Meet Samiksha Shetty, Yoga Expert and Founder

Samiksha’s teaching style is grounded in her background as a lawyer—she breaks down complex poses and anatomical cues into logical, easy-to-understand steps, which makes her workshops perfect if you’re trying to refine your own teaching voice or deepen your personal practice.

At Rising Loka, Samiksha’s approach to teacher training is defined by stripping away the fluff and focusing on what works in a real, live classroom. Her workshops are designed for those who feel overwhelmed by complicated jargon or unclear instructions. Whether you are a new teacher looking to build your confidence or a seasoned practitioner wanting to refine your alignment, her sessions focus on the practical application of yoga.

Samiksha’s methodology centers on small groups, which allows for genuine connection and immediate, constructive feedback. She emphasizes anatomy-driven adjustments and precise cueing—skills that directly impact how safe and supported your students feel. By using tools like blocks, straps, and walls, she demonstrates how to modify poses for different body types, ensuring that yoga remains accessible and effective for everyone.

Beyond the physical, she holds space for the personal side of being a teacher. She encourages you to find your own voice, helping you navigate the transition from student to guide with authenticity. Located in our Khar West studio, these workshops are a chance to step away from the noise and invest in your growth alongside a community that values realness over perfection. Join us to break down complex concepts and sharpen your practice in a space that supports your rise.
