“Ritu’s class offers an opportunity to calm your mind, relax your body, and helps us to let go of the many thoughts that occupy our minds each day. She incorporates inspirational messages from thought leaders all over the world. I enjoy the varied elements of the class (meditation, breath work, gentle stretching, and reflecting on an intention or positive message.) Each session is unique but builds upon the elements of Yoga that she teaches. I look forward to attending her retreat, where we will have more time to spend on each element of the practice. ”

“Ritu, I love your classes… you do a mixture of what is Yoga in the USA World… the Occidental World… and your being from India… all the details that make a class in India… like the music… I love it so much it is another dimension… subtle of the Mantras that are coming to me… the vibration that make being one hour with my body, my mind and my soul doing asanas. Asanas… yes… this is what we focus on in this part of the world… Yoga is more than that and you do it… which I love. I thank you for the caliber of classes that you do…outstanding.
Thank you again Ritu… you are an outstanding Teacher of Yoga…”

“Dear Ritu, I have been taking your online classes for a year or more and want to tell you how much your gentle guidance has inspired me. You create a warm, serene space and share your deep knowledge of yoga and the body with great skill. A morning class stays with me all day. Namaste.
”
— Susan Rutberg, San Fransico
“Dear Ritu, I really enjoyed your class on Wednesday. It’s exactly what I was looking for. After reading the new book by James Nestor called Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, I was propelled to find someone to teach me nostril breathing techniques (Pranayama). You seem to be the best choice, if not the only choice in our area. The bonus is that I also get to learn the Mudras and Chakras. Thank you.”

“Ritu’s classes are just beautiful. Her voice, her message and her wonderful directed practices are always perfect for me. Ritu shares her immense knowledge with humbleness creating an atmosphere for calm and peaceful learning. It is a blessing to experience a class with her. I am always uplifted. I highly recommend the meditation, gentle, therapeutic and flow classes to anyone looking for peace and beauty.”
— Sandra O'Keefe
“Ritu is an incredibly gifted yoga teacher. Her classes consistently deliver nourishment to body, mind and spirit! Her background as an occupational therapist shines as she often describes the physical benefits of each pose as well as providing modifications as needed. She also beautifully incorporates words of wisdom from ancient yoga teachings and each class is enhanced with soothing, relaxing music. Highly recommended for all levels of yoga practice!”
— Chrisann McCarthy, Westborough
“I was looking for a virtual yoga instructor that was local to where I live so when covid restrictions are lifted I might be able to join a larger community. Ritu’s class was everything I was looking for, calm, intentional, and beautifully rooted in the true practice of yoga. I can’t wait to continue with classes!”
— Laura Loewy
“Before your class I had never done yoga and was a bit intimidated (I always thought yoga had these crazy hard poses). I am so glad I logged in - I just love the stretch and relaxation I get out of it. Tonight was one of my favorite classes. I carry my tension in my neck and back so the twist stretching and neck and back stretches feel wonderful. And I have to admit at the end of class when we are in the peaceful still laying position, I am always sad when you say roll to the side and sit up because I am so relaxed and don’t want the rest and class to end . 😊 ”
— Bonnie Donahue, Michigan
 
“Ritu is a personable, patient, and very knowledgeable teacher. She is constantly trying to expand her practice with personal study, which sets a strong example. Still, she shows compassion with any beginner or inspiration for advanced practice. For example, she takes times time to explain about setting intention in Yoga Nidra, and enhances the practice with discussions about chakras, karma and Dharma, and how to approach Gita.
I am really grateful for the sessions with Ritu and the transformative potential.”
— Steve Gold

informative. I always come out of her classes better emotionally and physically. She offers a wide variety of classes for every yogi level. I highly recommend taking a class with Ritu!”

“Sohum Yoga Meditation has been a wonderful way to get back in touch with my body and my breath. Since June I have been attending classes online and finding the restorative approach taught by Ritu Kapur to be beneficial to me in managing an injured and arthritic hip. Each week we learn how to awaken and invigorate our bodies through gentle stretches and mindful breathing. Ritu is extremely knowledgeable and well-trained, teaching a variety of classes which highlight different aspects of yoga. Her manner is warm, caring and spiritual, - respecting the origins of this ancient practice while making it relevant and applicable for our lives today. I am so grateful for this health resource. I recommend Sohum Yoga Meditation most highly!”
— Adriana Repetto, Medford
“Especially in this time of stay-at-home orders, and the stressors that accompany this new reality, working a couple Sohum classes into my week has helped me feel better physically emotionally. I feel connected with my fellow class members, and most especially my own inner peace and comfort after a class with Ritu. Thank you Ritu!”
— Jody Hensley, Westborough
“Ritu, a new doorway opening for you and all your followers. I feel so grateful to be able to attend your classes ( zoom or in person... makes no difference to me) and listen to your sage wisdom and experience. Love the day and weekend workshops that you have devoted your time and experience creating. For me, it’s been a peaceful and loving experience. Your guidance and the other yogi’s I’ve met have enriched my life tremendously. Thank you Ritu❤️. I’m looking forward to experiencing your teaching in whatever form it may take. The studio was a terrific”
— Shirley Sheridan, Southborough
“Ritu, online classes of course are different than in actual class environment, but you have set your students’ foundations so strong during the actual classes that your online classes are also soooo relaxing and satisfactory and full of ❤️ . It feels like we are still just there with you hearing the birdies in the background. Of course we miss the Sohum studio greatly and we hope to meet with you in person whenever and wherever that may be. We will go wherever you go and will always be with you.”
— Ayca, Westborough
“Sohum yoga studio is my home away from home. There is a certain sense of peace and coziness that I feel every time I enter the studio. I have been attending classes since Sohum first opened. I have taken classes with several teachers at Sohum and I find that every teacher despite praciticing different styles of yoga is compassionate caring and really dedicated. ”
— Kumud, Southborough
“From the moment I walked into the studio I knew immediately that this where I wanted to begin my journey… to find time for myself once again. Sohum Yoga Studio has been one of the best choices I have ever made for myself. If you feel as if you are running in circles and are in need of some serious “me time” this is the place for you too! I want to thank Ritu, from the bottom of my heart for sharing her expertise and for creating the most relaxing, inviting and friendly environment. I look forward to being part of this studio for years to come!”
— Kelley, Westborough
“Sohum is a welcoming and supportive yoga studio, where you don’t have to worry about feeling pushed too hard. The instructors work with you to find alternatives or use props if any position is difficult or painful. I strongly recommend checking out a class at Sohum, even if you think you “can’t do yoga”. You might be surprised!”
— Ellen, Hopkinton
