Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel honored to write this review for Shankari and Yogesh, two Spiritual Teachers  who have been instrumental in my personal growth.  I have studied with them for over 10 years first enrolling in their Ayurveda healing program and continuing to participate in their courses, workshops, and retreats. During times when I struggled to show up for myself, doubted my abilities or simply could not see a way out of suffering, Shankari believed in me and held a  patient space. Together, they have held a loving mirror that has helped me see the possibilities of living a happy and healthy life. Yogesh and Shankari run their business with incredible organization and progressiveness, all the while staying deeply rooted in the traditions of Yoga and Ayurveda. I’ve witnessed their journey of growth—not only as exceptional teachers and mentors but also as beautiful, shining individuals. Their light radiates into their students’ lives and the thriving community they’ve created. I’m continually inspired by their growth and dedication. I feel truly blessed to have them in my life and deeply grateful to be part of their journey. If you’re looking for teachers who blend wisdom, compassion, and authenticity, Yogesh and Shankari are truly unparalleled ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At the core yoga has made a profound impact on my life. Someone with chronic pain, this has helped immensely. Yogesh is a very professional instructor and enlightens us with positive messaging while doing it with humour. He helps us connect our minds to our bodies and provides education along the way.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AT THE CORE is an oasis of light and truth where participants are invited to lead a more balanced, healthy and free life. I have not only attended yoga classes for the past few years, but gone for meditation classes, vedic astrologic consultations, thai yoga massages and currently enrolled in the Ayurvedic Yoga Training certificate course. These programs have profoundly changed my life and the life of my family. If you are at all interested in pursuing Yoga, Meditation & Ayurveda you must give AT THE CORE a try!
