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 🙏

Thank you to Darshana's yoga class in February 2025 in Bentota. He has a deep understanding of yoga and empathetically responds to individual needs. I had private lessons; they were affordable, and we communicated in English. We practiced on both the asana and energetic levels, which was intense and healing. I wholeheartedly recommend him.
