As a physical therapist, I am very picky about the quality of instruction at any studio or class I attend, and it is very hard to find good instructors. The ones at Breathe are a good bunch!

Just looking over my reviews and it's such a shame that this person is going to the extent of lying about me. He knows good and well who I am. When I saw him he did not work from an office, he worked out of his home with dogs running around...and made herbs from his kitchen. Not a very nice person in my opinion. I am not obligated to report to him when I paid good money for mediocre service. So he can deny whatever he wants. Squirrel-y, squirrel-y!

I discovered Khabir through his informal herb classes. These are held at his house and serve as an…read moreaccessible entry point for people new to herbalism/ayurveda as well as those continuing their studies. I spontaneously signed up for his India classes. My experience with him in India was nothing but disappointing. Khabir was late to every class session by at least 30 minutes because he was shopping or having lunch. Classes consisted with students taking turns reading from the book which we had all already done in preparation before coming to India and while waiting for Khabir to arrive to class. I learned next to nothing and left extremely disappointed in the money I had spent to travel across the world. I would not recommend investing in these programs if you are a student intent on growing for career purposes. There are teachers who truly embody the art and science of Ayurveda who will instill much deeper knowledge in you. Edit: Since posting my review Khabir has been emailing his clients as a request for 5 star reviews in exchange for free gifts and discounts. He has also blocked me and this same review on Facebook. The 5 star reviews left for the course were written by students who initially expressed unhappiness with the course to me. I can only guess why they changed their mind. The "testimonials" on his site are clearly all in favor of him, why would he include anything other than on his own website?? In my opinion, trying to cover up the truth is NOT a sattvic quality and I would wish better for any human in my life, especially one calling themselves a healer and teacher. When I expressed my concerns during the course of his lack of actual teaching Khabir responded the the root of suffering is expectation. That I should have no expectations of the course and therefore I would not be disappointed. ?!??!??! I hate to spend any more time dealing with this but cannot with good conscious keep this to myself with the hopes of saving anyone else the disappointment and money of flying all the way to India to experience this "class".

Randilee is amazing…read more I booked for Abhyanga massage with Shirodhara, and it was such a peaceful, easeful experience. The space itself is so beautiful and serene. She and her partner put a lot of care and intention into it. Randilee spent some time with me before the session to talk about what's been going on in my life and my experience with Ayurveda. She gave me valuable insights into some health patterns I've been observing. For the massage itself, I felt so well held and cared for. I really appreciated that Randilee created a safe container, and that each action and transition was so mindful and intentional. Randilee really knows how to care for people. For the Shirodhara, wow... it was such a blissful experience. I've never done it before, and I was like... how soon can I come back and do this?
