Tenzing Yoga: Ashtanga Shala Pondicherry

Yoga with Tenzing is truly impressive From the very beginning, Tenzing observes her students with great attention and sensitivity. She understands the unique capacity of each individual and guides us with a meticulous and compassionate approach. Her clear and precise instructions build confidence within us, and the body naturally responds and flows under her guidance. Every session is dynamic, full of energy and intensity, yet deeply spiritual. Beyond the physical practice, she creates a sacred space where discipline, mindfulness, and inner peace come together. Each time I leave her class, I feel lighter, uplifted, and deeply connected Thank you so much Tenzing ‍♀️

I have been Tenzing’s child hood friend and student since 2022. She has inspired me and made me progress in my practice through her dedication and commitment. She is precise and a great guide to help us find the best way our body can adapt to the postures. At 54 what I am able to achieve on the practice mat is all thanks to Tenzing’s presence and encouragement.

I love this yoga shala! Tenzing is an exceptionally dedicated teacher who is personally invested in her students progress - not just in the asana practice but in their overall wellbeing as well. I have been her student for over 2 years and have experienced a remarkable change in my body due to the asana practice, and through this shala have found a community of yoga practitioners who are now close friends. I am very grateful to have access to such a wonderful yoga teacher and shala for my daily practice. And the best part is my dog Pichu ( ) is welcome too!

What I love about the class most is Tenzing's dedication to the practice. It's not a job or hobby, it's her way of life and thinking. She is extremely dedicated to the practice and to spreading it among students at a more affordable rate than generally ashtanga classes are available. I had been doing yoga for a few years before but I really felt my fitness and flexibility take a leap forward under her guidance. Her discipline is also something I appreciate because it is really needed to improve and progress in the practice. And lastly, her efforts to not just restrict the interactions to the yoga class but also beyond, in order to build a community of like minded practitioners is something which has helped a lot of newcomers to Pondicherry feel welcome and assimilated

This was by far the worst yoga experience I had during my entire time in India. The teacher was not welcoming at all and didn’t say a single friendly word. Instead, she embarrassed me for not bringing my own mat—after half a year of traveling through all kinds of landscapes, it’s just not something I carry. I was asked to practice on a mat that smelled strongly of dog, which was very unpleasant. At the end of the class, she commented that it seemed like I had never practiced her style of yoga yoga before. I actually have, but maybe next time, if someone from abroad joins your class, it would be better to show a little more understanding and openness towards cultural differences, rather than making guests feel unwelcome and humiliated.

The best yoga teacher in town !!! can't wait to come again.

J'aime beaucoup la pratique de Tenzing et je suis certaine qu'elle va me faire progresser. Merci Tenzing
