Born in Tahiti, where the ocean, the land, and the sky still carry the memory of the ancestors, Rani walks the path of yoga like rediscovering a long-forgotten language.
As a teacher and guide, she weaves the wisdom of Vedānta with the deep rhythm of her multicultural roots. She is the founder of Ipuāni Yoga Tahiti, a space for awakening, remembrance, and returning to the essentials. Ipuāni, which means “sacred vessel of divine light,” embodies the heart of her teachings.
For Rani, yoga is at once a path, a prayer, and a passage toward a more intimate knowledge of oneself.
After twenty years in the corporate world, an inner calling led her to the sacred mountains of India. There, she was initiated into the Himalayan traditions of Kundalini and Kriya Yoga, entering a lineage of transmission that profoundly transformed her life and the way she moves through the world.
Through breath, kriya, mantra, vocal expression, medicine movements, and ritual, Rani opens spaces where the mind can settle and where the sacred becomes a living experience: a vibration, a presence, a truth felt within the body.
Her sessions are designed as ceremonies… Moments of transition where everyone is invited to listen, to feel, and to return to what remains beneath the roles, the expectations, and the noise of the world.
Her teaching is rooted in lived experience, breath, and inner listening. It brings together the intelligence of Ayurveda, the mysticism of yoga, and the silent language of the Earth, creating a bridge between ancient wisdom and our lives today.
Rani is also the vision and the soul behind the Tahiti Yoga Festival. A gathering born from the desire to bring together ancient and ever-living practices, to create links between traditions, and to remind us that individual transformation can also nourish the collective.
More than just an event, the festival is intended as a return: toward oneself, toward others, and toward the light that everyone carries within. A celebration of yoga and ancestral traditions as a living bridge between heaven and earth, between Self and Other, Self and the World.
