Santulan means balance. We're a local studio where yoga feels like coming home: relaxed, down-to-earth, and welcoming
Meet Mariane
Mariane Sakay, founder of Santulan, has led wellness teaching since 2019 across NYC, the Hamptons, U.S. retreats, and corporate events for Wells Fargo, Rhone, and Point72. Her journey from India to Hawai'i and New York turned yoga into a path of self-realization she shares through spaces of presence and transformation. Certified in Ashtanga and Ayurveda (Mysuru), Hatha (Hawai'i), and Rocket Yoga, with training in Kundalini Meditation and Holotropic Breathwork, she blends traditions into grounded, accessible practices that foster balance and connection. For her, wellness is not perfection but balanced living, movement, and connection.
