Captivated by the powerful connection that kirtan creates\, Śraddhā embraced the practice as a way to uplift and unite communities. Since then\, she has immersed herself in the study of Sanskrit\, mantra\, yoga\, and meditation\, which has shaped her approach as a facilitator. Whether leading kirtan at festivals\, retreats\, or intimate gatherings\, her unique voice and grounded energy create a space where participants can liberate\, uplift\, and connect. \n  \nTiffany is an International Teacher of the Heart\, an Ayurvedic Practitioner\, and the founder of Vichara Yoga & RASA Ayurveda. She is especially known for bringing clarity\, joyful energy and aspiration for revealing truth into each of her seamless offerings of Yoga\, Meditation\, Ayurveda & Tantra. The teachings that pour through her are a direct expression of her visibly open heart\, coupled with a depth of presence. At present\, Tiffany lives in the forested hills of Quebec\, where she teaches at her Vichara Yoga Shala\, and offers Ayurvedic Consultations in her cozy clinic and online. She also continues to travel worldwide offering Retreats\, Trainings and Immersions. \n  \n  \nGET TO KNOW THE BEAUTIFUL CASA ARKAANA… \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n  \n  \nLimited Spots are available – Register Now!
