She is known for inviting her students and audiences directly into the “Heart of Sound,” the Self that shines through music and mantra, and has developed the world's first 200/500-hour Yoga Alliance RYT course based entirely on the transformational power of sound.
She has been on "the path" for more than 20 years and has been teaching and seeing private clients since 1998. Anandra is conversant in medical and scientific sound healing research, the latest in trauma treatment approaches using sound, cultural appropriation, and reverence for the Indian yogic traditions. She is based between Kaua'i island, Hawai'i and Rishikesh, India.
Anandra created Mantras for Peace, a service project run by volunteers and graduates of the Heart of Sound teacher training and featured in radio, TV, online, news media. Thousands of people are chanting for peace daily around the world.
She also created the Sacred Sound Stage at the prestigious International Yoga Festival in Rishikesh, India in 2017, to provide a platform for the yoga of sound to regain it's central role in the greater tradition of yoga.
She delights in every opportunity to bask in the glow of sacred sound with kindred spirits! Music is not FOR yoga; it IS yoga!
