I had before. Thank you Vikas for patiently answering all my questions.”
Prerna Saraf, Pune
“I had joined the Meditation and Mind Training Course at the lowest point in my life. This course was a blessing in my life. I learned a lot about life and how to see life in different ways.
I do feel upset, sad and negative a lot of times but this course taught me how to deal with it at that point rather than going in a negative spiral for days. Thank you Vikas for teaching us with so much patience and care.”
Shweta Gupta, Pune
“I simply love the ambience and the positive energy that the place emits. All my family members have enjoyed offerings in this yoga house.
My mother-in-law has gained tremendously with her back and knee ailment and this is the first time in many years that I see her leveraging natural remedies and power of medicinal yoga over English medication. We have done multiple meditation workshops conducted by Vikas.”
Akash Satane, Khopoli
“I was amazed with Shama’s energy and passion at this age. She has deep knowledge about cellular nutrition and the way she explained to me about my body, no doctor had ever done even 1% of it.
She cares about whether a suggestion she has given works for me, and is great at pivoting to what our body needs in terms of nutrition, diet, exercise, meditation and yoga. My body feels way better now and my energy level is consistent throughout.”
Aliya Roowalla, Pune
“When the student is ready the teacher appears”. That is exactly how I felt when I met Shama. She is a warm, patient, kind and dedicated teacher.
The program is so well made, that one leaves Samsara totally confident to spread Yoga in the correct way to any part of the world. I have learnt to be a confident teacher, and am comfortable to take classes as her guidance has strengthened my teaching skills. Yoga as a science has changed my life.”
Sunita Biswas, Pune
“I am 70 and was looking for yoga class near my residence. After browsing through Google l came across Samsara yoga institute.
Met Shama mam who is an excellent person and teacher.I joined the class, it’s been just a month but I feel much fresher.

Khushboo Sharma, Pune
“It has been more than a year since I first crossed paths with Shama mam, commencing my profound yoga odyssey at Samsara The Yoga Studio. As I look back on this period, I can unequivocally express my deep appreciation for the decision I made.
The yoga course went above and beyond my every expectation, thanks to the exceptional knowledge and unwavering dedication of our revered instructors, Shama Mam and Vikas sir. The serene and welcoming atmosphere of the studio added to the overall experience, resulting in a truly transformative journey. Allow me to elaborate on why I wholeheartedly recommend this outstanding yoga studio:
1. Guru: It’s challenging to find the right words to describe Shama mam adequately. Her expertise in various yoga practices is truly remarkable, and her passion for imparting knowledge and fostering student growth is evident in every session. Shama mam goes above and beyond to ensure that we grasp the authentic essence of yoga. Her ability to cultivate a nurturing and encouraging environment benefits beginners like myself, making us feel at ease and motivated.
2. Diverse Range of Classes: The course provided an extensive array of subjects, spanning from gentle and restorative yoga to invigorating vinyasa yoga sessions. It delved deep into the foundations of yoga by exploring its rich historical background. The inclusion of Bhagavad Gita lectures added an unforgettable dimension of self-realization to the experience.
This course stands out for its in-depth exploration of the science underlying physical and psychological issues, demonstrating how straightforward yogic practices can offer highly effective solutions. It’s a holistic journey encompassing the body, mind, and beyond. I acquired the art of finding balance and mindfulness, which has left a profound impact on my daily life.
3. Personalized Attention: Despite having a full class, Shama mam managed to provide personalized attention and adjustments, ensuring that I was practising safely and effectively. This level of personalized care made me feel valued as a student.
4. Peaceful Environment: The studio itself was an oasis of tranquillity. The calming ambience enhanced the overall experience. It truly felt like a sanctuary where I could escape the stresses of daily life.
5. Enhanced Well-being: Throughout the program’s duration, I observed substantial enhancements in my overall health. My stress levels diminished, and my mental clarity significantly improved. Additionally, I benefited from a nutrition session led by Shama Mam, focusing on supplements and liver detox, which resulted in remarkable improvements in my fitness
6. Life-Changing Experience: This yoga course has been a truly life-changing experience for me. It’s not just about exercise; it’s about self-discovery, personal growth, and inner peace.
In conclusion, I can’t speak highly enough about Samsara The Yoga Studio. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yogi, this studio has something to offer for everyone. It has left a lasting, positive impact on my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a holistic approach to health and well-being through the practice of yoga. Namaste!”
Mira Dalvi, Pune
“Shama is one of the best teachers I’ve come across. The passion to educate the class about yoga and its benefits is immense. I also consulted her for certain health issues and the session was more educative than all the doctors I’ve been to over the years. Try the class and you will not leave disappointed! Apt for all ages! Unfortunately, I don’t go as often as I should 😄 It’s a perfect 10!”
Ritu Hotwani (Zeesha’s mom), Pune
“I am glad to enroll my 12 year old daughter at Samsara yoga studio for aerial yoga.. She enjoys each session here as it has given her personality a new level of confidence. It has helped her achieve a good posture and also improved her concentration due to pranayam. Trainers at Samsara yoga studio are very kind and co-operative.
Thank you Shama ma’am for your guidance..”
Dr. Priya Rajadhyaksha, Pune
“My experience with Samsara The Yoga Studio was awesome. Shama and her team are experts in yoga. The studio gives you positive vibes, it is clean, well ventilated and spacious.

I have seen patients with neurological problems coming and also how quickly they recover with yoga therapy at Samsara.
The antenatal yoga batch is also conducted here with personal attention. The yoga batch is also conducted with personal attention. It is a pleasure to attend Shama’s yoga class. Everyone here are vibrant and polite. Shama is a very good teacher and also a friend. Please visit the studio to get convinced.”
Aleena Mackar, Pune
“The best way for me to recommend this place to people is to ask them to come experience it themselves.
My first time ever doing yoga properly and at a studio. The studio is equipped with props which is one of the highlights for me, don’t ask me the type of yoga because that’s not even what Shama ma’am believes in, it’s more of a holistic approach (but yes the forms are mainly Hatha Yoga & Ashtanga Yoga! Infact she even does clinical yoga.
I’ve done aerial yoga at the studio as well and absolutely loved it. The studio is located in a bungalow so the surroundings are pretty serene.
I even had my wellness coaching done with Shama. Basically once you go to the studio there is so much to learn and amazing how much more we start respecting our bodies.
I absolutely love the atmosphere in the studio and ma’am is quite relaxed and fun while she is absolutely full of knowledge about the mind and the body.
Speaking of the workout perspective it’s a one hour session which mostly get extended to an hour and fifteen which shows that it isn’t just a time bound thing. Done, out and leave. Shama is ever ready to help you and is a great guide if you wish to learn yoga and seek a Guru.
I cannot imagine my week without my yoga sessions. And whatever be your age if you seek a more meaningful existence and a healthy body to live in get into yoga. And for the young and dynamic who especially want something unique take my word and try aerial yoga.”

“I had joined the Meditation and Mind Training Course at the lowest point in my life. This course was a blessing in my life.
I learned a lot about life and how to see life in different ways and manners. Nothing is really right or wrong. It is how we see it. The fact that we should accept our emotions and be aware of it is one of the main teachings I learnt from the course.
The breathing techniques which were taught was really helpful in calming my mind even in the darkest hours.
I do feel upset, sad and negative a lot of times but this course taught me how to deal with them at that point rather than going in a negative spiral for days. Thank you Vikas for giving us so much knowledge and teaching us with so much patience and care.”
Vidha Kedari, Pune
“I joined Samsara for my prenatal exercises and I am so happy that I choose it. A healthy person doesn’t mean only having a healthy body it is about a healthy mind, healthy soul and health thought and it becomes more important when a life is developing inside you. I had a very smooth pregnancy, no morning sickness, minimum mood swings and fully active till the day I delivered my princess.
A BIG BIG thanks to Shama. Shama is a person who fills you with all positive energies, she takes extra effort for each and everyone, she is ok if you are not able to do anything but if you are doing she will make sure you do it in a correct way. The studio is very calm and soothing you feel the good aura around. I recommend Samsara to everyone.”
