About Rana

Rana has been drawn to the meditative, philosophical, mystical and spiritual aspects of Yoga for over two decades. About fifteen years ago, after her meditation teacher moved back to Europe, she took her first Yoga class. Preferring private instruction, to help delve into all the limbs of Yoga, she met her mentor, a Vedanta scholar and Teacher of close to 50 years. Rana always says, “India found me right where I was!” Soon after, Rana began feeling incredible benefits, and the desire to share and transmit the incredible transformative and therapeutic system that is YOGA.
