Santoshi Nancy Kendall
Raja Yoga Teacher
Santoshi is a Raja Yoga Teacher who began studying yogic principles about 20 years ago. She brings her personal experience and success in the world to the classes she teaches on personal transformation, leadership, money, life choices, career, and dealing with fear.
A compelling speaker, Santoshi has taught throughout the United States as well as in India and Australia.
Best known for her retreat Achieve Your Life Purpose, Santoshi is adept at teaching students how to achieve personal and material success through yogic principles. She is extraordinarily well suited to lead this and other programs since she has tested the principles she teaches in every area of her life.
Santoshi began her career as an elementary school teacher out of her love for helping people develop the skills to fulfill their potential. Later, she became a real estate broker and a property manager. In addition to achieving notable financial success through this new path, she was able to be of great service to Ananda in helping finance and develop urban residential communities in Sacramento, Palo Alto, Seattle, and Portland. Recently, she has come back to education, acting as director of Ananda's Living Wisdom School.
Santoshi says:
“When I found these amazing teachings, I was thrilled to the core. Here at last was a way to truly understand the world and our part in it how to sing the song God gave us to sing with joy and confidence.
“There is nothing that pleases me more than seeing where some individual is stuck and sharing with him that particular piece that will make his life flow toward greater happiness. Although I've presented these teachings around the world, there is no better setting for this life-changing work than here at The Expanding Light.”
From two Personal Breakthrough students:
“Santoshi not only shared incredible wisdom with us, but also used it as a tool to help us delve deeply into how it applied to us personally. It was an amazing process.”

“This is the best opportunity I’ve had to reach the spiritual / personal depths I was seeking.”
