Meet Samiksha Shetty, Yoga Expert and Founder

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.
