PRIVATE CLIENTS

"Harpinder's approach to cultivating a relationship with yoga is comprehensive and encompasses so many aspects of yoga that I was not even aware of until I began working with her. Her sessions incorporate readings from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, discussions on those readings; and education on all 8 limbs of yogic practice including meditative work, pranayama and asana. I loved the very intimate one on one nature of our sessions. You can feel that Harpinder sincerely cares for all her clients. She has the capacity to hold so much space and support. Harpinder's gentle and intuitive nature keeps her very aligned with her students and what they may need during their time with her. I also loved her flexibility in scheduling and her very extensive breadth of knowledge of both Yoga and Buddhism". - Allison H.

"10/10 recommend working with Harpinder. I had always wanted to take yoga classes, but struggled for years to find a non-white practitioner/a class that didn’t feel like it was culturally appropriating. That changed when I was connected with Harpinder.

I began taking private classes with Harpinder during the first trimester of my first pregnancy. We worked together weekly until my delivery date. Each class began with a check-in, where Harpinder made space for whatever I needed to bring to the table that day—chronic pain, anxiety, stress, exhaustion. Once we checked in, she would approach each class tailored to what I needed/could manage that day. As my pregnancy advanced, she altered asana practice to meet the needs of my changing body. She also helped me learn various breath techniques for labor.

Aside from the more “practical” aspects of classes, Harpinder created such a calm and gentle space. It felt like she was so grounded in her own spirituality, that it so easily flowed into her work. It didn’t feel forced in any way—I felt very connected to each class.

No matter where I was at, I never felt judged. I really felt like there was space to bring my whole self to the table. Especially during the ups and downs of pregnancy, I was able to be vulnerable and share the lows and the highs with Harpinder—and she adjusted each session to meet me where I was at.

I absolutely recommend working with Harpinder. I’m so grateful I found her and was able to work with her during such an important moment in my life. I hope to be able to work with her again as soon as I have a little more consistency in my life. With that being said—as inconsistent as life is with a newborn—I still use the movement and breathwork tools she taught me every day, in order to stay grounded in my mind and body." - Sowmya S.

"Absolutely phenomenal yoga teacher! Enjoyed learning from her. Very knowledgeable and kind." - Tishangi K.

"For the first time in my life, I decided to start yoga and luckily for me I met Harpinder. She is a really great yoga professional! She has extensive yoga experience and she is very well-read. She has a very individualized technique. She designed my yoga routine uniquely for my needs and she is constantly adjusting it based on my progress and my overall well-being. Harpinder is a very responsible person and she is always on time. I have already taken 20 classes with Harpinder and I plan on taking more. I greatly recommend Harpinder if you are looking for a yoga instructor!" - Izolda M.

"Harpinder was incredible! I bought this session as a gift to my wife, who in the past had only taken youtube yoga lesssons. After the class, my wife said that she learned more from Harpinder's class than she did in years of using yoga." - Justin T.

"Working with Harpinder has been such an amazing experience! My interest in her meditation services started in 2021 where she led a meditation in a retreat. Her approach in meditation was very different from those that I encountered and I was able to access a vision that happened in 2022. Divine timing allowed us to work together this year after she returned from India to dive into further meditation studies and I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher for Yogic and meditative knowledge." - Erika A.

"I am so thankful that I found Harpinder to help guide me through my yoga practice. It had been two years since I had done yoga, but she made me feel completely at ease during my private lesson. Each week she has created an individualized class to match my needs and progress. Her classes have saved my sanity and I look forward to continuing to learn from her." - Ginger C.

"I am grateful to find such a grounding, compassionate, inspiring and positive yoga teacher in Harpinder. She teaches so that it is so safe and inviting. I would recommend Harpinder to anyone who wants to experience yoga in such a kind and positive way. She will always be welcoming and accommodating to anyone she teaches." - Taetrece H.

“I highly recommend working with Harpinder! I recently had the opportunity to take her Yoga for Anxiety workshop, which offered a safe and supportive container for our group to explore the roots of our anxiety, deepen our yoga practice, learn various tools for regulating the nervous system, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with challenging emotions. Harpinder skillfully interweaves her lived experience with her professional expertise in a way that is informative, accessible, and relatable. I especially valued the community-oriented focus of the workshop, bringing a critical lens to the systemic forces that contribute to anxiety, and finding solace and solidarity in remembering we are fundamentally interconnected and never alone. Finally, I deeply appreciate how Harpinder took the time and care to develop a relationship with each of us individually. She is an absolute gem of a human and yoga teacher!” - Brandy T.

“Taking part in Harpinder’s Yoga for Anxiety course helped me reframe my relationship with my anxiety. Now when I get anxious, instead of reacting with anger, I try to come from a place of care and remind myself to ask myself what I need. Harpinder created the nurturing space, framework, and community for me to deeply reflect on the connection between my anxiety and the way I show up in the world as both privileged and oppressed. By inviting me to look closely at my reactions to experiencing anxiety and giving me tools to meet my anxiety with compassion (breath, asana, faith etc.), Harpinder helped me begin building habits to settle my mind and check-in with myself on a regular basis.” - Renee M.

ORGANIZATIONS & GROUPS

“I have nothing but positive things to say about Harpinder! I am Executive Director for Pandion Music Foundation, and hired Harpinder to lead a wellness workshop for youth between the ages of 14-18 from under-resourced communities in Los Angeles for a music camp we were running earlier this month. Harpinder carried herself with such grace, and I immediately felt a calmness in her presence when she walked through the door. This balance and centeredness was beautifully passed on to our camp students during her lesson. She connected with the kids in such a brilliant way -- helping them express themselves through movement and wellness. I snapped the greatest photo of Harpinder leading the students in a dance/movement circle around the room, which I thought perfectly depicted Harpinder's joy and ability to connect with these youth, many of whom had never practiced wellness techniques before. Thank you Harpinder for bringing wellness to these kids in the most beautiful way!” - Jordan S.

"My student organization requested Harpinder's help with instructing a meditative/restorative session to help us cope with school stress and finals. To say that she delivered would be a massive understatement. Harpinder guided us in an incredible meditation and had us all leaving refreshed, relaxed and excited.

“Our nonprofit has worked with Harpinder on 2 separate occasions now and each experience has provided healing moments for our staff. The first time we brought her in to facilitate a memorial for a dear colleague who passed away a year prior. The second session was to provide a decompress/grounding moment for staff. She brings her bright spirit and intelligent self to each session, and in planning communications. Her professionalism is surpassed only by her caring nature! I highly recommend her for any type of meditation/yoga you want facilitated for your team.” - Victoria G.

“In the past 3 years, I've had the privilege of Harpinder Mann lead a yoga and meditation session for my women of color clients. Unlike any yoga session myself and any of my clients have attended, Harpinder creates a safe space and teaches us the roots of yoga In comparison to what we see in this Westernized world. Harpinder teaches and honors from her cultural and ancestral lineage and it is a gift to be enlightened by her. I highly recommend hiring Harpinder to lead a yoga workshop, session, speaker and teacher.” - Elanie C.

She was mindful of ability, level of awareness around the practice, and how we could engage folks in-person and remotely. Her approach to teaching about yoga was grounded and real--incredibly insightful for newcomers and long-time practitioners. Her attitude was professional and her demeanor was warm. Loved working with her and am grateful to be connected to such a wonderful human.” - Stephanie P.

“Harpinder was an amazing partner for Fender's AANHPI Heritage Month event; leading up to our morning mindfulness/yoga session, Harpinder took the time to meet with my partner and me, asked thoughtful questions about our goals and expectations for the event, and invested energy into making a deep impact on our participants. We're so happy to have made this connection and look forward to future opportunities to collaborate with Harpinder!” - Lily P.
