Meet Pritam Bani
Pritam Bani Kaur/Barbara
Yoga is my passion. From the graceful flows of Vinyasa, to the stillness of Yin, to the awakening energy of Kundalini, and the peaceful rest of Restorative…I love it all! Yoga is the vessel that delivers balance, union and inner peace to the body.
Being able to teach my passion to others is a true gift. Watching students ease into poses, seeing their stress melt away, be comfortable in their own bodies and gain overall wellness is where my Bhakti lies.
My journey began in 2016 with Kundalini Yoga. In September 2017, I opened Devotion Yoga located in Croton on Hudson, a studio fully dedicated to the practice of Kundalini Yoga. Prior to the pandemic, I closed the studio and began to teach at local studios (YogaSol, PranaMoon, Karma Road, Yoga Heights and Fused Fitness) as well as at private communities.
As I taught, my thirst for learning more grew! I studied other Yoga styles and healing modalities and received certifications along the way.
My philosophy for leading classes is to teach from the heart. I teach with love, love for my clients and love for Yoga. Healing happens when we are supported and comforted. The space that I hold in my classes is just that. Warm, inviting, devoted and above all - loving. Be well. Be Bhakti Well.
