    Eric H., Wellness Director at Southwest Florida YMCA (formerly CoreSRQ), 2023

  • "Although I was unsure what what to expect when I signed up for the Mysore Ashtanga Yoga workshop, Sandi immediately put my mind to ease, and I was hooked by the end of the first session! I loved that from Sandi I learned not only how to self guide through the various Asanas, but also gained a deeper understanding of the practice of yoga in general."

    Donna K., Ashtanga Yoga at Wild Ginger Apothecary, 2023

  • “Sandi is a wonderfully warm and compassionate teacher. I cannot begin to express her passion for learning and her dedication to inspiring learning in others. The depth of understanding she has for philosophical material is only surpassed by her embodiment of the philosophies she shares. Sandi’s presentations always provide an accessible environment of inclusivity... Her sessions are highly anticipated and attended."

    Christine M., Restorative Yoga and Yoga Philosophy at Yoga Alliance, 2022

  • "She is by far my favorite teacher and I try never to miss any of her classes! Having taught and performed North Indian classical and folk dance forms and having studied yoga for 5 decades myself, I feel confident in attesting Sandi’s knowledge and respect for these practices. I truly appreciate the wonderful energy and expertise that Sandi brings to her classes."

    Mekhala N., Dance Fitness and Restorative Yoga at Boulder Parks and Recreation, 2021

  • “Sandi is an incredible yoga teacher, among many other things. We partnered with Sandi in a new health and wellness initiative we started in 2020, and we are so glad we did.”

    Jason H., Outdoor Yoga and Meditative Hiking at the Colorado Chautauqua, 2020

  • "Many can walk you through poses, but Sandi’s in-depth knowledge of body and specific verbal cues helped me achieve nuances during my practice that had been missing, and the time would fly by. And if you’re the type of person that likes adjustments and assisted depth in a pose she has the expertise and compassion to guide with comfort. She’s also knowledgeable about the extensive spiritual side of yoga and a calm, encouraging presence for the meditative aspects.”

    Cheryln S., Ashtanga Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga at The Colorado Athletic Club, 2019

  • “Sandi is a dedicated yoga teacher who taught Yoga at Parks as a part of the Bergen County Health Initiative. The Park patrons who participated in her series appreciated her ability to interpret Ashtanga Yoga and make the practice such a joyful experience.”

    Ron S., Assistant Director at Bergen County Parks and Recreation, 2018

  • “Sandi’s classes are very informative and practical at the same time… a good work out for my body and a lot of nourishment for my soul.”

    Shahlo, Hatha Yoga at The New York College of Health Professions, 2017

  • “I have served NYC Parks for nearly eight years and in this role I have recruited and placed hundreds of people in various positions throughout the Agency and City. I would count Ms. Higgins as one of the strongest and most grounded employees I have worked with during this time. As part of the Recreation Divisons programming staff, Ms. Higgins brought a unique blend of skill and enthusiasm to serve all New Yorkers. Of course she led a variety of Yoga classes for people of all ages, a skill base which she maintained through continuous practice and constant training and certification."

    Paul F., Chief of Staff at the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation, 2016
