Svadhyaya

About

I started Svadhyaya because I wanted a place where kids and adults could actually sit together, get messy, and learn from each other. It’s not about who's older or younger, but about everyone finding their own way. Every person here is a pathfinder, and this is our shared space to figure things out together.

How We Learn

Process over product - that’s my thing. The actual making, the curiosity, the mistakes, all of that matters more than just getting something ‘right’. Sometimes we literally throw the plan out and follow the energy in the room. Mixed ages, mixed skills - that’s what makes this place tick.

What You’ll Find Here

• Pottery & clay sessions for anyone who likes hands-on work (yes, it’s super therapeutic)
• Integrated arts for kids, where they lead the way
• Sustainable art practices - think natural colours, zero-waste, making paper from pulp
• Classical dance training in Bharatanatyam, with batches for both kids and grownups
• Carnatic music instruments like mridangam, flute, vocals, and violin
• Kalaripayattu (Kerala martial art) and yoga, especially for kids

Our Space

I run everything on a leafy, open-air rooftop in Jayanagar. Plants everywhere, lots of sunlight, and dedicated spots for each activity. It’s not fancy, but it’s peaceful and helps everyone relax into their creative side.

How You Join

You can come for a month just to try things. If you want to go deeper, three months really helps you settle in. Either way, you’re joining a bunch of us who care about learning together. Pranams to all who walk in!
