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.”

“My experience at Samsara was extremely nourishing mentally as well as physically, what I understand is yoga is all about going Inwards, I was in pain last year, when I joined Samsara, Shama Ma’am and her entire team helped me overcome my Sciatica pain, I am glad this year I am free from it completely. I can’t thank Shama Ma’am enough, I am now able to do other activities without any difficulties.”
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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

Uttara Joshi, Pune
“In my very first class at Samsara 10 months ago, that was focused on spine work, I vividly remember experiencing the energy body as a part of the yoga practice. It was something I hadn’t experienced before and in that moment I knew this is the right place for me to formally learn about Yoga and related nuggets about spirituality.
One of the standout aspects is the sense of community within the studio.”

“When i joined Samsara, i was just coming out of a year of health issues that had left me feeling quite weak and under confident.
My first interaction with Shama ma’am was a relief because I could tell she understood the human anatomy more than other yoga teachers i had interacted with previously; she understood my condition and was able to guide accordingly. i feel a lot more confident, strong, and comfortable with my body now.”

“Shama’s classes are challenging, yet accessible to all levels. She expertly blends physical postures, breathwork, and meditation to create a complete practice that leaves me feeling both energized and deeply relaxed. I always leave her classes feeling like I’ve learned something new about myself and my practice.
She goes above and beyond to create a welcoming and inclusive community at Samsara, fostering a sense of connection and support among practitioners.”

“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.”

“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.”

“In my very first interaction with Shama Ma’am, I understood the gap I have in my Yoga learning, and I have found the right guide to close this gap. She is always there to answer the queries or to repeat the concepts.
I also got a very good understanding of nutrition and benefits of supplements. These changes have shown improvements in my health. This course has further helped me to look at life from a completely different perspective.”

“After just a month of regular practice at Samsara The Yoga Studio my admiration for both yoga and the studio, has only grown.
All the instructors are kind, supportive and willing to meet you wherever you are in your own yoga journey and help guide you to be better. I have been able to push myself and simultaneously find a sense of peace while thoroughly enjoying the process.”

“My parents go to samsara for medical yoga (A personalised yoga routine for each individual based on knee, shoulder, ankle, etc problems). Their x-Rays were taken and studied by a doctor in samsara (A visiting faculty) based on which the routine was decided.
Within a month of joining their joint and shoulder pains have vanished, which they were suffering from since years.”

“This happens to be the only yoga studio that I have come across that teaches holistic methods. You will learn how to take care of your body as well as mind and also learn to live life healthier.
After my major health concern with thyroid and weight gain, I had an extensive session that Shama ma’am which gave me insights about my body. With the recommended supplements and lifestyle changes, there has been a rather amazing improvement overall.”

“For me this is a whole package of well being. I like the way in which Shama walks us through our paces, muscle by muscle, joint by joint. My husband Rajiv, jokes he has become aware of his body like never before.
Shama’s perseverance, her dedication and her unflagging spirit will take her far on this journey. Success is going to be a natural fall out of her passion!”

“I`ve done yoga in the past but didn`t realize what a difference a good trainer can make. Shama has a pool of knowledge and every session with her is interesting and challenging.
I love the fact that she breaks down all the asanas in steps and advises it as per my comfort level and at the same time making sure I get maximum benefit from it.”

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.”

“I joined Samsara for my prenatal exercises and I am so happy that I chose it. A healthy person doesn’t mean only having a healthy body it is about a healthy mind, healthy soul and healthy 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.”

“I visited Samsara because of a back pain issue. Their approach is very scientific and systematic, right from first understanding the real issue with medical history, blood report, X-ray etc.
The treatment was very well designed with a mix of medical yoga and postures to slowly get the muscles back to normal and then focussing on achieving flexibility and strength. There is a dramatic improvement within 3 months. Overall a great experience. Thanks a lot Shama and team!”

“I was diagnosed with a frozen shoulder and could not lift my left hand. I was advised to go for physiotherapy for which I consulted Shama at Samsara The Yoga Studio.
I completed three months of medical yoga at Samsara under the able guidance of Shama. There was improvement of my hand movement and now I am almost near to the original condition. Thanks to Shama and her team for their keen interest in making this happen.”

“What I love about Shama Ma’am is her energy, her passion, and her deep knowledge on how body works. She explained to me about my body issues, nutrition deficiencies and what exactly my body needs, so well that it made me realise the lifestyle mistakes I have been doing.
She makes it simple yet interesting. So if you are looking to give your lifestyle a correct new way, you know where to go! ❤ “

“I have been with Shama for a very long time . She has introduced me to holistic healing. I was suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis and she has drastically reduced my flare ups by putting me on different vitamins which were deficient in my body. I have been taking these and my vitals are so much better now.
I would strongly suggest anyone with issues in their body to seek her expert advice. Thank you Shama for sharing your expertise with the world.”

“I had lots of pain in my knee and back and I was not able to walk or climb staircases. I was told by doctors to take injections for my knee problem otherwise I will not be able to walk.
Last year after joining Samsara, it took about six months of Medical Yoga Therapy and my knee and back pain vanished. I am very happy after joining the studio and I feel everybody should do Yoga.”

“I had multiple problems when i came to Samsara. I started with medical yoga and it truly cured me not only body wise but also at a mental level. The approach is extremely positive and not only structured towards your body but also your mind and soul.

“My condition was really bad earlier. I was not able to have fruits or vegetables and sprouted moong at all. I used to have inflammation in the stomach and sometimes I used to pass blood in the stools.
Now once I started the supplements and walk, I’m feeling much much better. It’s like I’m back to my normal life. I have everything except the red and green chillies, and dairy foods. Now, I live my life to the fullest. Thank you so much.”

“I have gained a lot from the theoretical and practical sessions in the Meditation and Mind Training course. I understood that there was need to unlearn certain irrational beliefs and replace them with rational ideas to deal with the root causes of my emotional problems.
Problematic situations in life still exist and will stay with me as long as I am interacting with the world around me, but now l am able to replace my mind talk with my intellectual reasoning and handle them with ease.”

“Meditation and Mind Training is a programme gently mentored and steered by Vikas Rana. The advent of pandemic and the dystopian times we live in, mental wellbeing has become imperative. Vikas’s programme addresses it beautifully.
Internalisation aided by the real life discussions of the participants makes the experience extremely meaningful and grounding. People new to meditation shall find the group meditations a good place to start this journey. Highly recommended.”

“I have attended meditation classes with Vikas for over a year. He is a very wise guide and helps people find their own path rather than give advice. Along with that, he is a great listener. I experienced a lot of progress on the spiritual and emotional front, due to being regular in my practice with Vikas’s support.
His words and insights are the basis of a lot of my decisions. Thanks Vikas.”

“After just a month of regular practice at Samsara The Yoga Studio my admiration for both yoga and the studio, has only grown.
All the instructors are kind, supportive and willing to meet you wherever you are in your own yoga journey and help guide you to be better. I have been able to push myself and simultaneously find a sense of peace while thoroughly enjoying the process.”

“My parents go to samsara for medical yoga (A personalised yoga routine for each individual based on knee, shoulder, ankle, etc problems). Their x-Rays were taken and studied by a doctor in samsara (A visiting faculty) based on which the routine was decided.
Within a month of joining their joint and shoulder pains have vanished, which they were suffering from since years.”

“This happens to be the only yoga studio that I have come across that teaches holistic methods. You will learn how to take care of your body as well as mind and also learn to live life healthier.
After my major health concern with thyroid and weight gain, I had an extensive session that Shama ma’am which gave me insights about my body. With the recommended supplements and lifestyle changes, there has been a rather amazing improvement overall.”

“For me this is a whole package of well being. I like the way in which Shama walks us through our paces, muscle by muscle, joint by joint. My husband Rajiv, jokes he has become aware of his body like never before.
Shama’s perseverance, her dedication and her unflagging spirit will take her far on this journey. Success is going to be a natural fall out of her passion!”

“I`ve done yoga in the past but didn`t realize what a difference a good trainer can make. Shama has a pool of knowledge and every session with her is interesting and challenging.
I love the fact that she breaks down all the asanas in steps and advises it as per my comfort level and at the same time making sure I get maximum benefit from it.”

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.”

“I joined Samsara for my prenatal exercises and I am so happy that I chose it. A healthy person doesn’t mean only having a healthy body it is about a healthy mind, healthy soul and healthy 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.”

“I visited Samsara because of a back pain issue. Their approach is very scientific and systematic, right from first understanding the real issue with medical history, blood report, X-ray etc.
The treatment was very well designed with a mix of medical yoga and postures to slowly get the muscles back to normal and then focussing on achieving flexibility and strength. There is a dramatic improvement within 3 months. Overall a great experience. Thanks a lot Shama and team!”

“What I love about Shama Ma’am is her energy, her passion, and her deep knowledge on how body works. She explained to me about my body issues, nutrition deficiencies and what exactly my body needs, so well that it made me realise the lifestyle mistakes I have been doing.
She makes it simple yet interesting. So if you are looking to give your lifestyle a correct new way, you know where to go! ❤ “

“I have been with Shama for a very long time . She has introduced me to holistic healing. I was suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis and she has drastically reduced my flare ups by putting me on different vitamins which were deficient in my body. I have been taking these and my vitals are so much better now.
I would strongly suggest anyone with issues in their body to seek her expert advice. Thank you Shama for sharing your expertise with the world”

“I had lots of pain in my knee and back and I was not able to walk or climb staircases. I was told by doctors to take injections for my knee problem otherwise I will not be able to walk.
Last year after joining Samsara, it took about six months of Medical Yoga Therapy and my knee and back pain vanished. I am very happy after joining the studio and I feel everybody should do Yoga.”

The yoga classes are extremely fun and refreshing. Unlike other monotonous yoga classes, Samsara tries different techniques everyday catering to every muscle, every tissue of your body. I am extremely happy with the results.”

“My condition was really bad earlier. I was not able to have fruits or vegetables and sprouted moong at all. I used to have inflammation in the stomach and sometimes I used to pass blood in the stools.
Now once I started the supplements and walk, I’m feeling much much better. It’s like I’m back to my normal life. I have everything except the red and green chillies, and dairy foods. Now, I live my life to the fullest. Thank you so much.”

“I have gained a lot from the theoretical and practical sessions in the Meditation and Mind Training course. I understood that there was need to unlearn certain irrational beliefs and replace them with rational ideas to deal with the root causes of my emotional problems.
Problematic situations in life still exist and will stay with me as long as I am interacting with the world around me, but now l am able to replace my mind talk with my intellectual reasoning and handle them with ease.”

“Meditation and Mind Training is a programme gently mentored and steered by Vikas Rana. The advent of pandemic and the dystopian times we live in, mental wellbeing has become imperative. Vikas’s programme addresses it beautifully.
Internalisation aided by the real life discussions of the participants makes the experience extremely meaningful and grounding. People new to meditation shall find the group meditations a good place to start this journey. Highly recommended.”

“I have attended meditation classes with Vikas for over a year. He is a very wise guide and helps people find their own path rather than give advice. Along with that, he is a great listener.

His words and insights are the basis of a lot of my decisions. Thanks Vikas.”

“I was encouraged to gain my own insights through experiential learning and delve into the intricacies of yoga at my own pace.
Shama combines scientific teachings like anatomy and physiology with the practice of yoga asanas to give an in-depth understanding of the benefits of each asana.
The studio also has a very calming vibe and is well equipped.”

“My decision to do the RYT 200 Teacher Training Course with Shama Rana was one of the best choices I’ve made for myself. I had moved to Canada in the beginning of the pandemic and was looking to use my time wisely while I was home with my 3-year-old daughter. Though I did not have a firm intention to become a Yoga teacher when I signed up for this program, Shama inspired me to break out of my shell and to potentially teach one day!
Shama, the owner and founder of Samsara – The Yoga Studio (RYS 200) and the teacher for this program, was approachable, dedicated, knowledgeable and very attentive to my needs throughout the program. She provided detailed instructions during Asana practice and instilled in me an appreciation for life. I was awed every day studying the intricacies of the human body and was drawn by her immense knowledge of the human being as a whole and the nature of the mind, Manas, Buddhi, Ahankar, chitta.
The program was very thorough and well organized. In spite of being online, it was an enjoyable interaction!
It included a great variety of topics like ‘The History and philosophy of yoga’, ‘Anatomy’, ‘The in-depth study of Asanas’ (physical poses), ‘Restorative yoga’, ‘Meditation’, ‘Pranayama’, ‘Chakras’, and much more… Although I did miss the in-studio practice and social interaction as it was for most of us during that time, the online training allowed me to be more independent and complete the course at my own pace, giving me time to Integrate Yoga into Life Beyond the Studio. Shama doesn’t believe in spoon-feeding and encourages you to be responsible for your own learning, which I respect immensely.
‘Samsara’ has a great community, and it has been wonderful to connect with the other members online.
For anyone looking to become a Yoga teacher, I highly recommend the Teacher training program at Samsara -The Yoga Studio, as this undoubtedly is one of the finest and profound training programs out there in Pune.”

“My experience at Samsara was extremely nourishing mentally as well as physically, what I understand is yoga is all about going Inwards, I was in pain last year, when I joined samsara Shama Ma’am and her entire team helped me overcome my Sciatica pain, I am glad this year I am free from it completely. I can’t thank Shama Ma’am enough, I am now able to do other activities without any difficulties.”

“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.”

“My husband and I attended Vikas’s Meditation and Mind Training Course. Various different concepts and systems were introduced not only related to Meditation and spirituality but also to mind and body. We were introduced to breathing techniques, Nadis and Chakras. We were also guided on how these techniques can be practically used in everyday life for mind and body healing. It was a holistic learning and we enjoyed it.”

Review of the Meditation & Mind Training Course
“By far the most important take-away from Vikas’s Meditation & Mind Training Course is not just the understanding but the implementation of Life Sutras in real, day to day life. Vikas very enthusiastically shares the treasure trove of his knowledge that flows into the disciple’s mind as not only his experience but as self-realized wisdom of scriptures and sages of India.
What distinguishes Vikas from other masters is his ability to provide the scientific perspective for each and every spiritual principle.
From the basics of meditation for the beginners to an advanced level of dissolution, all steps were not only explained theoretically but practically transmitted into the psyche of the class.
Vikas shed light on Samkhya – Yog, the essence of Vedas and Upanishads, the Ashtavakra Gita, Advaita Vedanta, Atman-Brahman as well as the Chitta and Chittavrittis that shape our lives.
As the author of ‘Stress Free Mind Distress Free Body’, I am especially impressed with the way Vikas dissected stress management. Each and every cause of stress was discussed in all departments of life – from relationships to career and from anxiety and depression to anger – nothing was left untouched.
Having said all that, the highlight of the course was the class meditation that at times really took me to a higher realm. This course has inculcated the habit of daily meditation in me and I can already see the benefits. I enjoy the silence, the solitude and generally the state of being in the now – the only moment we ever have. I am now working toward merging into the collective consciousness.
I shall whole-heartedly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn mind control and advance the meditation to the next level, excel in relationships, spread love or inspire others to take this spiritual path of Self-realization.”

“To me, yoga was just a way to keep fit until now! I’ve realized how much more it has to offer. The whole journey at the Samsara The Yoga Studio has been an immense success since I’m extremely delighted by the way I’ve understood my body-mind. The mental, emotional and physical stability this course has provided me in the past 4 months is immaculate. I can barely see the old me and I can’t get over this new, informed rather more evolved me.
Completing the RYT200 course was a tough journey but yoga has so much more to it and I can’t wait to explore. I am incredibly grateful to my guru, Shama Rana for transferring this knowledge to me and enlightening me at such a peak time of my life.
At The Samsara yoga studio, the overall ambience is what helps you grow into a new and aware individual. Being a stiff, slightly chubby person achieving the bodily targets was a bit difficult, but the support and attention I’ve got from my guru have helped me through this journey of mine.
Well, now I can see how my body can adapt to different asanas, how dynamic my mind has become and how passionate I am about this art.
I have gained knowledge that has unfolded parts of me that were very long lost and I’m glad I opted for this experience that is full of wisdom.”

Review of the RYT 200 Teacher Training Course
“I had initially joined the studio as a yoga client because I needed some physical exercise without having any intention of doing the course or much of an interest towards yoga even. After just a month of learning with Shama ma’am, I was so intrigued and wanted to learn more about it so I decided to do the course.
As soon as I started, I was genuinely surprised about the things I didn’t know about my own body and the way Shama ma’am explains everything in detail with scientific explanation makes things much easier to grasp. She encouraged me to be the best version of myself and her being my teacher has made a major change in my personality. She is my mentor because I’ve not had anyone like her who has inspired and pushed me in giving my best in everything I’m doing.
I was a shy introvert who would run miles away from anything to do with crowd 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. It involves a lot off-the-mat too since it’s a lifestyle you follow of compassion, friendliness and being aware of what you are. I would recommend to anyone who’s wanting to learn yoga, don’t wait and start now because when you do things for yourself and see your life and your ways changing, it’ll give a sense of satisfaction and achievement that nothing else can.

“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.“
Uttara Joshi, Pune
“I have been attending yoga classes at Samsara for almost 10 months now and I am extremely satisfied with the experience.
I remember my first class at Samsara, it happened to be a class focused on spine work and i vividly remember experiencing the energy body as a part of the yoga practice. It was something I hadn’t experienced before and in that moment I knew this is the right place for me to formally learn about Yoga and related nuggets about spirituality.
Shama ma’am’s classes are always interesting because you would never ever find the routine to be repetitive. There is always something new that she brings in for us!
Ma’am is highly knowledgeable and approachable. At Samsara, they cater to all levels of experience, ensuring that both beginners and advanced practitioners feel comfortable and challenged. Each session is thoughtfully planned, incorporating breathwork, mindfulness, and physical postures in a balanced manner.
I appreciate the detailed guidance and adjustments provided during the classes, which helps us improve our technique.
One of the standout aspects is the sense of community within the studio. The instructors foster a supportive and inclusive environment, encouraging students to connect with one another and share their yoga journeys.
Overall, Samsara is your place to go! Whether you’re looking to start a new yoga practice or deepen an existing one, I highly recommend their classes. It’s a wonderful place to find tranquility and improve your well-being.”

“In my quest to find the best yoga class, I stumbled upon The Samsara Yoga studio and I must say it’s the best thing that has happened to me. My first interaction with Shama mam was over a zoom call and I must say I was convinced that I have found my guru for life and thats when I decided to enroll for the RYT200 course.
This is not your regular yoga syllabus, she will actually teach you to integrate your body and mind at a deeper level and help you find the true meaning of “I” or “SELF”. Topics like philosophy of Yoga, anatomy, asanas, breathwork, meditation, restorative yoga etc are all part of the syllabus. She went through most of the topics over and over again till I understood the concepts crisp and clear.
Also the reason I call her “My Guru” is she doesn’t believe in spoon feeding and not to forget this is is the only studio that allows its trainees to take as many as classes till the time they feel confident and independent enough to run their own show.
Every word she speaks shows her dedication, passion and love towards what she does!! She has a very strong aura that can make you feel calm the moment you meet her.
I have decided to stick to her for a brief period and I have now enrolled for the medical yoga course too.
Her knowledge and expertise has no par.
Anybody who wants to learn about body and mind at a deep level, look no further this is your place.

Topics like philosophy of Yoga, anatomy, asanas, breathwork, meditation, restorative yoga etc are all part of the syllabus. She went through most of the topics over and over again till I understood the concepts crisp and clear.
Also the reason I call her “My Guru” is she doesn’t believe in spoon feeding and not to forget this is is the only studio that allows its trainees to take as many as classes till the time they feel confident and independent enough to run their own show.
Every word she speaks shows her dedication, passion and love towards what she does!! She has a very strong aura that can make you feel calm the moment you meet her.
I have decided to stick to her for a brief period and I have now enrolled for the medical yoga course too.
Her knowledge and expertise has no par.
Anybody who wants to learn about body and mind at a deep level, look no further this is your place.

“I am a professionally qualified mechanical engineer having a core technical experience of 15 years in the industry. The ongoing corona pandemic led me to leave my corporate job and search for an opportunity more commensurate with my temperament. Thus, I decided to translate my passion for yoga practice to become an instructor with an endeavour of instilling wellness into people’s lifestyles through a combination of yogic postures (asanas) and pranayam.
In my quest for a professional yoga teacher certification, I got Shama madam’s reference through my sister who is an old friend of hers. I joined the RYT 200 course with the expectation of bolstering my existing knowledge of yogasanas and their teaching methods. But this course and more than that, Shama madam’s mentorship has definitely exceeded my expectations and taken my knowledge and skill to an entirely new level. The most important aspect which I realized was that yoga is less about asanas and pranayam and more about the cessation of mental modifications. Shama’s passion and dedication for yoga is most infectious. She’s definitely the best teacher I’ve been taught by and I consider myself fortunate to do so at a vital juncture of my life.
The best thing about Shama is the way she develops a personal bond with all her students and allows them to nurture their love for this subject. This approach helped me in establishing an analogy between the human anatomy and mechanisms which I could leverage to develop insight about the role played by various muscle groups in performing different asanas. To top it all, Samsara is a fantastic yoga studio to learn and practise as this place is equipped with all the props needed to perform different yoga styles. Overall, I’ve had an enlightening and enriching experience of doing the RYT 200 course at Samsara.
I’d strongly recommend Samsara to anyone desirous of inculcating yoga in their lives.”

“I am lucky that I chose Samsara The Yoga Studio. I have been having neck cervical problem but with the help yoga postsures, which shama makes us do, its a great relief now. Keep going shama..You are doing great!”
Eesha Sabarwal, Pune
“I recently discovered Samsara The Yoga Studio and it has quickly become my new favorite place to practice. The studio is spacious, calming, and beautifully designed, creating the perfect environment for a peaceful yoga experience. But what truly sets Samsara apart is its founder, Shama. Her passion for yoga and holistic wellness shines through in every class she teaches. She has a unique ability to make each student feel seen, heard, and supported on their individual journey.
Shama’s classes are challenging, yet accessible to all levels. She expertly blends physical postures, breathwork, and meditation to create a complete practice that leaves me feeling both energized and deeply relaxed. I always leave her classes feeling like I’ve learned something new about myself and my practice.
In addition to her skilled teaching, Shama is a warm and approachable individual who truly cares about her students. She goes above and beyond to create a welcoming and inclusive community at Samsara, fostering a sense of connection and support among practitioners.
Overall, I highly recommend Samsara The Yoga Studio and Shama as a teacher. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or a beginner, you will find a supportive and uplifting environment at this studio. I can’t wait to continue my journey at Samsara and see where my practice takes me under Shama’s guidance.”

“I am glad I joined the meditation class. Vikas’s skillful teaching and techniques took my meditation experience to a higher level. Talking about our life coaching sessions, they gave me an optimistic approach in my low time.
His way of teaching is so non-judgmental that it gave me freedom to share my thoughts of my transition in spiritual and real life. I got a coach for a lifetime :)”

“This happens to be the only yoga studio that I have come across that teaches holistic methods. You will learn how to take care of your body as well as the mind and also learn to live life healthier.
Shama ma’am is an excellent coach/guru who will guide you well into yoga and meditation.
After my major health concern with thyroid and weight gain, there was an extensive detailed session that Shama ma’am conducted which gave me insights about my body. With the recommended supplements and lifestyle changes, there has been a rather amazing improvement overall. Highly recommended!”

“I am Shanta Nagabhushan, 56 yrs of age and have an experience of 20+ years in the education field. I started my association with Samsara Yoga and Shama Rana two years back when I decided to join for Medical Yoga Certificate Course after my basic TTC , so that I could do some more indepth learning of yoga.
With Shama I learnt the real meaning of yog. The course is extensive with in-depth learning of human body, physical, subtle and beyond. Shama is a guide in the real sense, very knowledgable, patient, flexible yet strict, focussing and correcting us till the last muscle.
She is a master in perfecting every asana, postural corrections, and the know-how of every asana that can make a big difference. Always ready to give us individual attention and time to answer our queries, big or small. She is ever enthusiastic to discuss higher-order topics and clear our doubts.
Every time I have a discussion with her, I get a different perspective of life. It has been a wonderful journey being associated with her and hope to continue to learn and grow with her for a good time to come.”

“During my Yoga Teacher Training Course, Vikas had given some lectures on yoga philosophy which were outstanding. He is one of the best yoga philosophy teachers whom I came across. His in-depth knowledge of the subject is visible in his lectures.
Other than philosophy, I also got to know about many theories on human behavior which helped me better understand human nature. Understanding these things helped me in my day-to-day life and have helped me to become a better person. I am looking forward to attending life coaching sessions with him.”

“I had attended Vikas’s meditation sessions and they were wonderful.
First of all I would like to mention that the environment in Samsara is very serene and blissful.
Vikas is very knowledgeable and well read. He taught us to look within with the help of meditation. This ability teaches us how to deal with life. Introspection is an amazing art that I learnt here. Thank you so much Vikas. Meditation helps me to listen to the divine within me.”

Devvyaa, Pune
“Samsara The Yoga Studio is the best class for yoga. Shama Mam takes time to understand our body requirements and helps us in teaching the asanas that treat our problems. She explains how each asana takes care of a particular issue. Knowing the theory behind the exercise ensures that you can customize your routine in later stages. She also has great knowledge regarding diet, body and supplements, besides yoga, provides good guidance.”
Shraddha Tank, Pune
“I`ve done yoga in the past but didn`t realize what a difference a good trainer can make. Shama has a pool of knowledge and every session with her is interesting and challenging. I love the fact that she breaks down all the asanas in steps and advises it as per my comfort level and at the same time making sure I get maximum benefit from it.
Very sincere, caring and friendly coach and a wonderful person as well. Stretches you beyond your body’s limits, phase by phase, keeping in mind every individual’s capacity, strengths and weaknesses. I would definitely recommend her classes. Thank you so much Shama Rana!!!”

“Shama Rana has picked up an ideal location for Samsara – the Yoga Studio. It is fortunate when we can have a such a wide open, looking out to a jungle space to practice yoga in urban settings. I simply love the ambience and the positive energy that the place emits.
Shama is extremely passionate about people’s well-being and is always sharing valuable information with everyone that touches her life. You would be delighted to find a friend in her, and as a student of yoga, I believe it is important to form that trust.
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 Rana.”

Shama, the instructor is a very friendly and caring person. She makes sure everyone attending the classes is comfortable with each other and maintains a very fun filled environment. Highly recommended to everyone.”
Karuna Bhatia, Pune
“It’s not a studio but a temple for me. I feel so peaceful the moment I step in, such is the vibe of the place. Many thanks to the creator (Ms. Shama Rana) who is a beautiful soul herself. All the trainers are gentle yet strong in their teaching skills. Thank you.” 🙏🌺
Pankhuri Shukla, Pune
“When i joined samsara yoga studio, i was just coming out of a year of health issues that had left me feeling quite weak and under confident. My first interaction with Shama ma’am was a relief because I could tell she understood the human anatomy more than other yoga teachers i had interacted with previously; she understood my condition and was able to guide accordingly.
Over the past few months, i’ve thoroughly enjoyed waking up and going to the studio everyday. each class begins and ends with meditation exercises that leave you feeling calm and rejuvenated for the rest of the day.
Samsara is spacious, bright, and well-equipped. the trainers are empathetic and exceptionally good at teaching and interacting with students of all ages.
Personally, i feel a lot more confident, strong, and comfortable with my body (a feeling i had been missing for quite some time) now as compared to when i had just joined.
i would highly recommend Samsara to beginners as well as experienced yoga practitioners.” 🙂

“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!”
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.”

“Coming to Samsara has helped in many aspects of life. I had first joined for medical yoga which helped me release all the tight muscles which resulted in release of pain and increase in flexibility.
The studio not only focuses on yoga but also helps with overall wellbeing with help of home remedies and giving set of personalised exercises. Ma’am focuses on every clients and also takes followup which keeps us consistent.
The yoga classes are fun and exciting they are a blend of yoga and contemporary exercise which helps in increasing overall strength and flexibility. all the doubts regarding yoga and wellbeing are answered during and after the classes. In all the classes are fun and informative as all the poses we do are explained in brief while performing.
Maam also provides personalised nutrition plan in which blood reports are studied supplements are suggested along with some changes in daily routine. following that helped me by getting better rest and becoming active throughout the day and also reduced acne.”

Ecstatic with my RYT 200 certification At the time of ecstasy, language falls way too short to describe how one feels. For example, how do you describe the word ecstasy itself. Ecstasy comes from Greek word ektasis which means entrancement. So how do you even speak when you are in a trance like state – let alone write a review for someone like Shama Rana – my Yoga, meditation and spirituality guru – at Samsara the Yoga Studio in Pune India. After having experimented to get my Yoga Alliance International RYT 200 International Yoga Teacher’s license from some of the biggest Yoga schools in the world – such as those in Rishikesh and Trivandrum in India or Toronto in Canada – I decided to surrender to Shama Rana. Now the question is why did I not succeed in my endeavor. The answer is simple. I was looking to dive deep into Yoga at the cellular level rather than join a shallow cursory course of 200 hours in 22 days. Yoga and the Vedic philosophy are so immense and intense that you just can’t grasp let alone master them in 22 days. It is like sowing a seed and expecting it to bloom into a garden or a forest in 22 days. Moreover, I had known Shama since 2015, who even at that time had Yoga teaching experience of more than 10,000 hours which by now had swelled to 20,000 hours. And now after completing 360 hours of mastering 200 yoga postures and 120 lessons of Yogic philosophy theory – I am delighted to have surrendered myself into the healing hands of Shama Rana
Yoga by the rivers and lakes The beauty about Shama is that she inspires the student to eat, drink and breathe Yogic philosophy to a level that the student becomes an ocean of knowledge in absolutely no time. Every time Shama speaks, she shares the ocean of her knowledge not by buckets and pales but by rivers and lakes. I am getting goose bumps as I write this because Shama has completely transformed me. I always thought I knew a lot about Yoga because I could contort into a few asanas and sink into some shallow meditation. All that was not only bloating my ego but also fatiguing rather than energizing me
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. It does not mean that she omits the course books. Shama expands on each and every chapter of Yoga and Dhyana course book spread over 120 lessons. She personally helps you to perfect over 200 asanas as compared to a maximum of 49 asanas that are mandatory to get the certification. Most of the Yoga classes I attended in India and Canada only taught me the basics of power, flow or Hatha Yoga but at Samsara, Shama teaches Ashtanga Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Chair yoga, Partner yoga as well as Iyengar Yoga derivatives with props, wall ropes, bricks and belts, aerial hammocks, etc. Shama The Maestra and Vikas The Maestro With Shama at Samsara the emphasis is more on Dhyan as being the ultimate objective of the Sadhana rather than just the physical aspect of Yoga. With the help of Vikas Rana – the extremely accomplished Spiritual Coach, Meditation and Mind Management Maestro and husband of Shama, I have been able to dive deep into the thus far untouched recesses of my mind. Shama – The Nutritional Medicine Healer Not only is Shama just a Yoga Guru, she has also mastered the practice of Nutritional Medicine – the science behind vitamins and minerals – and how they can rejuvenate your whole being. ……………….
After conducting a comprehensive blood test that covered 92 parameters of my wellness – Shama encouraged me to stop taking multi vitamins that I had been ingesting for 30 years. Some of its ingredients were harming my heart and my hormones and that none of the doctors ever diagnosed. Instead she prescribed a course of individual vitamins and minerals that have reenergized me at the cellular level. I have shed five kilos of my body weight. Shrunk two inches around my waist and all this in just four months of taking Shama’s prescribed vitamins and minerals. In summary In life you gain some and you lose some and that applies to me too except that in my case my losses have also been my gains because Shama – The motherly sculptor Now, will I recommend Shama Rana and Samsara, The Yoga School to obtain your RYT 200? Oh my God yes, I will do so whole-heartedly to anyone who wants the best of the best. Shama nurtures, nourishes and brings out the best from you like a godly sculptor who chisels you to become a flawless brilliant diamond in no time. Vishnu Gur Pune – Toronto Mar 27th 2023.”

“I have done my Yoga Teacher Training Course from Samsara. Here I not only learnt Yoga postures along with Pranayama, meditation techniques and Shuddhi kriyas but also learned about human anatomy and physiology.
Shama and Vikas are excellent guides who teach with great passion. Lectures on Yoga philosophy by Vikas are outstanding.
During practical classes we get an opportunity to conduct class which helps us to cater to the needs of people of all age groups. This course helped me to have a better understanding of body and mind.
I would highly recommend this course to anybody who wants to be a Yoga trainer.
During the Course, Vikas had given some lectures on yoga philosophy which were outstanding. He is one of the best yoga philosophy teachers whom I came across. His in-depth knowledge of the subject is visible in his lectures.Other than philosophy, I also got to know about many theories on human behavior which helped me better understand human nature.

“The Meditation and Mind Training Course has helped me in dealing with the ups and downs in my life much better. I went through a very stressful period over the last 2-3 years and it forced me to think deeper about how to deal with it.
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.”

“I was looking for a Yoga Training class and was also still deciding if I should do RYT 200 course. In my very first interaction with Shama ma’am, I understood the gap I have in my Yoga learning, and I have found the right guide to close this gap.
In my first few classes, my understanding of Yoga, being Asana focused, changed completely. I learned asanas with proper form and alignment, cleansing techniques, Pranayam, breathing and meditation techniques.
The best part of learning this with Shama ma’am is that there is no time limit to any of the above topics. You can come back with questions, and she is always there to answer the queries or to repeat the concepts. This course is not about theoretical teaching from a book, but from Shama ma’am’s wealth of knowledge. She makes sure you learn doing the actual practice and also refers to lot of different resources to learn.
In the studio, I could learn Asanas with props and also variation of asanas. I got good understanding of creating sequences based on anatomy, different flows covering Sukshma vyayam, pranayam and focus on asanas for different needs. The studio is well equipped to practices asanas with props , ropes and spacious to cover many students.
I also got a very good understanding of nutrition and benefits of supplements. These changes have shown improvements in my health.
This course has further helped me in looking at life from a completely different perspective. It has helped me in my work and personal life, to implement the teachings for the betterment of me and my family. The overall experience has made me understand that I am still at the start of the learning journey, but I have the required resources and guide to make progress on this journey.
I feel I am lucky to have found Shama ma’am, a Guru for life time. I would highly recommend this course as well as Samsara Yoga Studio for anyone who is planning to embark on the Yoga journey.”

It has helped me in my work and personal life, to implement the teachings for the betterment of me and my family. The overall experience has made me understand that I am still at the start of the learning journey, but I have the required resources and guide to make progress on this journey.
I feel I am lucky to have found Shama ma’am, a Guru for life time. I would highly recommend this course as well as Samsara Yoga Studio for anyone who is planning to embark on the Yoga journey.”

“I had been looking for an internationally certified course in Yoga Teacher Training for a long time. Once I reached Samsara The Yoga Studio, I realized that it was the perfect one which I had been looking for.
Earlier I used to think Yoga means mere physical exercises but it is from Samsara that I understood the real meaning of yoga. Yoga is the integration of body, mind and understanding the concept of Consciousness or Self. Yoga is an Indian philosophy and it is a study of the mind and its functions, which is the root cause of suffering. Chitta Vritti Nirodha is the goal of Ashtanga Yoga, meaning stopping the fluctuations of the mind. My whole concept of yoga has changed from here, and I started looking at my life in completely new way.
Despite my practice of yoga asanas for many years, this course enlightened me with the proper form and alignment of the various asanas, pranayama, the breathing techniques and meditation techniques. The study of human anatomy and its application of the concepts resulted in the correct way of practicing postures which I never knew. We get to learn Traditional Ashtanga Yoga, Hatha Yoga and other schools of Yoga, Yoga with props and Vinyasa. Here I learnt a lot of classical asanas and their variations, the modifications with the use of props, how to create sequences and understand various flows to be able to take a proper class. The course progressed in a very relaxed manner with a lot of flexibility of time I would say well suited for busy people, working individuals and homemakers.
I was a hyperactive person and my energy was frittered away unnecessarily without my knowledge and now that I understand the concept of Prana or energy anatomy, I am able to conserve it and use it effectively. I started learning the concept of yoga nidra and meditation from this studio. My concentration has been improved drastically and now I am able to meditate and enjoy the process. Through the understanding of the various yogic frame works my practice deepened and my mental well-being improved greatly.
Shama Ma’am is an authority or university of the subject. She is well composed too and she is able to understand every student’s requirement and ability and she trains and teaches them accordingly. Every asana ma’am would explain very well and she would make sure we are practicing it well in line with the understanding human anatomy principles, minute details of each asanas she would explain very well. Any query that we have she gives a lot of personal attention and she ensures that your doubts are cleared. In one word I can say she is a “Gifted Guru”.
The studio is airy and is located in serene and peaceful surroundings. I felt a lot of joy and positive vibes in this studio. I had wonderful course mates during my training, all were very supportive, it felt like family.
I strongly recommend this place, “SAMASARA THE YOGA STUDIO” to those who want to reinvent themselves through 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.”

“Before joining the RYT 200 teacher training course, I used to be skeptical about Yoga. Despite my minimal experience with it, I had decreed that it was simply not my path. What I hadn’t realized then was that what I had been doing was not truly yoga, it was an aerobic exercise. Through the course, I learned what Yoga was truly meant to be. This course allowed me to better my mind, and body and taught me how to help others do the same. I will always be thankful for this course and especially Shama ma’am because it has improved my life exponentially. Shama ma’am taught me to turn my attention to my own body and prioritize my health. I learned more about my body and the state of my mind, as well as how to push them to their limits to unlock their full potential. By working on improving my health, eventually, I saw improvements in all other aspects of my life.Throughout this course, I was able to learn about anatomy, philosophy, psychology, asanas, and meditation. More than just learning about these subjects I was also given the tools to apply them to my own life. I was able to use the knowledge I gained from this course to avoid illness, improve concentration, and remain peaceful. This course has helped me tremendously, and more importantly, it has given me the ability to help others. For those reasons I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their lives. This course and Samsara studio will allow you to approach your own life with a better mindset and only prove beneficial to you and those around you.”

“I have attended meditation classes with Vikas for over a year. He is a very wise guide and helps people find their own path rather than give advice. Along with that, he is a great listener.
I experienced a lot of progress on the spiritual and emotional front, due to being regular in my practice with Vikas’s support. His words and insights are the basis of a lot of my decisions. Thanks Vikas.”

“I joined the RYT 200 teacher training course last year at the age of 15 from a completely different country. Initially I was encouraged by my mom (who also did this course) to join it as something that will keep me occupied during the summer. I can whole heartedly say that I never in a million years expected this yoga couse taught by Mrs. Rana to have such a positive impact on my life. When I joined last year, I was the youngest trainee and that naturally made me more self- councious and introverted. However, that feeling didn’t last for long as I learned that yoga is for anyone and everyone, doesn’t matter if you are 16 or 60.
I learned so many things about my body and the different aspects of life because of the in-depth knowledge that Mrs. Rana has, that I don’t even know where to begin. I learned abut the history of yoga and how it is so much more than various postures. I also learned to come out of my shell when I slowly started teaching and greatly improved my communication skills. Learning this course online was actually a positive and different experience. Though it was not the ideal learning environment, Mrs. Rana adapted to this change and taught effectively in a manner that did not at all compromise my education. She made us feel comfortable with this unexpected change and made a great amount of time for me.
She is truly a great teacher and I can honestly say that whenever I have a question regarding my mental, physical or emotional health, I run straight to her. Yoga has changed my life for the better and is so much more than what most of us think. It is a way of life that I believe everyone should be given the opportunity to learn. It has helped me during this tough time with the pandemic and I am positive it will continue to be an important part of my life.”

“When I started on my spiritual journey I had some very tough questions. I went into the workshops conducted by Vikas Rana with a totally muddled mind but came out crystal clear.
The whole workshop was very interactive. I was especially impressed with Vikas’s clarity. His own personal experience and knowledge of all things ‘consciousness’ is immensely valuable and Vikas’s explanations were very articulate and yet very precise. I wholeheartedly encourage all seekers to attend his sessions at Samsara.
Some of the best meditation classes that I have attended over the last five years have been those that have been conducted by Vikas Rana at Samsara. Since then I have practiced serious meditation at home and have actually been able to enter the deepest recesses of my mind. Vikas teaches quite a few variations and all of them have been very easy to follow. This is in comparison to some conducted even by senior meditation masters at high-end Yoga Ashrams and Retreats in India and Canada, which have not necessarily produced the same results. For me Vikas’s methods deserve 10 upon 10.”

“I completed the Meditation and Mind Training course, and it was truly transformative. Vikas Sir is knowledgeable and supportive, creating a welcoming atmosphere for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Each session included a mix of guided meditations, and discussions on mindfulness, which helped deepen my understanding of the practice.
The course was well-structured, with each week building on the previous one. I especially appreciated the variety of techniques introduced, which allowed me to find what resonated best with me.
The group discussions fostered a sense of community, making it easier to share experiences and insights.
By the end of the course, I felt more centered and equipped with tools to manage stress and improve my overall well-being. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to incorporate meditation into their daily life.”

“After just a month of regular practice at the Samsara Yoga Studio my admiration for both; yoga and the studio, has only grown. All the instructors are kind, supportive and willing to meet you wherever you are in your own yoga journey and help guide you to be better. I have been able to push myself and simultaneously find a sense of peace while thoroughly enjoying the process.
The studio is reflective of the instructors who are careful in building the serene and friendly atmosphere that the place is beaming with. It’s been a wonderful experience and I’ll be carrying a lot of my learnings into the other areas of my life as well!”

“For me ‘YOGA’ is not just a physical activity, it is a combination of working on your mind and body. Once body is still and the mind slows down, the body heals. I have been practicing yoga since the Year 2017 at Samsara The Yoga Studio, I realized mastering asanas was not sufficient and there is a lot to Yoga than just doing ‘Asanas’ and so I decided to do the Yoga Teacher Training certification from Samsara which I consider as a blessing.Samsara The Yoga Studio as a studio always gives a pleasant and positive vibe. It is situated away from the hustle and bustle of the city close to the Anandvan forest. It is spacious, well ventilated equipped with all the yoga props, wall ropes, aerial hammocks, the various benches, etc.Having the right trainer and teacher who is willing to share their knowledge and experience is the right way to complete any certification. Having Shama Rana as my teacher since the year 2017 and thereafter during my certification, I consider as a blessing. She is blessed with patience, good teaching skills, stability, detailed knowledge about the entire course and yoga as a whole. Welcoming questions from students is her wonderful quality which helped me and still helps me to learn a lot and keep exploring.The Yoga certification course beautifully shares the journey of yoga from ancient history till date with detailed teaching methods, asana, pranayama and knowledge of how yoga with meditation can awaken and bring one’s awareness with regular practice. I was introduced to the origin of yoga and yogic practices of Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga, different types of Asanas with proper form and alignment, various benefits, various breathing techniques and Pranayamas, Meditation Techniques, Teaching Methods, Sequencing flow and skills to acquire as a teacher. Anatomy includes the study of joints, their movement and muscles.Shama Rana motivates and encourages every student to set aside their fears and step on the floor to conduct classes which instills in us the confidence to take a class with calmness and poise. Her guidance before and after every demo class pushes us to think, correct and be creative with the sequences as per the client’s requirement.My body was very stiff before I came into yoga, under the guidance of Shama, with continuous practice and enthusiasm I have been able to open my body wonderfully. Thereafter in the Year 2020 while pursuing this course, I learnt that you require to stay in asanas comfortably and for longer durations (Sthiram Sukham Asanam) for you to get the benefit of the asana, remaining still allowing your breath to slow down, mind focused and aware of what you are doing which leads to slowing down of the mind. This trains your mind to be more accepting without any reaction in difficult / different situations. Practicing meditation reduced my mental clutter, and allowed me to become aware of my thoughts and become more accepting of them as they are. This has transformed me bringing in more stability in my mind which is a necessity for my body to function well with no illness. Always having been in a rajasic state of mind earlier, this course helped me to slow down my thoughts which is healing my body gradually. It made me aware of my every action, emotion and my surroundings by living in the present moment and make conscious decisions with awareness.This course can transform the lives of many individuals who are still struggling and feel entangled in their own thoughts because our thoughts decide our every action and reaction.”

“The uniqueness is not only present in the name of the yoga studio but can be seen in the service too. The aura of the studio rejuvenates me. And after interacting with Shama and with her guidance, it’s like knowing you have come to the right place and to the right person to learn yoga.
It’s been 9 years knowing Shama and one month joining Samsara and I already feel bliss. The classes are very well executed, keeping in mind everyone’s time and requirement. She not only guides you to enact the asanas but also challenges your own limits with comfort.
She is gifted with an amazing sense of balance and composure which reflects in her teaching you all the asanas. Doing yoga with her is like reaching tranquility.
I am very happy that Shama started this yoga studio to help us in not only becoming aware of our health and fitness, but also to bring about a sense of secureness within oneself so you can fall in love with yourself again and to have balance in your life.”

“Over the past four months, I have had the privilege of attending yoga classes at Samsara yoga studio under the guidance of Shama Rana, a talented and knowledgeable yoga instructor. My experience has been nothing short of transformative.
I was captivated by its 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. She effortlessly tailors each session to accommodate students of different skill levels, ensuring that everyone feel challenged and supported.
She encouraged open communication, creating a safe space for us to share our experiences and challenges. The supportive environment and sense of belonging within the class has had such a positive and uplifting energy that has become an integral part of my yoga journey.
I highly recommend Samsara The Yoga Studio classes to anyone seeking a holistic approach to yoga, a sense of community, and personal growth.”

“For me Yoga is not just gaining body flexibility, it’s a process of knowing oneself inside out. After my extensive search near my locality, I came across this studio which is situated in a very calm place with ample space around (good air circulation). Normally yoga classes teach us how to do all poses but as I said this studio is different that teaches how our body along with mind works in each Asana (like why we are doing this certain Asana & which part of your body is getting energy).
The owner and Instructor of the studio, Shama has a unique way to connect with all participants in her class and making you feel comfortable in your own pace (where you never compare yourself with others flexibility), as she regularly says it’s an individual’s journey .
She follows both traditional (Ashtanga and Hatha yoga) and modern way of yoga practice in her sessions with all kind of props. I have gained the lost connection of my body with mind within a few sessions with her.
Shama focuses not only in traditional form of yoga asanas but also breathing techniques (pranayama) in each class. I found myself very comfortable that rarely happen with me as I take usually long time to adjust in a new setting.
Shama has in-depth knowledge about traditional yoga and she has made it flexible by adding all available props (aerial too).
Over all I would like to recommend Samsara Yoga Studio for all age groups. As Shama is looking after each participant in her class, you won’t feel unguided during her 1hr sessions.
Here I am not uploading any pics as after practicing yoga with her, one can look at their own pic and feel that satisfaction.”

“My RYT200 experience at Samsara was a transformative one. I expected to learn asana, anatomy and sequencing of classes, all of which I did learn with a lot of depth. I did not, however, expect to come out of it a changed person. Learning meditation and yoga philosophy taught me how to live a more fulfilling life. Combined with the teaching of anatomy and basic biomechanics, my ability to recall various asanas improved by leaps and bounds. I can now comfortably conduct yoga classes for groups of various ages. I would recommend this course to anyone interested because it emphasizes holistic development i.e physical, mental and spiritual.“

Couple of months ago I was nearly over weight as per my BMI, but I lost 4 Kgs without dieting. I did not even dream about headstand, but now I can easily do free headstand (Upgrading towards handstand now). Special thanks to CHANDANA for pushing my limits to strengthen me. I have no words to describe the Meditation, One should experience it. I just wanted to say a really heart felt Thanks to Shama and SALUTE to her dedication towards her dream Studio.”

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.
Overall, love this place!”

“I visited Samsara The Yoga studio because of the back pain issue due to frequent suspects like postures, sitting and the nature of the job. it was overall a great experience when Shama committed to resolve the issue.
The approach is very scientific and systematic right from first understanding the real issue with medical history, blood report, X-ray etc. The treatment was very well designed with a mix of medical yoga and postures to slowly get the muscles back to normal and then focussing on achieving flexibility and strength. There is a dramatic improvement within 3 months.
The attention was not only to resolve the main issue systematically, but also overall body strength and fitness. It has been a great experience. The post would be incomplete without mentioning the very hard working, skilled and dedicated team that is trained to give results with a lot of personal attention. Overall a great experience. Thanks a lot Shama and team!”

“I was diagnosed with a frozen shoulder and could not lift my left hand. I was advised to go for physiotherapy for which I consulted Shama at Samsara The Yoga Studio. After studying my reports Shama recommended me to do medical yoga.
I completed three months of medical yoga at Samsara under the able guidance of Shama and her team. There was improvement of my hand movement and now I am almost near to the original condition. Thanks to Shama and her team for their keen interest in making this happen.”

“I am from Hubli and i had an online Cellular Nutrition and Wellness Coaching session with Shama Ma’am. The session with her was really good. I got to know how the system of the body exactly works.
My condition was really bad earlier. It meant that I was not able to have fruits or vegetables and sprouted moong at all. I used to have only moong dal and rice. I used to have inflammation many times in the stomach and sometimes I used to pass blood in the stool.
Now once I started the supplements and walk, I’m feeling much much better. It’s like I’m back to my normal life. I have everything except the red and green chillies, and dairy foods.
I’m really happy to have met you Ma’am. Now, I live my life to the fullest. Thank you so much.”

“Medical Yoga is a cross between Yoga and Physiotheray. The medical yoga teachers and practitioners have a deep understanding of human musculoskeletal system and use specially designed excercises and equipments to get the body ‘aligned’.
I’m fortunate to know Shama Rana who has mastered this art over the last few years and runs Samsara – The Yoga Studio. She is committed to help people learn, through Yoga and Meditation, the skills needed to stop creating their own worlds or cycles of suffering and live fulfilling lives.”

“Joining Samsara for yoga was a turning point in my life. When I initially joined Samsara, I had zero knowledge about yoga, but now, yoga is an integral part of my life. Shama mam has been an inspiration in my life, and I will never forget everything she has taught me. Shama mam provides personal attention to everyone, making Samsara a place where I continually gain more knowledge about yoga. She has motivated me in ways I can’t express enough gratitude for. Thank you so much for guiding me. I feel incredibly lucky to be your student and blessed to have a guru like you, mam. Thank you so much. I miss you.”

“I am very grateful that I got so experienced yoga teachers like you. Samsara The Yoga Studio ambiance always gave me positive energy and motivation. Your teaching methods are unique. Also you encourage all the students here to teach each other and share knowledge. I enjoyed (Vikas) Sir’s method of teaching philosophy through short stories.
Earlier I have attended courses at various institutes to learn yoga but my experience with Samsara The Yoga Studio has been the most enriching. Your teaching method includes theory and practical which are very easy to understand. You made me understand how each Asanas and Pranayama affects different parts of human body and mind. I appreciate your enduring efforts to teach me until I was able to digest the concept.
I loved attending Samsara The Yoga Studio so much that I wish I could have continued many more weeks. But I am leaving but only due to other commitments at family front. However I will make my best attempt to teach others whatever I learnt at Samsara. I am sure that you both would support me throughout my life in my efforts.
I will always cherish these wonderful memories and fruitful time spent at Samsara The Yoga Studio.”

“An amazingly comprehensive, complete & energizing course under the highly accomplished Yogacharya Shama Rana !!!
The progression of yoga skills seem possessive, smooth and natural which made me emerge with an activated body & peaceful soul.
Lectures by Vikas sir here are philosophical and the meditation mesmerizing !!
These visual and aural perceptions are subdued reminders of what I learnt & made my movement swift towards the harmony of nature.
Words are not enough thank Shama Mam . It’s a feeling transmuted through my body into spirited energy.
Most importantly she will understand you and your timings first rest will fall into place..”

“Meditation and Mind Training is a programme gently mentored and steered by Vikas Rana. The advent of pandemic and the dystopian times we live in, mental wellbeing has become imperative. Vikas’s programme addresses it beautifully.
Internalisation aided by the real life discussions of the participants makes the experience extremely meaningful and grounding.
People new to meditation shall find the group meditations a good place to start this journey. Highly recommended.”

“Shama Rana is an excellent teacher and mentor. When I decided to do the RYT 200 course, I had only practiced yoga a few times before. Her patience, kindness and teaching skills motivated me to follow in her footsteps. Her experience and knowledge in asanas, meditation practices and pranayama is inspiring.
She doesn’t believe in spoon feeding. I was encouraged to gain my own insights through experiential learning and delve into the intricacies of yoga at my own pace.
She combines scientific teachings like anatomy and physiology with the practice of yoga asanas to give an in-depth understanding of the benefits of each asana.
She encouraged us to apprentice while she was teaching so that we learnt how to tackle common problems faced by potential clients. Her studio has a very calming vibe and is well equipped with props.
She made sure to give all the trainees adequate attention and one-on-one guidance so that we are completely prepared to enter the field of yoga as teachers with confidence. I have noticed a drastic change in myself and have begun to incorporate the yoga culture into my lifestyle.
Selecting Samsara The Yoga Studio was a wise decision and I’m happy that I began my yoga journey with Shama ma’am.”

“Vikas has been guiding me and my family for the past 8 to 10 years. As a mentor he gives his complete attention during the one-on-one sessions. He has helped me grow spiritually and become a witness to all that is happening around and within me.
The concepts he teaches are very deep yet he makes them easy to understand. He has created a new outlook on life for me and helped me with my issues with my family and business. Each time I have learnt something new and improved my personal and professional life. I have now become a more peaceful and happy person only witnessing the unfolding of Life.”

“My long association with Samsara The Yoga Studio and its founder Mrs. Shama Rana, goes back to 2017, when I joined her only for regular asana practice to keep myself physically fit. In the span of 6 years, the studio and the teacher not only gave me a befitting place to exercise, but also built my zeal to learn about yoga and its philosophy in depth. In the realm of yoga instruction, where proficiency meets passion, Shama stands as a shining example of excellence. She effortlessly weaves a tapestry of tranquillity and empowerment in every class, captivating her students with a genuine passion for yoga. From the moment you step into her studio, you can feel the positive energy she radiates, creating an atmosphere that encourages self-discovery and growth. One of Shama’s standout qualities is her profound knowledge of yoga. Her classes are not just about mastering poses; they delve into the philosophy and spirituality that underpin this ancient discipline. With articulate explanations and insightful anecdotes, she brings to life the essence of yoga, making it accessible to practitioners of all levels. Her classes are a harmonious blend of the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of yoga, leaving students with a deeper understanding of themselves and the practice. What truly sets Shamas’s yoga courses apart is her unwavering commitment to her students’ well-being. She fosters a sense of community within her classes, creating a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore their boundaries without judgment. Her ability to connect with each student on a personal level is a testament to her genuine and compassionate nature. The studio, aptly described as a Wellness Centre provides comprehensive solutions to both physical and mental illnesses. It caters to medical yoga clients and is well equipped for rope yoga, aerial yoga and classical yoga asana along with various meditational practices. Samsara The Yoga Studio, under the guidance of Mrs. Shama Rana, is more than a place for physical exercise; it is a sanctuary where one discovers bliss and inner peace. With a wholehearted recommendation, this studio becomes a beacon for those in search of holistic development, offering a profound and enriching journey toward self-discovery and well-being. Here, I have found my haven for spiritual learning.”

“I would like to express my gratitude to Vikas for designing this amazing Meditation and Mind Training Course and presenting it so very effectively. The venue had a perfect ambience for the course and Vikas was pleasant and very calming to listen.
I have gained a lot from the theoretical and practical sessions, where I got the answers to many of my questions. Earlier, I had a very vague interpretation in my mind about ideas like ‘what it means to live with awareness’, ‘how to live in the now’, ‘how to increase our awareness’, ‘to observe our mind, our thoughts, feelings, emotions and sensations’. How ‘not to become one with the problem but to look at it dispassionately and use intellect rather than emotions to deal with it’.
I understood that there was need to unlearn certain irrational beliefs and replace them with rational ideas to deal with the root causes of my emotional problems.
Problematic situations in life still exist and will stay with me as long as I am interacting with the world around me, but now l am able to replace my mind talk with my intellectual reasoning and handle them with ease.”

“It`s been a great experience to be part of Samsara the Yoga Studio. I feel happy and satisfied that I chose Samsara Teacher Training Course. This is the best place to learn yoga.
Shama Rana is an excellent teacher who teaches all the aspects of Yoga. She has a wonderful knowledge of Yoga, Pranayam and Meditation. She motivates her students to become better and better.
Vikas Rana`s philosophy and meditation classes are outstanding.
The best part of Samsara TTC is it gives a very good knowledge about Human anatomy and physiology so that the student understands the asanas and its alignment perfectly. The practical experience that the student gets from here is an asset for his/her teaching career.
Once you complete the course you are absolutely ready as a Yoga Instructor. Thank you Shama and Vikas. I highly recommend Samsara The Yoga Studio for Yoga Teacher Training Course.”

“SAMSARA THE YOGA STUDIO is a place where every word has a deep meaning.
SHAMA maam and VIKAS sir are the best teachers that I came across. Things which i never understood in last 13 years of my school they made me realize that – what really I am – in 3 months . I always feel some positive energy when ever I enter SAMSARA. What ever they teach it gets stuck in my head and stays .
SHAMA maam is very polite and loving she teaches every thing in such a way that even the words get impressed. Philosophy of VIKAS sir is also wonderful. We learn many things from him and as well as enjoy to study with him. After being in SAMSARA I not only learnt asanas, philosophy, anatomy but also way of living and being happy. After coming to SAMSARA I also lost a bit of weight, though I enjoyed my food .
Love u SHAMA maam and VIKAS sir for being an inspiration to me.”

“I did my teacher’s training course at Samsara (a place where learning is never ending). These 4 months have been extremely fulfilling and satisfying. Each day had been an awesome learning experience. Some of the key aspects which are probably only available at Samsara and served me plentifully are:
1. Timings are very flexible. I was able to strike a balance between my family and my course
2. Anatomy was given lots of focus with practical examples and experiences
3. I got a lot of exposure in training various batches with different audience type. This made the learning very experiential and hands-on.
Lastly.. Shama and Vikas are amazing facilitators. I am in awe of their concept of enabling every individual. Thank you for value adding. All the best and may you keep sharing knowledge like the way you do!”

“I joined samsara for the RYT200 course. I suffered from stroke induced left body side weakness. But under the able knowledge and guidance of Shama Rana Madam I was able to complete the requirements of the course meaningfully, inspite of all my weaknesses. This course has transformed me personally, because of the knowledge of Yoga (asanas, philosophy, anatomy, nutrition, physiology, pranayama) imparted by Shama Madam. This a very well maintained and managed studio with all the props and equipments. This course also provides the knowledge of human anatomy, which when connected with yogic postures makes you able to apply the yogic asana frameworks tailoured to the specific clientele. Madam also enriches this coursework or syllabus by sharing her own rich experiences and insights as and when required for students to fully understand the content easily. This is an awesome value for money course as well as the studio quality is unquestionable. If you want to make your career as an International yoga teacher… think no more..THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU”
Paarthivi Sirbhaiya, Pune
“Yoga has been in my life since childhood and I have always been passionate about it. When I decided to start the RYT 200 course, I thought it would mainly be a lot of theory and practical studies but what I did not expect was an enlightening journey into the body, mind, and soul.
From the definition of Yoga to the basics of anatomy to the understanding of who am I, Shama Rana, taught me with patience and passion, and changed my view of myself and what the goal of yoga is. She encouraged me to be confident and take as many classes as I could under her guidance so that I could learn from my mistakes. She sat with me going over topics I was not confident with, and she was always available to solve any problems I had. She is the most dedicated and knowledgeable teacher anyone can ask for. The studio is a beautiful space with a very calm and comforting essence.
Now, six months after the completion of my course I am very confident in taking a variety of classes and if I ever have any doubts, I know I can go to back Shama, and she will guide me through it.
I recommend this course to anyone who might be interested in yoga, as this is not only a physical journey but also a journey to enlightenment.”

“I have done RYT 200 hrs teachers training from Samasara. My learning experience was amazing. Now I m pretty confident to take classes for all the age groups. As part of this course, we learn that yoga is not only about Asanas but it is beautiful combination of postures, pranayama and meditation. you learn about human anatomy, philosophy, strength poses, posture correction and meditation. Thank you Shama and Vikas for creating such a wonderful platform for future yoga teachers!!“

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.

“I am here to share with you my amazing experience about Shama Ma’am. What I love about her is her energy, her passion, and her deep knowledge on how body works.
She explained to me about my body issues, nutrition deficiencies and what exactly my body needs, so well that it made me realise the lifestyle mistakes I have been doing. Her connection with traditional eating habits and traditional ways of healing your body also helped me connect more and understand the nutrition body needs.
She doesn’t only work on the food aspect but also your thinking patterns, your workouts and overall nutritional level which will eventually help your stamina. She makes it simple yet interesting. So if you are looking to give your lifestyle a correct new way, you know where to go! ❤”

“I have been with Shama for a very long time . She has introduced me to holistic healing. I was suffering from Rhematoid Arthritis and she has drastically reduced my flare ups by putting me on different vitamins which were deficient in my body. I have been taking these and my vitals are so much better now . I would strongly suggest anyone with issues in their body to seek her expert advice. Thank you Shama for sharing your expertise with the world.”

“Earlier this year, I got some blood test results that scared me. I knew I had to take better care of myself, but I didn’t know where to start with my diet. One of my friends recommended that I should consult once with Shama Ma’am as he also had best experience with her. I was amazed with her 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 through out.
I am grateful to Shama Ma’am to get such guidance to kickstart my healthy lifestyle.”

“I had lots of pain in my knee and back and I was not able to walk or climb staircases.
I was told by doctors to take injections for my knee problem otherwise I will not be able to walk. Last year after joining Samsara, it took about six months of Medical Yoga Therapy and my knee and back pain vanished.
I continue to do my Medical Yoga and Yoga postures. Medical Yoga therapy will help people with back pain, knee pain and neck pain. My teacher Shama not only teaches Yoga, but has made me change my attitude and outlook towards life. I have become very positive. I am very happy after joining the studio and I feel everybody should do Yoga.”

“Thank you Samsara for healing people on a personal level. I had multiple problems when i came to Samsara after trying various healing techniques that I came upon. I started with the medical yoga it truly cured me not only body wise but also at a mental level.
The approach is extremely positive and not only structured towards your body but also your mind and soul. I am now continuing with the yoga classes that are extremely fun and refreshing.
Unlike other monotonous yoga classes, Samsara tries different methods and techniques everyday catering to every muscle every tissue of your body. I am extremely happy with the results. I would recommend Samsara to everyone for enriching your mind, body and soul.”
