Lifestyle & Dietary Change Reviews:

The lifestyle and dietary changes prescribed have been most helpful in alleviating my dry skin, dermatitis and gastritis. Within a fortnight of making some changes I was delighted to find the dry skin was nearly gone and huge improvements in gastritis. Thank you very much and blessings!

Ayurvedic Healing Reviews:

Shirani at Santhosa is a compassionate, patient & extremely knowledgeable Ayurvedic practitioner. I have been in consultation with her for a number of health problems for moving into 4 months now & I have positive results in all areas where years (if not decades) of mainstream practices have failed me.

I am regularly stopped by friends & work colleagues that comment “you are glowing”. I’m still on the journey but feel immeasurably improved already. Thank you for your care, Shirani. I highly recommend your teachings & practice.

~ Much love & gratitude – Laurie

Yoga Class Reviews:

Various yoga students who have been taught by Shirani have left these messages about her teaching of yoga and what they have experienced in Shirani’s yoga classes.

Thank you Shirani. It was a pleasure to meet you and have the privilege of undertaking yoga classes with you. Stay well and thank you once again.

~ Tania

I am so glad you have passed through my life, it has been wonderful learning the very special way you teach yoga. Anyone who is lucky enough to come into contact with you will truely benefit from it. Thank you Shirani.

~ Katrina

Shirani has taken me on a wonderful journey of understanding the depths of yoga. She is very encouraging and motivating. Her teaching goes well beyond simply teaching the asana’s. It is a very holistic approach. My practice has developed significantly since becoming one of her students. Through yoga, I learnt to quieten down my competitive mindset. I used to have crunched feet, really tight joints and I was very pitta oriented (always felt over-heated).

Over the months, my feet have flattened out, and she has helped me completely eliminate menopausal issues through my asana practice. I feel deeply grateful to have Shirani as my yoga teacher, Shirani has given me the confidence to learn so much through my daily practice, has taught me to slow down and feel the benefits of each pose and has helped me understand the powers of pranyama.

~ Kelly

Shirani has been guiding me on the road to both physical wellness and mental/emotional balance through yoga and Ayuverdic practices for the past six months. Her knowledge and insight into ascertaining and navigating solutions to issues on an individual basis is unique and ‘on point’. Shirani’s calm and comforting approach to meditation, Ayuverdic dietary beliefs and yoga poses enables her patients to gain confidence and strength – all positives that I was unable to achieve before meeting Shirani despite searching for answers and solutions for the past six years . (For the first time in six years I am free from all western medicine and supplements and have never felt better.) Although I have just started my recovery journey, with Shirani’s guidance and vast knowledge of Ayuverdic medicine, the improvements in my health, body strength and the techniques I am learning to assist with coping and managing anxiety have shown benefits far beyond my expectations. Shirani’s has been an integral part in my recovery to date and will remain so in the future – thank you Shirani.

~ Carmel

Shirani is a beautiful soul she is caring and really wants the best for her yoga students. Shirani has helped me change my mental and physical well-being with her holistic approach. Her yoga classes are tailored for the individual and I was impressed that you had to meet Shirani and sit down with her so she can understand what you want from your yoga experience. Thanks Shirani for all that you have done.

~ Ian

I am so happy with my body after our “Hip” yoga class this morning. I cannot believe the difference I can feel when walking, going up or down steps, I have even weight on each leg without hesitation. So impressed, as I am each week. I feel super after a yoga class with Shirani, but this week you totally reached higher and higher. And apart from that side of things, my partner actually said how bright I looked as soon as I walked into home.
