"In June of this year I began to have Panic attacks. No one knew what they were until I had the second one. As anyone who has experienced Panic attacks knows what they are like and that you just want them to go away. After a horrible reaction to anti-anxiety medicine I finally got lucky with Zoloft. Thinking that this would help me conquer this horrible nightmare that ruled my life,  I started to feel almost myself again. That was short lived. In the beginning of September I had to go to the emergency room for feeling so bad.  I was given several tests and found out then my liver was inflamed. After many blood test,  scans and a MRI the doctors could not pinpoint why this had happened.  Scared and at my wits end I decided to contact Anisha, a licensed acupunturist that I had met at the Health Fair in august.  I had heard so many wonderful things about acupuncture so I thought that this could help me.  It turns out that making that phone call to Anisha has been the best thing.  At our first meeting Anisha told me what I knew in my heart and that was that my liver had been congested from all the medicines I had been taking. The doctors did not want to admit it but I knew that is what it was from. My first meeting was short but so very effective.  After just 20 minutes of acupuncture, the next day I began to feel like I had months before. My head was clear and I felt like I had energy again. I have been  three times since that day and I am feeling better each time.  Anisha has helped me so much. I could never thank her enough for what she has done. I still have several sessions left but I am finally feeling like myself. Acupuncture is a miracle and I am so happy to have decided to make it a part of my healing, both physically and mentally."

"I have been working with Anisha for almost 8 months. Or should I say she has been working with me!  When I first came to Anisha I was suffering from severe neck , arm and shoulder pain, that I had seen a chiro, ortho, neurologist and physical therapist for but they were unable to help me. I also had issues sleeping, peri-menopausal hot flashes, and taking two different anti-depressants. In 6 months I had stopped taking 1 of the anti-depressants, working out at a level I wasn’t sure I would be able to do again, was sleeping through the night and my hot flashes gone. Due to an short term economic issue I had to stop seeing Anisha for a while.  My hot flashes are back, neck, arm and shoulder pain has returned and so have my sleep issues. I will no longer treat my sessions with Anisha as a luxury but as a necessity."

"I was hesitant about Acupuncture when I first came to Anisha in December 2010 to be treated for hypothyroidism and infertility per my friend's suggestion. The hypothyroidism had my hormones all out of whack and I just didn't feel like myself anymore. Plus, the medicine prescribed by my doctor only seemed to make me feel worse. I was tired of not feeling like myself and was ready to start a family. After only two months of seeing Anisha, I got pregnant and feel better than ever. I attribute all my progress to her.  Anisha is very caring and takes great pride in her work. Because of her I am a firm believer in Acupuncture and I'm always recommending it to my friends."

Yoga

When I began practicing yoga with Anisha, I was still fairly new to a regular workout routine and still very new at yoga.  Now, almost a year and half later, I cannot imagine my workout routine without yoga practice with Anisha!  She blends the challenge of yoga with a sense of self - remembering to meet yourself on the mat and challenging yourself to your own edge.  I leave practice with a clear mind and a satisfied feeling that I just spent the last hour really connecting with myself.  While I have been practicing with Anisha, I also have trained for two half marathons (including my first one!) and I know the balance Anisha's yoga class provided from the constant pounding of running and strength training was an added benefit that has allowed me to continue training for two more half marathons in a few months.  I have noticed a marked increase in my core strength and I attribute that to continued balance of strength training and yoga practice.  The hour connecting with myself during practice is one of my favorite times of the week!  Thanks Anisha!  Bring on the 'Breath of Joy!'

Anisha is a warm, bright and gifted yoga teacher. She has a spontaneous joy and curiosity about life that at once makes one feel “seen” and befriended. She is capable, professional, caring and reliable. She is a skillful instructor and guide. Anisha knows how to create a learning environment of non-judgemental awareness where students felt safe to explore yoga with a non-violent, self-caring approach. As a yoga teacher Anisha’s gentle style and skillful approach opens the door for many of of her students to incorporate yoga into their lives.

" The best way to describe Anisha’s class is dreamy! Her classes are just the right mix of challenging poses and spiritual balance. I leave her class feeling as though I am in peaceful harmony with the universe."

--- D. Bylaska

I first met Anisha in February of 2008 when she came to one of my classes as a student at Cohasset Yoga Center. I was touched and impressed by this woman's commitment and intention to practice and teach yoga. Many students express an interest and ask me about teaching but few really have the willingness to immerse themselves into the practice in order to be a better teacher.  Anisha has a quiet confidence in her approach to teaching and an amazing openness and ability to connect to her students. Anisha loves the practice of yoga and that comes through in her teaching.  She values each student and is very present, attentive and dedicated. Anisha was only with us for a short time but she left a very deep impression on me and on this yoga community. We were very sad when she left.

I wanted to write and let you know I felt so blessed to be in class tonight. I've had a few challenging days, and thought going to class would be a good, peaceful break. The theme tonight, being to focus on your truest, highest self, was completely inline with my recent stress and the words you recited during class were moving. I don't know if you get a lot of feedback from your students, but I wanted to take a moment to let you know. Tonight's class was an important moment for me along a spiritual journey. I feel so blessed to know of a beautiful yoga community, where I can go, and have experiences like tonight.
