'Thank you for delivering the Wellness Workshops - feedback has been really amazing. Many employees have expressed how grateful they are for such sessions and how useful and enjoyable they were, so thank you once again for making a difference!'
Monika Poznar, Head of Human Resources, HBZ Bank, London, U.K.
“Deepa joined us at Channel 4 during our ‘learning at work week’. She listened to what we wanted and tailored a session that suited our delivery method and timings. ‘The way out is within’. The participants were impressed by how well Deepa delivered a virtual session and the feedback has been amazing. We can’t wait to have Deepa join us again!”
Meeta, L&D Manager at Channel 4, London, U.K.
“I joined Deepa’s mindfulness meditation classes when I was in a very busy phase of my life. I was just aiming to juggle with many aspects of my life through mindfulness and pause in order to accomplish all items in my do list with peace and focus, one at a time. And I was able thanks to her repertoire which is so intense and full of resources. And she provides us, after each session loads of information to enable us to go through the session and much more to practice alone. Her knowledge is so deep and at the same time her humility, calmness and kindness so unique and adorable. She helped me to learn and practice so many technics that I’ll be using in my hectic daily life. I found confidence and motivation to start taking classes and resume self practice with greater awareness, and compassion. Deepa’s immense experience and mastery are immediately evident in the ease with which she communicates insight with humility and integrity. Her approach succeeds in orienting her students to the magic of the practice and mindfulness. Her teaching is grounded in astute observation, Illuminating demonstration, clear instruction, positive encouragement, and meaningful adjustments. Her genuine commitment to sharing her own journey about practice of mindfulness and yoga is inspiring and enlightening. I will continue with her online yoga classes as I was captured right away from the first on line yoga session by her ability to explain each pose in detail with patience, she is an innate teacher. Everything about her feels very natural and real. I strongly suggest her classes and her philosophy. “

"I have been wanting to do meditation for many years and never got around to it, I now believe it’s because I was meant to start this Journey with Deepa. What a wonderful experience she immersed us in, we tried so many different techniques in order for us to find one that resonated with us. I loved hearing about her journey into meditation, Deepa is so knowledgeable not only about the practices but also the science behind mediation. I cannot recommend her enough, if you are looking to start your journey or to dive deeper into your practice then she is the best teacher to sign up with. You will get some good book recommendations on the way too!"

"Discovered the essence of yoga with Deepa. I have been fortunate that I spent more than a decade practising yoga and I am addicted to it. No other addiction ever felt right! Deepa's no frills yoga is simple and made me do the journey in many forms, Karma Yog (the one who performs the action) eventually is accompanied by Bhakti yog (the devotion needed to perform yoga) and leads to Gyan Yog (the knowledge it gives one). Finally what I least expected happened and I experienced Kriya yog (where it speeded up my spiritual process) and I discovered the real essence of Yoga! All this in a year!!"

"Thank you so much for the six weeks of total bliss. From day one, your classes were very engaging, making me think - why mediation, what is the meaning of happiness and how can I make small changes in daily life to improve quality of my day. Apart from being incredibly knowledgeable and having a very structured approach to each class, your warmth and calm demeanour is infectious- I felt relaxed the moment we started every class ! What was particularly unique is you equipping us with many different types of mediation techniques, allowing us to choose what works for each one of us . I now regularly do Yoga Nidra and also practice 5 min of grounding - ABC +1 mindful breath whenever I feel little out of control (having your gentle voice on soundcloud to guide me is a great tool!) Thanks Deepa for making meditation an integral part of my life."

"My husband and I started Yin Yoga sessions with Deepa in 2018 and continued with her virtual class during the Pandemic. Deepa’s knowledge, teaching technique and demeanor are a powerful combination that give us centering, a great sense of well-being after each yoga session and growing flexibility. Every class is a perfect balance of some familiar practices/positions and targeting a new body area or mental state. If you are looking for an instructor who you can connect with and will genuinely care for your well-being, please join Deepa’s classes!"

"It was Deepa who introduced me to divine world of yoga. I had the pleasure of practicing yoga with her for a year. Deepa has a gift for creating a peaceful and nurturing environment that makes it easy to focus on the practice and forget about everything else. Her guidance is clear and easy to follow, and she always takes the time to explain the benefits of each pose and how to modify it to fit our individual needs. I've managed to significantly improve my flexibility, strength, and overall wellbeing since starting yoga with Deepa. What sets Deepa apart is her genuine care for her students. She's always available to answer questions and offer support. I highly recommend Deepa to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice and improve their physical and mental health. Thank you Deepa, for your guidance and support on this journey!"

"I feel so grateful to have Deepa as my yoga teacher and friend. She's not only an amazing yoga practitioner, but also a kind, compassionate and inspiring friend. She always motivates me to keep going and challenges me to push beyond my limits. But what I appreciate most about Deepa is her warm and welcoming nature. She has an amazing ability to make everyone feel comfortable and supported, both on and off the mat. She's always there to listen, offer advice, and provide encouragement.

“Our Yin Yoga classes incorporate a more meditative approach to yoga. Calming & relaxing poses and stretches help us to connect with our body and be mindful of every movement. With regular practice, eneergy and equanimity will improve in the mind over time. Our classes are conducted by Mrs.Deepa D’Souza. She has a calming influence over the crowd with her kindliness and gentleness, and with the cool ambience of the hall, it makes for a soothing and relaxing experience, especially after a busy day at work. The classes are very popular indeed and are fully taken up every quarter. This Yin Yoga course has become a stable highlight among our activities due to its popularity.”

"I had been doing Yoga for a while but with Deepa, Yoga took on a new meaning for me. " Meditation in motion"- that is what Deepa said Yoga should be. I have back and hip problems which Deepa guided me through personally but even in her weekly group sessions, along with the traditional poses, Deepa takes us through many variations of it, with precision and with each, the exact muscle we are targeting, increasing our awareness of our body and the the effect each pose has on it. Developing an instinctive practice is constantly Deepa's aim for us, encouraging us to challenge without pushing our limits. Deepa's understanding of the people in her group and their individual levels is so well honed that each group lesson still feels individually tailored. She encourages questions and feedback after her sessions which is always very comforting. After Deepa's one and a half hour sessions, with meditation for 8 minutes each before and after the physical practice, I feel have had a total mind and body workout. They make one feel relaxed and energized at the same time- they make one feel good and that it all that really matters."

"I have had the privilege of being a part of Deepa’s wellness journey. From the time she went for her teacher training, to being where she is today, she has shown this is what she loves with a passion. Her in-depth knowledge on the science of the body and mind is truly amazing. Her meditation classes, are simple, which is how I like it. Deepa has an amazing way of fine tuning an alternate asana if one way doesn’t work. Deepa’s calm composure, demeanor is just the perfect way one would like one’s teacher to be. Extremely grateful for our paths to have crossed, and blessed to have trained under her. Wishing her a purposeful journey touching many lives."

Deepa’s meditation & calming techniques have also been extremely helpful to me & will surely resonate with one & all. Her friendly, calm & approachable personality makes it very easy for us to connect with her always. I highly recommend Deepa to anyone who is interested in learning yoga & meditation.”

"My husband and I learnt to meditate with Deepa. The experience has been transformative and hugely beneficial to us. Deepa was warm, insightful and very open to our questions and doubts. Importantly the meditation course was full of practical tips that we can use at any moment of the day and we loved the way Deepa taught it, relaxed yet educational. As we interacted with Deepa over the course of a few months, her enthusiasm and positivity were infectious and we always finished the sessions happy that we had decided to learn meditation with her."

"My Yoga journey truly began with Deepa’s classes and it is an integral part of my lifestyle. I have truly benefitted in a wholesome way with Deepa’s yoga - both physical health and mental health. Deepa’s approach of breaking yoga into small mini steps makes it non-intimidating. Within her soft and gentle persona, she pushes you to set goals and move to next stage. The balance between asana and breathing is always achieved. Each session was a bit different so that there is no monotony. Each session was enjoyable and felt a combination of relaxing mind and pushing each muscle to get the stretch. It felts like a burst of positive energy at end.
While I continue to pursue my yoga path, I wish Deepa the best in her future endeavours."
Sanjeev Gupta, Singapore
“I have been attending Deepa’s Meditation and Yoga sessions since 2017. She is one of the most learned yoga & meditation practitioners and I am humbled to have found her at the time I needed her the most. After the loss of a loved one it was her teachings on mindfulness and meditative techniques that helped me cope with my grief and assisted me in healing my body & mind. I continued to take meditative sessions and learned various methods from Deepa which helped me improve my mental health and gave me a positive outlook in life. Her techniques and meditations are simple yet effective and have brought me the much-needed tool to navigate my inner self. The regular Yoga practice with Deepa came about in 2020 during the pandemic in the format of Zoom Online classes. That marked the very beginning of my Yoga journey with Deepa. Her style of teaching is easy and helps a beginner to learn at a pace they are comfortable with. Taking her Yoga classes helped me improve my flexibility and increase energy. I highly recommend Deepa’s Yoga & Meditation sessions for improved focus and the ability to be in the present moment. Thank you for the journey so far…"

"Yoga is soothing & calming to mind and body . This I discovered when I was regularly doing yoga for some years with my amazing teacher, Deepa D’Souza in Singapore. We had a wonderful group. The sessions were so unique and engaging every time. Deepa is a thorough professional, friend and a mentor to all her students, a wonderful human being indeed. Would like to add Deepa does excellent meditation classes too. Highly recommend!"

Deepa is a warm and positive teacher who is accessible and caring with a really calming voice. I have attended both her meditation as well as yoga classes and have felt a strong sense of calm and peace after the class. Her practice is a good mix of strength, flow, deep breathing and relaxation.

"Joining Deepa’s classes are a mental and physical gift to myself. As a beginner to yoga, I initially felt a bit self-conscious joining the class. After just a few sessions, I was able to take the opportunity for what it is— a chance to focus on my mental well-being and stretch my body."

“A huge heartfelt thank you to Deepa D’Souza! What started for me as a zoom yoga class during the circuit breaker in Singapore has transformed and evolved into a steady, wholesome therapeutic, meditative yoga class-Truly encompassing the essence of stillness, the equanimity, the oneness. Deepa’s yoga classes are quite simply just that —Yoga .... a union of ourselves with our senses, body and mind in complete and steady awareness with our surroundings. Her very detailed systematic approach takes us through all aspects to gain strength in not just our body but our minds too. Every class is conducted with patience, poise and to perfection. As Deepa gently takes you through the poses and relaxation techniques, her expertise in the knowledge, her dedication to this field and her patience with the one who needs it most comes through. Never in a rush to finish, Deepa gives her full attention to everyone and connects with all at a very personal level. If one just follows her instructions, the various poses the breathing exercises, the meditative prayers. The transformations at a cellular level benefits us all to grow and respond to our lives fully with renewed energy! And as Deepa says, and I quote .. ‘Use the energy you generated through the practice to heal yourself Or use it to heal someone else who needs it more than you’ Unquote A prayer in itself. Thank you Deepa”

"Walking into the first Yin yoga class with Deepa opened me up to the otherwise seemingly inaccessible world of Yoga. Her gentle, calm and stable energy make the weekly Yin Yoga classes an anchor and a refuge for me, something I look forward to because I feel I am literally able to “breathe space” into my body and mind! Deepa is truly a passionate, patient and gifted teacher who connects with her students and helps them connect with themselves."

“Yoga with Deepa... effortless presence...Deepa, no words to express what it means and feels like to settle on the mat with you, to drop into the breath and become aware, to align, anchor and centre in the now with oneness of body, mind, spirit & beyond...Yoga with you is truly stillness in action... allowing for energy flow, equipoise and harmony... For the intention behind the prayer you always end with, to become an effortless effort...May all beings be happy...May all beings be free of suffering...May my thoughts, words and actions contribute in some way to the peace and happiness for all…”

“I attended the Beginner's Meditation course and found it absolutely wonderful. Deepa has a way of explaining and getting you to practising a technique that is at once clear and practical and natural. She is not one to keep an eye on the clock and allows you to set the pace and take your time. We learnt and practised a number of meditation techniques, their background and usage. It was nondenominational and nonjudgmental. Deepa came across as a kind and caring teacher and human being. Thank you very much, Deepa!”

"I joined Deepa’s Yoga class in 2018, when she was teaching in The Brahm Centre, Singapore. I am still in her class on Zoom every week though we are separated by thousands of miles! My initial intention to join Yoga was to improve my health. As I learned more, I found yoga has a calming effect on me. It reduces my daily anxiety and makes me more patient.The various breathing exercises I learned in yoga class, progressively influenced me more, as I became a calmer and more mindful person. A third benefit I felt, was that I could sleep more soundly as Deepa sometimes brings meditation into yoga. I used to suffer from insomnia. Now I can sleep better. If I do wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble falling back to sleep, I would listen to Deepa's meditation recordings on the SoundCloud App. After that, gently and often surely, I could fall back to sleep. Yoga also helps build up the discipline in me. I attend lessons regularly and I try to practise some yoga every day too. I am glad that I can still learn yoga on Zoom with Deepa now that she lives in London, otherwise I would lose the best yoga teacher I have ever had."

"Deepa is a very knowledgeable and excellent teacher who is very devoted to her art. Since this was my first time attending a meditation session it was a good introduction. I found Deepa’s approach to positive meditation very refreshing. Every session was very relaxing providing new insights into how our thoughts can cause pain,discomfort, discontent. More importantly how we can use our mind to reverse the process. The techniques she taught have really changed the way I look at things. It has taught me to reflect on all the people and things that I am grateful for. Thank you Deepa."

"Deepa has been a friend for over 20 years. Her calmness, humility, patience to explain things, and her listening skills make her very approachable and a wonderful teacher. I have had the pleasure to attend her online yoga classes during Covid. These were super helpful considering the anxiety we were all living with at that time. I was fortunate to attend Deepa’s meditation technique sessions in Singapore. These helped me focus and calm my scattered thoughts. Her sweet nature is unmissable and feel blessed to be associated with Deepa. My best wishes to her for all future endeavours. May her radiance benefit all she meets in her journey!"

"Deepa is one of the best yoga and meditation teachers I have had the good fortune of learning from. Apart from her soft voice and gentle demeanour, she brings with her an in-depth understanding of yoga and the human mind and body. She is always mindful of your body’s limitations and gently helps you to overcome them and provides alternatives in techniques. I truly miss Deepa’s classes in Singapore!"

"My autistic son Kabir and I have been a part of Deepa’s yoga and meditation practice for over 10years. Deepa’s sessions, the way they are lead and conducted, make you feel very light, calm and relaxed. Deepa’s patience and perseverance with my son Kabir helped him deal with his anxieties especially during tough covid times. Her faith, holistic approach, and her guidance during the session and even outside the sessions has helped me deal with tough times in my life. Thanks Deepa."

"I attended Deepa’s meditation course for beginners almost 2 years ago now. This was my first time practicing meditation and I was extremely apprehensive, to say the least! In my first session, I was immediately calmed by Deepa’s voice, her patience, her sense of calmness, her knowledge and her deep compassion for others. I can honestly say that Deepa has had a profound effect on my daily life and I have continued to meditate daily in some form since my first course with Deepa."

"Deepa D’Souza is undoubtedly your best coach for meditation and mindfulness. I have done the meditation course with her not once but twice. She has carefully studied various meditative techniques in depth and shares each one of them. Over a period of time, you can pick the one that fits best into your lifestyle. She is soft spoken and gently guides you into becoming the best version of yourself."

"From the very first class I have enjoyed Deepa’s enthusiasm, patience, love of yoga, and demeanor. She made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Her classes serve to replenish one’s physical energy, sense of hope and joy in life. Yoga is a gift for yourself and Deepa is a gift to Yoga. Yoga has brought so much peace and joy to my life. Deepa is a wonderful teacher. She is patient and always considerate of her students. She is a wonderful healer. She is more than just a yoga teacher, she imparts wisdom and encouragement as part of each class. I had tried yoga in other occasions but none was as skilled or as sensitive to individual needs as Deepa. Deepa’s words to those of us who attended her Yoga class, have continued to resonate with us since then. I highly recommend her yoga classes."

"Deepa is one of my most favorite yoga teachers. When one finds a perfect yoga teacher, it feels like such a boon in life. The perfect amount of stretch, relaxation and then the residual feeling of perfect restfulness, yet vigour. Because I have issues with my joints and muscles from a very young age, it is hard to find a teacher that understands my body & then caters all the exercises for my body. Deepa is one of those teachers with great knowledge, experience, compassion & strength.

As a true yoga teacher, her focus was always about keeping the breath in mind while exercising, bringing about a calmness in the student. She is so much fun to have as a teacher too. Everyone of the students absolutely love her. She has all the qualities that one seeks in a teacher & hence is immensely missed in our Singapore yoga class.
Frankly, it is not easy to find a substitute for her. Whenever I was disturbed with a situation or circumstance in life, Deepa would explain & talk to me and that would have the perfect effect of helping my mind through that situation, giving it the correct dose of kindness yet understanding of the ways of the universe. She is a healer and yogi in the truest sense.
Thank you so much Deepa, for being there for me - a God sent gift in my life. Thank you."
