I practiced several types of yoga that I enjoyed over the years, but what really seemed different about Tri Yoga was the feeling of sacredness in moving so slowly and consciously through the flows. One asana flowed gracefully into the next as though it were the gift of a dance! There’s a detailed conscientiousness that draws your attention into how all your body parts move in connection to one another in a synchronized fashion. This internal focus, enhanced by the use of your breath (prana -life’s source of energy), is a path way into the inner universe, while also opening the flow of chi and the portholes of nadis, expanding the subtle bodies. With these systematized krias comes a desire to want to perform these movements in an intimate way that expresses a feeling of grace and gratitude for having a life in this body. This shift of energy brought me to want to learn all I can about yoga from Kaliji and her devoted teachers.
There is a plethora of information that flows through Kaliji. With all her blessed connections she reminds us how to live as pure a life as possible philosophically, mentally, physically and with global consciousness in regard to our earth and all of its inhabitants! There are programs she provides that are wonderful resources for us to engage in daily! With all her systematized flows of asanas across the levels, and the varied resources (sutras, Ayurveda, science of yoga, music and chanting, sanskrit, vegan diet, fasting, pranayama, meditation, chakras, subtle bodies, and much, much more) I find a wealth of information flowing from one vast source that provides me with a depth and breath of teachings that keep me plentiful busy enhancing my life daily! My sense of family has certainly broadened as well!Humbly,

Dear Nandi, Thank you for your precise instruction. I’m teaching a basics class to a few neighbors and your verbal cues help me tremendously 🙏🏻xxo
Dear Santoshi,
I would like to say thank you to you! You have a special way to teach and also such a respectful and appreciative manner. My main job is usually teaching pupils maths and chemistry in secondary school. I wish all of my pupils will lern in such an atmosphere you gave us. A space where it is allow to do mistakes, a space, where you do not have fear of giving a wrong answer. Instead to have an opportunity to try, to learn and to increase and make enriching experience. The last days it was a pleasure for me.
I am so grateful about you and your way to teach. THANK YOU!

Dearest Nandi, it was amazing unbelievable lesson. I adore assisting but I knew not so many and today it was so beautiful and useful demonstration and teaching how to do this! Imagine, when I was looking at you I felt like you assisted me and actually enjoyed it!!!! Thank you 🙏 and dear Tarini. And of course our magic Yogini Kaliji!!!!JGD! Zurich, Switzerland
I am watching your June 11th work in the basics! And I love how softly you teach on the rolls…calling old misalignments or mistakes “progression” so gentle and affirmative. I also enjoy all of the skeletal information you give for alignment. I think a lot of science minds gravitate to your sharing of knowledge. I really enjoy learning from you!
JGD
NANDI,
I am loving hearing your sweet voice and learning from you in the Basics! Well done! so informative and soft and rhythmic! I am happy to be back!

Nandi is an extremely advanced practitioner and brings to the mat a wealth of experience about the human body’s marvelous capabilities. I have never met a yoga teacher who taught me to see my physical limitations as a package of insights to be unwrapped, not a burden to carry in the quest to be a “perfect” yogi. Nandi taught me a priceless lesson: that yoga practice is about so much more than poses and stretching. It is about the way you move and breathe in the world.
Nandi has a beautifully grounded energy and brings to the space a realness that makes even the most inexperienced yogi feel right at home. She is warm, humorous, and will always show you how to work with your own body to get the best possible experience. I cannot recommend her classes highly enough. She is a gift.

I have been a devoted Tri Yoga student since discovering the flow several years ago in Cairns, Queensland.
More recently I have attended two Level 2 Series 1and 2 trainings with Tri Yoga Teacher Penelope Foord in Ballarat, Victoria. This experience has taken my practice to another level.
Pene has drawn attention to details within my flow that somehow I have managed to completely be unaware. Some examples are dropping my hips when flowing from mountain into cat and dropping my head when I flow in cat bows. Most importantly Pene has brought to my attention the importance of flowing with my breath. She has also shown me the importance of using my blocks within my own personal practice. All of the above I know about and would notice in others, but somehow I had forgotten within my own practice.
Attending these trainings with Pene has improved my practice and teaching. Pene has emphasised the importance of “Basics” and I totally understand now.
I have written this testimonial in gratitude for the patience and knowledge that Pene has shared with me.
In the flow…..

JGD Darling Kaliji,
What TriYoga Teachers are Made of?
Neither rain, nor snow, nor dark of night, nor power outages nor Hurricanes can keep a Triyoga teacher from making her class.
As you know darling Chandra was visited by hurricane Hermine. However, this did not keep her from keeping her teacher training session with Theiry and I. In spite of a big mess at her house and no power, she flowed on using her precious cell phone battery and reading by flashlight. We had a very productive session and a great time.
I just wanted to give a little extra good Karma nod for her. She of course has had the best training in the cosmos so it should be no surprise that she is an unstoppable praana.

Nandi presents anatomy in such a clear and fun way (Who would have thought anatomy could be fun?) that it makes remembering and applying the information easy. She covered an incredible amount of information and still left plenty of time for practicing the flow and answering our many specific questions. This class will help every level of TriYoga student from beginner to teacher-in-training. I highly recommend it!

Chandra is really amazing. Her personal story, her long-time teaching experience, her language full of imagery and precise detailed descriptions are really inspiring to me as a teacher. Plus the way she interacts with students to help them: so caring and reassuring.
She is truly an excellent advocate for TriYoga and we hope to see her again really soon! But she should be in demand as a resource in many settings, for sure!

Thank you for sending dear Gina to us. We had very good training with her, first learning the proper alignments while working in pairs, and then incorporating how to work with students while in a class setting. She is a thoughtful, patient, and thoroughly knowledgeable teacher. It is such a blessing to be introduced to new teachers from California. Each one we meet adds new things to our repertoire.

Wonderful extraordinary class and so very lovely to spend this time with you. I dropped down quite deep and felt presence of an Immense Love inside, which was beyond words liberating. Brought tears – big joy.
