testimonials
My first encounter of the teachings of Kundalini Yoga was at Nancy’s Yoga Festival class, where she was teaching almost 80 people at once. Her clarity, power, creativity and shining brightness are gifts of a healing vibration that she shares with all. I was instantly attracted to the grace and subtlety of the practice while at the same time feeling the depth of the work on my body and the long term effects on my subconscious. My heart instantly recognized that there was a lot for me to learn and discover from the Kundalini Yoga path. I started attending classes and decided to become a teacher. Nancy emits calmness, compassion, deep knowledge and expression of Kundalini Yoga, her energy is filled with love, service, creativity and clear integrity – there is no better way to discover the teachings of Kundalini Yoga than from the artful, tasteful and incredibly pure transmission of Nancy.

Nancy embodies all that is meaningful and practical about spiritual and physical well-being. She is a consummate healer and source of positive energy in everything she does bringing not only a deep understanding of personal life challenges, how to develop coping strategies and protect one’s health but also having a very strong grasp of the way the world is. Her background in political science coupled with her deep expertise in yoga, NLP and other spiritual and physical learning unite to create a very unique and special life consultant on how we can all live a better life and be a better person. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is struggling to find direction either personally or professionally and who is seeking out meaningful, practical and applicable solutions. She is by far the best in her field.

Yoga never spoke to me, though I always wanted it to. For years, I tried different classes and teachers across several continents. I flitted between studios searching for something that was more than an exercise of the body, but never found something that could sustain my engagement. Some teachers told me that my problem was a lack of commitment, that I had to approach my practice with a determined mind, but I thought of it differently: I believed my commitment could not just be of the mind – it would have to be an embodied experience. Studying Kundalini Yoga with Nancy has brought me to a place where I can feel ancient knowledge and wisdom integrating with the self. The practice is more than asanas and breathing – it is an awakening that continues to shift within me. Nancy is a generous teacher who guides her students with a gentle, clear energy towards their potential. Incorporating motion and stillness, silence and vibration, she helps her students to look inwards and out without fear and judgment, to engage the world with more lucid purpose. I am in gratitude that she has led me to this infinite technology.

Hari Darshan Kaur is incredible at channeling the kundalini teachings in a poised and articulate way. Her sincere understanding of herself along with her sharpness supports her in being a wise teacher.

I knew as soon as I experienced my first class, that I couldn´t find a better mentor to deepen my practice. Nancy's passion, vibration, kindness and especially her way of making difficult things accessible inspire you further into the transformational journey of Kundalini Yoga. Nancy consistently reminds us that our practice is a mirror of life - that as we learn to face the challenges of a particular sequence, we are building up our strength for life's often unpredictable daily struggles. Nancy approaches the teachings with love and devotion. I am grateful that she shares this.

I started my journey in Kundalini Yoga a little over a year ago, and since the beginning Nancy has given me and the community a chance to connect and grow beyond what we could imagine. She has supported me on a personal level to breakthrough my limitations and inspired me to adopt this practice for life – Thank you Nancy.

The simplest words express the biggest things: Nancy simply thank you. Thank you for being an inspiration. Thank you for giving us a beautiful taste of life. Thank you for the breathing. Thank you for the love. Thank you for the support. Thank you for being such a true person. You are a diamond.

I would absolutely recommend Nancy to anyone interested in exploring Kundalini Yoga. Nancy has an endearing teaching style and her deep and sincere reverence for the Kundalini practice shines through her spirit, soul and classes. In December 2018 I had the immense pleasure to take a deep dive into this yoga practice and spend 5 days in Sri Lanka on a retreat led by Nancy. The education and the dynamic that she shares is something that cannot easily be experienced elsewhere!

The beautiful teachings of Kundalini Yoga literally fell into my lap by luck. I first met Nancy and was lifted by her energy, presence & glow. She told me about this practice and encouraged me to try it. Tried it, I did. I had tried many things before, but this is something that calls me. When I’m not practicing there is something missing - it’s completely balancing. I was always searching for something spiritual and I know I’ve found it in a practice that is mentally & physically challenging yet so insightful. It’s completely mind, body & soul. And with these teachings you slowly start to apply them to your daily life and little as well as big things begin to shift. You will notice the miracles and it becomes a way of life. Nancy’s classes are amazing. Her passion is obviously clear. Her knowledge touches you. Her way of teaching inspires you and for this I’m so grateful and feel blessed that I’ve found what I was always searching for and am now continuing to learn & grow - or truly trying to!

I have been to yoga retreats in the past but nothing made me journey as deeply inward as my retreats with Nancy – Hari Darshan Kaur. It started in 2018 in Sri Lanka in a humble, but beautiful resort and in 2019 in exceptional Zanzibar where, in both cases, I experienced the true meaning of a retreat. Nancy taught me to slow down, enjoy the environment that surrounded me, while feeding my body with exquisite food and my soul & mind with exceptional spiritual teachings. On every retreat, we start the day with a morning practice that awakens our soul and prepares us for the day; we also practice Sadhana from 5:30am on at least one of the retreat days. The free time in between sessions allows us to pause, observe and process. The afternoon session sheds the light on hidden inner obstacles & emotions. For me, they open me up, allow me to confront my blockages and bring me closer to my true self, my essence. On both retreats, we incorporated at least one community outreach that adds depth to our experience with the locals and helps us to count our blessings with gratitude; this is so rewarding and supports a different perspective to life.

Kundalini Yoga has been in my life for several years. Now with Nancy to guide me, the depth and bliss of my practice has increased. As the consummate perfectionist that she is, every touchpoint of her classes is superb. From the music and the cuing, to the choice of kriyas; Nancy unveils an experience that is both mystical and physical. The true union of body and soul.

Sat Nam. The very first mantra I learned after attending my first Kundalini Yoga class. Sat Nam. A reminder that “truth is my name…truth is my identity.” Sat Nam. A mantra that acknowledges that the ‘Great Mystery’ is simply who we are. Sat Nam. A gift and a path that - Nancy a.k.a. Hari Darshan Kaur has opened up for me, and many others, to experience. Alexandra Trenfor said that “the best teachers are those who show you where to look, but don’t tell you what to see.” When someone is telling you what to see, you aren’t being taught to think, you are being told what to think. But if someone holds the space for you to be able to observe closely and to feel safe in having a unique experience, a sense of curiosity ignites and it becomes a powerful force that can nourish a certain longing. Our dearest Hari Darshan holds that kind of space. Hari Darshan is a true teacher. She is committed to the practice, and has made it a mission to share her passion for Kundalini Yoga. She walks in grace, and you feel that every time you attend her class. I credit her for inspiring me to learn more about Kundalini Yoga and to seek my own personal yoga journey. She is a beautiful soul and a wonderful channel of this sacred practice."

Wow what a pleasure to be a part of such a warm and welcoming heart. After attending my first Kundalini yoga class with Nancy, I realized there were other plans being made for me in life and was inspired to do the teacher training. For me, it was the experience of my soul being touched by Nancy and through her the teachings, and all I knew was that a path was being sent for me to follow. Nancy leads by example, honouring the way of the peaceful warrior, she shines with dignity and modesty as do all those lit by the inner light of Kundalini yoga. Her kindness and ability to understand what each person feels in the class is priceless; as though she is clearing the path without making too much noise, all the while keeping her students safe and secure. Like she disappears all of a sudden into the big jungle of the world to keep you going on your own, living your potency, and only returning, when there is a necessity. She lights your path and holds your hand until its time for you to fly solo, watching you from afar and ensuring that the path remains lit. It is a privilege to work with her and at the same time be her student. I highly recommend for everyone to attend at least one class with Nancy.
