"I decided to add personal yoga classes with my group instructor, Sandi . I wasn’t sure the privates would help me and whether the extra expense would actually be worth it . I was happily surprised , with the extra personal coaching, I feel I’ve made great improvements! The proper breathing techniques might be the hardest to achieve!! Sandi is extremely knowledgeable about yoga and fitness , and just a genuine nice person to work with."

"A brief but heartfelt Thank You for all you do to make our water aerobics class so enjoyable. You are an amazing leader, teacher and cheerleader; I so look forward to our time together in the water. Love that you also incorporate the spiritual (yoga, quiet time honoring the body with spontaneous movement) as part of our sessions. It's a total experience, and you are the real deal. Very grateful - thanks so much!!"

"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."

“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."

"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."

"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.”

“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."
