Philosophy and Meditation Practices in Bengaluru
Yoga is a journey that extends far beyond the mat. We invite you to explore the deeper wisdom of mindfulness, meditation, and ancient philosophy through our guided sessions and reflections.
I was honored to speak with Krishna Das for my podcast, "The Mindful Initiative." We talked about practice, grace, and his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba. His music touches so many, and his wisdom is a gift.
A teaser from my first video podcast with the incredible Krishna Das. He shares the words of the Buddha on suffering and attachment, reminding us that the real path is to wake up to the present moment.
A guided New Moon meditation I hosted. The new moon is a powerful time to let go of the old and set intentions for the new cycle. It is a reminder from nature that every ending is also a new beginning.
A guided Full Moon meditation for Buddha Purnima. On this special day, we connect with the light of the moon and the wisdom of the Buddha, imagining it as a guiding force that brings peace and clarity.
About Philosophy & Reflections
These sessions are designed as practical tools for your daily life rather than abstract theory. Whether it is a full moon meditation or a conversation on mindfulness, we focus on moving from the chaos of a busy mind to the stillness of the heart. We use simple breathing techniques and ancient wisdom to help you ground yourself, regardless of where you are in your practice.
Yoga is often mistaken for a physical exercise, but the asanas are only the beginning. In this collection, we share the heart of our practice at Ashtanga Yoga Sadhna. You will find recordings from our 'Mindful Initiative' podcast, where we explore complex topics like attachment, suffering, and grace with wisdom keepers like Krishna Das.
We also host guided meditations tailored to the lunar cycles, helping you align your internal rhythm with nature. These sessions—held in our JP Nagar shala or joined remotely—are open to everyone, whether you are a beginner looking for calm or an experienced practitioner deepening your sadhana.
We believe in keeping it simple. We do not preach; we share paths that have helped us, such as focusing on a single breath or observing the movement of the moon to understand our own emotional cycles. It is about building a community that values deep inquiry and quiet reflection over performance. Come as you are, and let us explore these paths together.
Nitesh Batra
I am Nitesh. I spent years in the Himalayas and with my teachers to understand that yoga is a way of living, not just a physical pose. My shala is a home where we learn to breathe, sit in silence, and reflect on what it means to be truly present.
