Amazing yoga teacher. He came to our hotel and we did yoga by the sea. He was patient, gave clear instructions and fun and smiley. We had a great hour class 🙌

Both group and private classes were amazing. They were done in the nearby temple which in itself is rather special. Darshana is a great teacher who offers plenty moments during and after the class to explain postures and gestures and breathing excercises.
Thank you! i woukd recommend this to anyone!

Dharshana‘s yoga classes were the best part of my vacation in Sri Lanka. I have a new body feeling and feel more in harmony with myself. Dharshana is a really special person, I was really impressed by him. I will really miss his classes and all the positions I learned. Thank you very much 🙏
