Thank you and I am eternally grateful to the universe for the journey and the new beginning. " ( Piyali Chatterjee )

" I have completed my 300 hours of teacher training from Abhayaranya and my experience has been nothing but soul-fulfilling. The yoga ashram is located on the hill away from the city that makes it one of its kind. Teachers are very knowledgeable and always ready to extend help, the place is neat and clean, staff is super helpful and the food is just awesome. I heard that Abhayaranya is also opening their yoga retreat program. Cannot wait to be back there again. Best wishes team Abhayaranya " ( Sudhir Jakhar )
