About me

Kirti Daryanani is the founder & director of Lotus Yoga Aruba® (Lotus Yoga Health & Wellbeing by Kirti) and is a “Himalayan Institute Teachers Association” Certifed Yoga Instructor registered at Yoga Alliance (ERYT). Kirti travels, mainly between Asia, the UK and the Caribbean, spreading her knowledge through lectures, workshops and classes on Yoga philosophy, health and well-being. Kirti was drawn to Yoga at the very young age of 12 after taking her first Yoga class and has been blessed to be in the presence of Gurus and Masters of Yoga since then. Kirti became a Yoga instructor in 2009. Prior to becoming a Yoga Instructor, Kirti was part of top management running various businesses; this, in turn, gave her firsthand experience of the daily stresses and struggles in life. 

Kirti holds a BA(Hons) degree from the University of Manchester and her love of learning and children has taken her to begin online studies in the Harvard School of Education and Stanford University. Kirti knows that not everyone seeks out Yoga classes to accomplish challenging poses, but rather to obtain the real benefits of a Yoga practice which are to learn how to breathe, surrender trustfully and remain balanced in daily life. It was really only in 2020 that Kirti began not only to understand balance but to live it. 

She is a single mother, works as a consultant, studies and is in the midst of creating a full Mindfullness Online Curriculum offered to parents and teachers alike as well as working towards being a published childrens book author one day. Kirti believes Yoga teaches us to acknowledge ourselves, to consciously “pause” the ongoing demands of life and redirect our intention inward. She is an avid believer that the practice of Yoga never stops, especially when we are off the mat. Today, Kirti's life can be considered an example of yoga off the mat.
