Meet Mrinali Madhukar, an internationally trained Yoga Teacher and a core part of our teacher training faculty. She brings a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology to her classes.

Regeesh Vattakandy: Over 20 Years of Guidance
With over two decades of practice, Regeesh brings a master's degree in Yoga Psychology and diverse certifications ranging from Pranayama to Thai Body Works.

Whether you are aiming for a teacher certification or simply looking to untangle emotional knots, his guidance is grounded in years of mentorship and authentic experience.
Mrinali Madhukar: Anatomy and Intelligent Movement

Her teaching is rooted in a detailed understanding of anatomy and physiology, making her sessions perfect for students who want to build a safe, intelligent practice. She is a core part of our teacher training faculty, helping students move past the 'human pretzel' myths to find strength and ease in their own bodies.
Our Philosophy
We believe in teachers who are real people, not distant gurus on a pedestal. You will find us in the shala sharing laughter, explaining the mechanics of a pose, or discussing the philosophy that helps us navigate daily life. We invite you to reach out, share what you are looking for, and see if our flow aligns with your current path.
