Sne Allan-Sharma (née Ganguly)

Sne has been a long-standing practitioner & considers herself an eternal student of yoga. Despite starting her yoga journey almost 15 years ago in Provence, France, it was only in December 2024 that she finally decided to resign from her life as a corporate lawyer to connect with her roots & to lead the community focused studio & instruction practice that is Intārya.

With formal coaching in Ashtanga Vinyasa & Vinyasa Flow from her gurus at Rishikesh Vinyasa Yoga School & Bali Yoga Ashram in Indonesia, Sne has developed a specialization in Ashtanga Vinyasa which follows the Mysore-style of teaching. Her instruction encourages meditation through movement & focuses on body alignment & philosophy of yoga, as it has been known for generations. This is & will always be the foundation of her practice & teaching; yoga with pure origins in tradition.
