Come as you are.
Exhale what you carry.
(01) The Invitation
Namaste, seeker.
Our physical body is the instrument that we tune, using movement and breath to first stabilize and then deeply delve into the stillness and silence of our minds where we can hear the melody of our soul.
Rooted in an unbroken lineage of sages, these ancient teachings help you return to the source.
Come as you are. Exhale what you carry, and let each conscious breath replenish you.
(02) About Me
Growing up, I learned to meditate and practised, but admittedly, I was unaware of how powerful this small little ritual was. As I grew older, this practice was left in a dusty corner of my mind.
Through some tough seasons, the universe forced me to take a good, hard look at my life and ask some deep questions about who I really am:
These questions led me back to meditation, and in time to the Gurukulam at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama in Rishikesh.
I learned that the simplest practices give the deepest results. Today my work is to share them, so that anyone can transform their inner world the way I did.
(03) Ashtanga Yoga · अष्टाङ्ग

(04) Approach
While you can read all the spiritual books, have deep conversations and go through beautiful one-off experiences that spark curiosity, you need to actually sit down, breathe gently, relax consciously and repeat consistently to experience an everlasting shift within.
Nothing is a better teacher than practical experience! So when you sit down and close your eyes to dive into your own abyss, that is when you truly begin to know.
Sādhanā is a continuous act of showing up for yourself. Through classes, we practice together so that your mind learns to burn through the initial difficulties of sitting. Every practitioner faces the same obstacles: a restless mind, a stiff body and the old question: is anything happening at all?
These moments are known hurdles on the path. With disciplined practice, we pass through them together, until your own light shows you the way forward. So many of us search outside ourselves for answers. Sādhanā turns us gently inward, and asks us to trust what we find there.

(06) Classes
These classes are for sincere practitioners who wish to build a steady, regular practice through the traditional teachings of yoga, and for meditators who wish to sit steady and at ease for longer. Slowly the body softens, the nervous system grows quiet, and the practice brings you home to your self.

Physical body · Joints and glands
A systematic practice of movements that stimulate the joints and glands, remove energetic blockages, and help energy flow smoothly throughout the body by teaching the body to relax. This prepares the body to sit steady and comfortably for deeper practices.
Breath · the expansion of prāṇa
Working with the breath to steady the mind and expand prāṇa, the vital energy. The breath is the bridge between the body and the deeper, inner practices.
Non-sleep deep rest · pratyāhāra
A guided practice of conscious relaxation: non-sleep deep rest that draws the senses inward (pratyāhāra) and leaves you restored.
