Jorge Rodriguez I started taking Banu’s classes for injury prevention while I train for triathlons. What I did not expect was that her classes would transform my mind, my body and my way of looking at the world. It’s the combination of fun, challenge, and acceptance – all wrapped in yogic teachings of balance – that keep me coming back! It’s been over two years now and I look forward to each new class.
Zicky Postigo I’ve been a student of Banu for over 5 years for many reasons. throughout my life have had the privilege in working/meditating with/learning from some of the worlds highest masters as well as being an ex-Buddhist monk from the highest levels in its tradition. I can say that Banu brings to her class something which is rare in nature encompassing her life experiences, techniques proficiency and a kind heart to her practice.
Isabelle Fernandez I love this class, it is challenging and explorative, yet well balanced with the right amount of spiritual & physical and even humor! The music and inspirational reading always leave me with a big smile on my face . Thank you Banu!!!!!!
Lisette Garcia Taking Banu’s class is like being able to trust yourself simply by being in her presence. Her sincere and creative teaching style combined with her extensive knowledge and passion for yoga is felt throughout her class. I look forward to her class and love leaving with a sense of true yogic bliss. Thank you!
Sean Glenon Banu is an extraordinary teacher. Her classes have a wonderful flow to them . Banu is a very talented yogi and she inspired me. Regular visits to her class is most beneficial to your overall health.
Florencia Vitaver I am always grumpy on my way to yoga after work- especially on Mondays. What motivates me is how the rest of my week will feel when it’s over. Banu’ class guides us to be ourselves and to remember our priorities and when I leave her class I know I that my new calm, confident outlook will effect my entire week.
Natasha A. Banu is a GREAT instructor; her energy always makes the stress from the day melt away when I hit the mat and even when I am in a pose that tests my comfort and boundaries, she manages to get a smile out of me.
J.B. Harris I got hooked on yoga with Banu Bektas . She also got me to intermediate level yoga in less than 40 classes. Now I’m doing inversions and some crazy poses. As a bonus I’ve lost 30 pounds. But Banu is a true spiritual guide, not simply a yoga instructor. She’s the real deal. If you want to expand your consciousness while loosening your spine and opening your hips, take Banu’s classes at Prana Yoga.
Helena Contreras– Banu is a very sincere and genuine person. her ability to instruct and zone in on the needs of each of her students is amazing. Banu teaches with her heart and soul and helps bring balance and peace on to the mat. When taking her class you get the best work out and plus a great way to clear your mind, and detox your body.
Ruchira Garg – Banu is one of my favorite yoga instructors if all time. Her calm and joyful instruction are inspirational and she advances my yoga practice so quickly with her support. I miss her dearly since I left Miami!!
