Offerings

Every offering here begins the same way — with a conversation.

Ways We Can Work Together

For over fifteen years, my work has moved between the yoga mat, the classroom, the page, and the podium. Whether you arrive as an individual seeking healing, an institution seeking depth, or a community seeking connection — there is a place for you here.

For individuals and small groups

Yoga Therapy & Healing Sessions

Grounded in trauma-informed, nature-based practice — the same approach I researched across two master’s degrees and carried into underserved communities across India — these sessions meet you exactly where you are. The work is gentle, personal, and paced like breath: for recovery, for resilience, and for returning home to yourself.

Mentoring & Counselling

Over the years I have mentored more than five thousand students — young researchers, yoga practitioners, women stepping into leadership, and seekers standing at a crossroads. Mentoring with me is not advice from a distance; it is walking together for a while, with honesty, structure, and care. This is also where my music teaching lives — voice and bhajan students are always welcome.

Trainings & Workshops

I have trained over a hundred yoga therapists and designed programmes that weave yogic method into organizational life — including a system of organizational management built entirely on yogic principles. Workshops can be shaped to your team, cohort, or community: from a single immersive day to a full training arc.

Talks & Lectures

From academic lectures on yogini sanghas and diplomacy to conversations on peace, gender, and the Divine Feminine, I speak where scholarship and spirit meet. I welcome invitations for keynotes, panels, guest lectures, and thoughtful media conversations.

Writing & Creative Collaborations

As the author of My India (Motilal Banarsidass, 2025) and of essays spanning academic journals and public platforms, I take on selected writing invitations — poetry, essays, chapters, and editorial collaborations that speak to yoga, women, peace, and Indic knowledge.

How it begins

  1. Write to me

    Share where you are and what you’re looking for.

  2. We talk

    A short, unhurried conversation to find the right fit.

  3. We begin

    Together, at a pace that honours your context.

Do you work online or in person?

Both. Sessions, mentoring, and trainings happen online with students and organizations worldwide; in-person work is possible by arrangement.

Who are these offerings for?

Individuals seeking healing or direction, institutions seeking training and depth, and communities seeking connection. If you’re unsure where you fit — that’s normal, and exactly what a first conversation is for.

How do I know which offering is right?

You don’t have to. Write to me with where you are, and we’ll find the shape of the work together.

Do you create custom programmes for organizations?

Yes — most trainings and workshops are shaped specifically to the group, its context, and its intention.
