Sunny discovered yoga later in life, after physical, mental, and spiritual health declines started calling for more attention. Following the tides of fate, he stumbled into a yoga class on a recommendation and found it deeply nourishing: every class, more old scales fell off.

Sunny teaches Vinyasa style classes that emphasize connecting movement with breath and letting go. His flows include elements of pranayama and meditative practices to further mind and body connection. He aims to provide a class that is suitable for all levels of experience.
