"“TURKISH DELIGHT“, best describes our trip with Tania. 9 days with her was like a graduate course in Turkish history, culture and sufism. Having a modern Muslim woman, like Tania, lead our group was a unique and remarkable experience of learning, discovery, making beautiful friends , sharing love & laughter. I will definitely visit Turkey again (hopefully on one of Tania’s future trips) to discover more of it. “Travel brings power and love back into your life.” Rumi. Thank you for sharing your love of Turkey with us Tania."

"I’ve longed to one day visit and experience the rich culture and formidable energy of this enchanting city – Istanbul. In September of 2014, I was able to fulfill this wish thanks to Tania Kazi. Many nights we spent enjoying the incredible view of the Bosphorous straight from the small balcony of my hotel room while talking for hours and reading works by the iconic poet, Rumi, who lived in Turkey in the city of Konya, our second destination, during the 13th century. Tania shared these sessions with love and passion for the path. This was definitely the trip of a lifetime, and I am so grateful to Tania for helping to make it so very special. I would travel anywhere with this woman!"

I love Tania because of her sincerity and humor. She knows the importance of being direct and firm, even when it's difficult to do so. However, she is quick to laugh, cracks jokes, and has an ever-young "silly heart" that endears her to those that are lucky enough to laugh with her! She embraces humor as a way to fully experience the depth of life. Tania is a natural at creating environments of sharing without it feeling forced or heavy-handed. She exists in a state of perpetual spiritual discovery, so her inquisitiveness of others' journeys comes from a genuine interest. Because she also shares so much of her life and thoughts with others, it is easy to feel at ease when sharing with her. She is singularly unique in her dedication to her craft. I have yet to come across a teacher in NYC (or much of anywhere) with as much studious discipline to her spiritual work. Because this work is her natural path, she is constantly, voraciously studying and learning. She is, at every turn, authentically seeking out wisdom to guide herself and her students. One can see the joy she gets from this work emanating out of her. It is such a privilege to bask in the glow of someone so purely tuned-in to their purpose. It is a rare treat to connect with and to be guided by someone like Tania.

"The setting of our journey could not have been more magical ! desert islands, pure magical ocean waves, the “strong wind” of Canary Islands, Spain, the full moon, the Marrakech sunset skies, the small winding streets of undiscovered treasures, and on and on ! I thank you so much for all the hard work in creating the opportunity to go to these magical places and for (most importantly) adding your own magic touch by bringing together all these amazing women and creating an environment of such love and laughter that i literally was one a natural high for a week after returning. nothing could touch me. my heart was so full and pure. i was floating. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

"Within minutes of meeting each other in Ubud, Bali, Tania parted the branches and revealed the luscious spiritual path on which she would guide us. Bali is a magical and mystical island itself, but Mother Tania adds layers of warmth and the group becomes an enclave of safety for you to practice her ``Listen Deeply`` Workshop. She asks the questions that you don't have time to ask yourself during the daily grind.When Tania teaches, she is intuitive to the group's needs, and when she speaks, my mind shuts off and just listens to the river of poetry that she espouses. Even now, as I reminisce about our rooftop shala, overlooking the lush green rice terraces rustling with the gentle breeze, a smile spreads across my face."

"Tania radiates an energy that galvanizes one’s deeper most esoteric senses – it’s her voice, her movement, the pause in her composition, and wisdom of expression. Her authenticity comes from compassion and patience for receiving our energy. She has so mastered her own presence through study and self exploration, that she holds space as a polished mirror for us…gently guiding an inward gaze so we can reveal our own truths. She’s a sublime fragrance that lingers – a trusted teacher and friend – all love."

Skip Maselli, NY

"There are certain people who dedicate their lives to bring light into this world. I am so grateful for having found Tania along my path. Her compassionate loving energy has supported me during my darkest hours. Thank you for all your love Tania. May you always be blessed!"

Tania is such a special person and teacher. She is a fountain of knowledge. She welcomes and creates a space where you are called to meet with yourself. But it is in the way that she shares and what she makes of her knowledge, how she applies it to her ever-evolving practice. I have had many incredible moments during and after a class with Tania, and this is for yoga, meditation, and singing bowl sessions where I am flooded with renewed energy – a release, where it feels there is a sweet balance between challenge and being in tune with yourself. Tania creates a unique flow each time that feels very intuitive. There is a humility in Tania that I have always respected and appreciated and understood to be a quality a teacher can benefit from. Tania is real. There is in her a sense of being on a journey. She shares vulnerability. She acknowledges our experience as beings on this Earth, and creates a safe space in her openness, generosity, and ability to connect with and create a vibrant, cozy community. Tania holds this space, and this makes you feel safe and seen. Time spent with Tania is quite magical. She invites you to get into your body by getting out of your mind. Having been on several retreats with her, I experienced wonderful friendships, an appetite for adventure and a fun, open, and receptive space that left me with some of my best memories. I have learned and shared much with Tania that has been transformative.

Tania has the most beautiful and soothing energy/voice/presence/sequences! I feel like her classes really do SOOTHE my nervous system while still strengthening and giving a good "workout." I feel like I am nurturing and honoring myself by practicing with Tania. I always feel physically safe doing Tania's classes. Since I had spinal surgery 3 years ago, safety is the most important thing to me with yoga. Tania's sequencing is so intelligent, and she encourages us to listen to our bodies and be gentle, which enhances this feeling of safety. She truly makes you feel seen and special. I struggle with PTSD and body image issues, and my classes with Tania allow me to fully inhabit my body in a new and different way while deeply relaxing and letting go. She is beautiful inside and out. Plus, her lovely voice and accent take the experience to the next level!

Tania, your soul is magic. I've had handfuls of yoga teachers who are wonderful humans and lead great classes, but you stand out as the one I always come back to after years and years for a truly spiritual experience every time we are together (even if it's when we're thousands of miles apart and connected via Zoom). You always ensure that each of us are heard and seen during class, and you have fostered a sense of community via Zoom since March (lockdown) that is truly remarkable. You have an uncanny ability to know how we need to move during class, and how we're progressing through each practice (even when our cameras are off). Who you are to me is a spirit of peace, presence, love and vulnerability -- I am so lucky to know you!

"Tania’s amazing gift is the understanding that spirituality and wellness can be unapologetically fun! Although intensely physical (I am drenched after every class,) Tania’s brand of Yoga is so much more: humor, dance, poetry, rock&roll, delicious sweets, and lots of personal stories combine to take students on a journey to a better version of themselves. Tania’s classes have been transformative not just physically but spiritually and have helped shaped her students “off the mat” as well. I never miss a class and taking friends along has become my go-to answer to “why do you do Yoga?” After one class, they get it."
