As an Acharya and Senior Training Faculty, Indu reveals the depth, power, and profound simplicity of yoga in a richly steady, knowledgeable, and joyful way. From a young age, she contemplated and grasped the inner knowledge of existence. Her journey with yoga has shaped this understanding into form and structure, enabling her to transmit its subtle truths with Presence and Grace.
Indu believes that life is her yoga mat and has immersed herself in the practice in her meditation room and throughout her day as a meditation in motion. Her devotion led her to run a yoga studio that served as a spiritual community, and later to live, work, and teach at the ashram. She continues to offer world-class programs and services at home in Michigan, online, and internationally.
Indu is the lead trainer for I AM Yoga® Meditation in Motion®, Putting It All Together, and Integral Breath Therapy within the I AM Yoga® 800-hour Yoga Therapy Program. Gurudev’s teachings and mentorship continue to uplift her spirit as she offers these profound teachings to others.

C-IAYT Certified and Registered with International Association of Yoga Therapists, Hasu is the Director and Owner of Yoga by the Sea in BC, Canada. Hasu is an intuitive and knowledgeable Yogi. For more than 27 years, she has shared a flowing practice which creates self alignment and attunement, based on teachings from her own life experience, Amrit Yoga, Kripalu Yoga, and Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy. The focus is on exploring sensation through movement and stillness, while drawing on the breath as a tool for transformation, allowing you to explore your inner edges and thresholds with willful practice and mindfulness; learning how to trust, accept, experience peace with ourself and life, by deepening the connection with the vital life force, and adding a sense of ease to one’s life. From here, we learn how to carry what is experienced on the mat into daily interactions and life becomes a waking meditation.
In April 2011, Marney received initiation into the Kripalu Lineage from her teacher Gurudev Shri Amritji, and can be called by the spiritual name Hasu, which means Joyous One. She is a Senior Teacher for the Amrit Yoga Institute and was recognized with the title, “Acharya” by Gurudev in October 2022.
