Shyamoli  Banerjee

Shyamoli Banerjee has been doing yoga as long as she can remember. She grew up in India "playing" asanas with her friends and listening to her grandmother tell her stories from Ramayana and Mahabharata. More recently, wanting to know more about yoga philosophy and practice, she signed up for Sianna Sherman's Immersion class, and ever since she has been a passionate practitioner of the heart-themed philosophy and practice of Anusara yoga. She thinks it is ironic that after growing up focusing westward and moving to California to be a part of leading-edge technology, she is now studying the wisdom and practices of her forefathers from the other end of the world.

She is Anusara Inspired certified teacher and has trained extensively with John Friend, Sianna Sherman and Kenny Graham. She also has studied Indian philosophy with Carlos Pomeda. She always finds ways to make it fun and engaging for kids to learn and practice yoga by weaving stories from mythology and scriptures into her class as well as asanas that help them learn to focus, to calm and pay attention. Shyamoli feels that kids are natural yogis, with their laughter, openness and enthusiasm for anything new. Parents always welcome to join.

Shyamoli has a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering and worked in computer companies before becoming a full time yoga instructor.
