This yoga instructor is exceptional. She thoughtfully provides essential oils to help everyone relax, then educates us about our energetic bodies throughout the session. She's all about connecting us with nature. I absolutely love her gentle yoga flow, followed by a calming meditation and sometimes a sound bath. Highly recommend!

Yoga with Vandana { the body mechanic} is just what the chiropractor ordered! She will put your body in alignment, your mind into gratitude and your heart overflowing with love. So, so grateful to participate!

Yoga with Vandana at Sunken Gardens is something I look forward to on a regular basis … Vandana’s instruction & guidance is refreshing… it is a gentle practice for all… Vandana’s Loving , Kind & Healing Energy shines through to add to this experience….practicing it outdoors at Sunken Gardens ( a St Pete Gem) is like doing Yoga in a Tropical Rainforest….Good for the Mind, Body & Soul

Yoga with Vandana in Sunken Gardens is just magical. What more could you ask for? Surrounded by flora and fauna and more importantly fresh air. Better than any studio class for sure. Butterfly’s, birds, beetles, flamingos and parrots all make for a unique experience I just love love! I am so grateful for this offering.

The serenity and beauty of the Gardens, the sound of the conch trumpeting the start of our practice, and Vandana’s spirit create a wonderful experience. From the first “om” to “namaste,” we share a community that transcends a busy, fragmented world. We discover peace, joy, and love, from within and outside our realms!

I have been practicing yoga with Vandana since we moved to St. Pete in 2015 and love her classes. There is nothing more magical than doing yoga in a lush, green setting filled with flowers and birds and hearing Vandana's beautiful intonations guide us through our practice. Vandana's classes are gentle, yet she always offers alternatives that are either easier or more challenging, as she is sensitive to her students and their various levels of ability. She offers gentle hands-on adjustments if you want them. Her practice is fun and she is very atuned to her students. Savasana with Vandana is a like a dream, and she usually offers the most delicious light touch to your head as you enjoy your relaxation (if you want it). I always tell Vandana that she has an incredible gift, because she does.

I have been to many classes with Vandana of Awaken 2 Yoga at Sunken Gardens over the years and it is absolutely wonderful. She is a heart-felt, open, and inspiring yoga instructor. She knows how to read the class perfectly and give you a good start to your day. Vandana herself is a true gift to be around then add a fun, heart-opening yoga class on top of that!
