Sharp Venture Classical Yoga

Rated 5.0 Rajashree is a great Yogi. She's patient, stern, kind, compassionate, thoughtful, traditional, and genuinely herself. I have taken Bhuta Shuddhi, Angamardana, Surya Kriya, and Yogasana. I couldn't have had a better experience as well as teacher.

Rated 5.0 TL;DR: Totally worth it. Come see it for yourself. The studio has a wonderful vibe. Calm, open, and clean. Very helpful for deepening one’s awareness. It also has a guest area for overnight stays. I came from out of town for a few days of intensive classical hatha yoga experience. The place was comfortable and Rajashree was a wonderful teacher and host. I learned Jala Neti, Isha eye care, Angamardana, Surya Kriya, and Bhuta Shuddhi during my trip. Each workshop was methodically planned. It includes clear and detailed instruction for every part of the sequence. It also incorporates enough repetitions so that one has a chance to let the yoga sink in. In between repetitions the teacher also provides feedback so we could incorporate the corrections in the next round. Even though I learned a quite a number of different processes, I was able to remember what needed to be done. (And if I had any question, Rajashree was available for clarification and reminder) I have been practicing the sequences daily since learning them. The effect is quite dramatic. They are gently but powerfully changing how I carry myself. I have been able to notice and get rid of many little physical bad habits. I notice my flexibility has improved, and the body as a whole feels lighter. Having been a yoga practitioner for about 6 years prior to learning Sadhguru’s Classical Hatha Yoga, I can say this is by far the most powerful one. My meditation practice has also improved: I was able to sit more comfortably and with a little deeper stillness. This fact alone is a win for me. I cannot recommend this studio and Isha Hatha yoga enough!!

Rated 5.0 I traveled from out of state just to do Hatha Yoga training with Rajashree because of the high quality of the training she has received. I decided to make the trip because I want to learn true classical Hatha Yoga. I signed up for 3 classes in one weekend and I am excited that this is just the beginning of my yoga experience. I cannot emphasize how important it is to learn yoga the right way, from someone classically trained in India under world-class guidance. This sense and knowledge was definitely passed on to me during the weekend, and will stay with me. Isha programs are incredible and life changing, and I don't hesitate to say, I think the training I did with Rajashree will have the same impact on my life.

Rated 5.0 I did my AngaMardhana course here and it helped me a lot . The teacher is very patient and helps you a lot . The place where we do yoga is also very good . I recommend to try out courses here . Yoga taught here is in purest form

Rated 5.0 I took Angamardana class in May 2020. When explained my situation, Rajashree suggested Angamardana. I really like the way she taught and additional steps and suggestions she provided for doing the Yoga correctly. The Studio is in a great location, spacious, beautiful and pleasant atmosphere which provides a nice environment for learning Yoga

Rated 5.0 Great place to learn classical hatha yoga, from an instructor who has gotten her hatha yoga training from the legendary Isha Institute of Inner Sciences. Rajashree's studio is located in a very nice part of town, and her studio is very clean. It's clear that she is dedicated to creating a very conducive, clean and peaceful learning environment for her students. She is very knowledgeable in the programs that she teaches, and she was patient with me; she answered all my questions. When I went to her studio, it honestly felt like I was home. She even made a home cooked meal for me after our yoga session; and gave me information of eating a diet more conducive to the yoga I am doing. Based on my experience with her, I can confidently say that she genuinely cares for all of her students. I would highly recommend Rajashree as a yoga teacher, for those who are willing to bring well being into their life. Reach out to her, she is a wonderful person.

Rated 5.0 My experience learning angamardana was excellent. The space was peaceful, clean, and welcoming. Raj is a precise teacher who is encouraging and thorough. I am grateful for this new practice!

Rated 5.0 I learnt Hatha Yoga and Surya Kriya from Rajashree about 20 days ago. It was the best decision. Rajashree is an excellent teacher, patient, calm, caring and very professional. The Studio is clean and serene with nice ambience. I am continuing the yoga practices that I learnt every morning and the practices have boosted my energy levels significantly. I am grateful to Rajashree for teaching me this. I would highly recommend this place for learning yoga.

Rated 5.0 Rajashree is a fantastic teacher! If you're in Atlanta (or anywhere else in the southeast), Sharp Venture Classical Yoga is a phenomenal place to go to learn any Hatha Yoga practice certified by Isha. I've taken both Yogasanas and Jala Neti with Rajashree and both programs were great. Jala neti helped improve my breathing tremendously and was very quick and easy to learn. Yogasanas on the other hand was much more elaborate, but after the final session of the program I really felt like I understood all the instructions and could do everything at home on my own. I've continued to do yogasanas at home and it's been a very beautiful process. If you're looking to learn any of the Isha Hatha Practices I would highly recommend you come here!

Rated 5.0 I attended Angamardha Yoga classes, the quality of instruction and practice has been fantastic. Thank you very much Rajashree madam

Rated 5.0 I attended two days of Angamardana yoga workshop taught by Rajasharee in August 2020. One of the best yoga classes ever experienced. Rajasharee is a well-trained teacher and very patient to help students to become comfortable with all the postures. She was also available to answer to any of my questions After I returned home. I am planning to register for more yoga workshops with her in future soon.????????

Rated 5.0 I took the Yogasanas class over the weekend and was glad I did. I had been searching for someone to teach Classical Hatha yoga not a westernized version. Rajashree was kind and made accommodations for my lack of flexibility. I enjoyed the way the class was structured and feel like it was a great way to learn the postures. I feel like I will see great benefits from this practice in the future.

Rated 5.0 I was diagnosed with gillian barre syndrome (gbs) about a year ago. I suffered from pain in the upper back and numbness and tingling in my hands and feet. I had 10 sessions with Rajashree via zoom. She was an amazing instructor. Since those sessions my back pain disappeared and the neuropathy in my upper extremities diminished. I totally recommend her services for anyone with back pain, neuropathy, arthritis or any aches and pain. It will be a life changing experience.

Rated 5.0 I recently completed the Angamardana program. I was so lucky to have Rajashree-ji as my instructor and could not have asked for more. She is extremely thorough, very patient and ensures everyone in class is doing the practices in the right way. I was initially intimidated by the postures but she was very encouraging and motivated me every step of the way. Additionally, her studio is in a very nice location, very clean and serene. I look forward to having more sessions and programs with her in the near future. Would strongly recommend Rajashree-ji to anyone interested in learning yoga.

Rated 5.0 I would recommend everyone Hatha yoga to keep Balance in both mind and body. Rajashree is an awesome teacher. She was slow and thorough with focusing on the process and that really helped me learn the yoga practices. I it is very hard for me to learn something new but Rajashree was awesome in teaching me the process and I was able to learn the long process with very little resistance immediately I felt Balance and calmness of my mind. I love the studio.

Rated 5.0 Rajashree Kanetkar is a perfect guru if you are looking to learn Hatha Yoga practices. I did learn Bhuta Suddhi and Angamardhana from her. Both of these practices tremendously enhance life within us and looking for learning more. Ambience of the yoga studio is a big boost for learning. Another advantage is you can buy Isha Shoppe items instantly from her anytime and skip the shipping delays. Thank you, Rajashree! :-)

Rated 5.0 I've started here about a week ago for angamardhana but, I'm already feeling a lot of changes in my body. Compared to going to the gym, this is a much better alternative and trains you mentally as well. The teacher, Rajashree is very good at guiding you with poses. Other than that, the studio is very peaceful and helps you a lot to focus. I'd definitely recommend this place for Yoga. One of the signification changes I noticed within my body is after a few weeks of consistent practice of Angamardhana, I was able to see benefits of this practice. I used to have digestion issues but, this practice helped me a lot with these issues. I was so happy that I can eat whatever I want.

Rated 5.0 Rajashree does an awesome job of teaching. I learned angamardhana from her in a workshop in May and loved it. The studio is beautiful as well!

Rated 5.0 This is my first Hatha ISHA program. I was waiting for ISHA programs to start after lockdown. I found this available in Atlanta from ISHA website under certified Hatha programs. I travelled from OHIO and it was worth the trip. I had the same experience that I had after my first ISHA program. I recommend people living around atlanta and living far away to visit this place.

Rated 5.0 My girlfriend and I learned about Angamardana from my brother, who started learning the practice a couple weeks prior to us starting. He told us about the health and spiritual benefits of the practice and we were sold. We scheduled our first workshop with Rajashree and were excited to start, not truly knowing what to expect. I had taken a couple Isha programs before but this would be the first for my girlfriend. When we first met Rajashree and started learning Angamardana we knew we had made a great choice. Rajashree is extremely kind and a fantastic instructor! The practice itself is a great challenge and we always feel refreshed, accomplished, and happy after we finish a session. We really look forward to seeing how this practice will improve our wellbeing. I would recommend Angamardana to anyone looking to maintain a healthy body and mind

Rated 5.0 I had an amazing experience and will recommend to everyone. She is very professional and gives good instructions, the venue is exceptionally clean and neat. I would most defiantly go again and again. Thank you.

Rated 5.0 Immediately the studio evoked the presents of Sadhguru, devotion & the spiritual essence of Hatha yoga. My first practice of "Surya kriya" was a great enlightening experience, Instructor Rajashree was professional yet jovial, she helped us to experience the importance of proper postures & the importance of holding the body in the positions as instructed, for the great benefits of the practice. I definitely look forward to continue more sessions with her.????. I recently went back & covered two practices; yogasanas & angamardana. Yogasanas is highly spiritual, with daily practice it teaches me how to carry my body with a certain poised precision also how to keep my intellect feeding more from my conscious awareness, lots more. Angamardana is strictly momentum, the perfect excersise regimen that is suitable for anyone, especially if you dislike the boredom of going to the gym yet no results. I cancelled my gym membership. I found the this fitness program that activates parts of my body & brain that I have never been aware of, every inch of your body is excersized, leaving me with a free flowing energy system. The best is yet to come, I eagerly look forward to all the other practices.

Rated 5.0 I learnt Angamardana from Rajashree a couple months ago. I'm not very flexible physically nor athletic, but Rajashree gave me confidence and taught me how to adapt in the correct way. She is very calm and kind. The studio space is wonderful and clean, especially in the pandemic. I have continued to practice for the most part and I feel stronger and more flexible than before in just 2 months of practice. I can actually feel my body alignment so much improved even while doing simple things like walking etc. My lower back ache issues have almost disappeared. I would highly recommend this practice and specifically Sharp Venture Classical Yoga. Thanks.

Rated 5.0 I had a transformative experience with Rajashree. Truly speechless. The practices were intense, healing and focused. Something I’ll never forget. I wish I could bring all my family and friends to her space to receive Yoga in the way it was designed to be shared!

Rated 5.0 I have attend two yoga programs in this facility, yogasanas last year and this year eye care program. This facility is unique in teaching, the place follows classic hatha yoga. Rajashree is very experienced teacher, she is very responsive and follows up regularly so that you keep practicing during the initial days. She keeps individual attention and provides you additional help with the practices based on your flexibility level. The center also provides you correction classes if you feel the need to correct your postures at a later point of time. I have been delegently practicing yoga for an year now. These are the many benefits i have noticed. - Flexibility has improved - Able to complete 3 miles run, i was having difficult after a mile and a half before - Energy levels are high through out the day - Over all food habits has improved, no more cravings for snacks or coffee - Anxiety and worries has come down. I strongly recommend learning classical yoga and make it part of your life

Rated 5.0 In our sticky mat view of yoga in the US it is hard to find a place that addresses yoga in its fullest dimensions. Sharp Venture Classical Yoga does just that. Rajashree delivers unfiltered traditional yoga practices that fully address physical development while opening the door to limitless experience on every level. She teaches in a traditional way while still allowing and encouraging each practitioner to begin where they are and work at a level that meets their current needs. My son and I just took the Angamardana course and the effects of this work on my body in only seven days are amazing. It has enhanced all of my other practices and prepared me for further yogic practices as well. Class groups are small so you get lots of personal attention. Rajashree knows how to let the practice be the main event while she guides with all necessary information and correction. She brings no ego to the training and offers her work in complete generosity from a wealth of knowledge and experience. As a fitness professional and lifetime movement practitioner many people ask me if I know a good place to take yoga. Well now I do, and I will tell them if you want the real deal then go work with Rajashree at SVC

Rated 5.0 This yoga studio setup with beautiful & conducive atmosphere to support learning yoga. I have learnt Angamardana from Rajashree. She has lot of patience and is much supportive in making the participants learn and do the asanas on their own. I got lucky to have one-on-one classes in current lock-down situation. She also provides support after the class is complete. I would love to attend another hatha yoga class with SVC yoga studio and recommend these yoga classes for anyone who is looking to learn classical yoga in its original nature.

Rated 5.0 Sharp venture is a clean and ordered environment to learn classical yoga. Rajashree is dedicated to imparting the lessons in a manner in which I would expect the traditional yogis would have done. Her “no nonsense approach and clear directions” were very helpful. She cares that you get it and she is willing to work with you to do so. That’s why I will be continuing me yogic journey in other disciplines of Hatha yoga with her. She represents Isha very well. Sadhguru would be proud. Peace. Namaskaram

Rated 5.0 Wonderful teacher. Very patient and caring.

Rated 5.0 Rajashree is a competent and patient yoga guru. I took several sessions with her and would highly recommended for anyone who is interested in learning classical Yoga.

Rated 5.0 Excellent place to do yoga! Nice Workshop!

Rated 5.0 I started at Sharp Venture Classical Yoga, in the beginning of August. It has been a great experience so far. Angamardhana practice even after the first few sessions left me refreshed. The atmosphere is so calm and peaceful and a new one. I would really recommend trying out this place and kudos to Rajashree who is so committed to teaching yoga.

Rated 5.0 Rajashree is an excellent, attentive to detail, very patient hatha yoga teacher. She taught me yoga asana with such a preciseness and dedication that I must say if one looking for a process of learning himself physically, mentally or beyond, then you must contact her. She is more of a yogi than yoga teacher. Highly recommend.

Rated 5.0 I took the weekend sessions to learn Yogasanas at Rajashree‘s studio. It’s a very conducive environment to learn as well as to practice, and she is an excellent teacher.

Rated 5.0 I learnt Yogasanas from Rajashree in the year 2015 at Charlotte and have been pracitising it everyday since then. She was very meticulous in the training and was helpful in clearing the doubts. Practicing yogasanas everyday has made my body stable and light. All the physical activities I engage in has been effortless. I would definitely recommend Rajashree for learning Hatha Yoga.

Rated 5.0 I am practicing yoga for long time and went for correction. Rajashree initiated me into different (Surya Kriya, Angamardana , Bhuta Shuddhi) hatha yoga practices. She is a very patient, detail-oriented and Non judgment attention teacher and making sure I do the poses correctly. SVC studio offers a calm, Unpretentious atmosphere and welcoming "stay-awhile and relax" environment. Great environment for learning and Practicing Hatha Yoga with excellent teacher!

Rated 5.0 Best place very calm and meditative environment in the studio. Rajashree is the best yoga teacher from whom I have learned in the past. Recently I learned eye Care from Rajashree along with my family and friends . She is just email or a call away whenever I need any help in my practices. I will definitely keep learning from her more in future. Thank you Rajashree!!!

Rated 5.0 I learned Upayoga and Surya Shakti with Rajashree for two weeks. She is an amazing teacher and provides very clear instructions of the process. Also, she is very approachable and gives constructive feedback which helps me improve. On top of this, the ambiance is very calm and is the perfect place to practice yoga.

Rated 5.0 I learned Yogasanas from Rajashree a few weeks ago and it has benefited me greatly. Her studio is a very calm and conducive environment for learning. She is also a very patient, detail-oriented, and considerate teacher it was an honor to learn from her.

Rated 5.0 Authentic and Best Yoga class which you can pick it up and do it on your own every day.

Rated 5.0 The yoga teacher is great at imparting classical Hatha yoga practices. You can reach out to her for any practice support post learning. I would recommend this place if you want to take up yoga practices seriously.

Rated 5.0 The class was good and the stretches were beneficial but Ms Rajashree spoke very quietly and it was difficult to hear her.

Rated 5.0 Located in a beautiful calm atmosphere , the studio creates conducive atmosphere for Yoga . I have learnt Surya Shakti, Surya Kriya and Bhuta Shuddhi from Ms. Rajashree and find her very patient, knowledgeable and supportive. I look forward to learn other Kriyas and Yogasanas in near future. Thank You !!

Rated 5.0 Enjoyed learning from Rajashree! Very patient and attentive! Look forward to learning more from her!

Rated 5.0 One of those few places that offer pure classical yoga. Teacher is very knowledgeable, studio is very well kept and location is convinient. Looking forward to learn and practice more!!!

Rated 5.0 I've taken a lot of yoga classes over the years and this was of a different caliber entirely. The presentation, quality of instruction, and obvious high level of training that Rajashree has undergone were very apparent. This was truly a transformative experience for me and I am grateful. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get a deep sense of what yoga can offer.

Rated 5.0 The studio imparts a very calm peaceful vibe just like a sanctuary. Rajshree is a knowledgeable & patient teacher. I have taken yoga sessions at this studio & each time leave feeling so peaceful, content & full of energy
