Our Guiding Principles

We believe learning is a journey, not a destination. Our space is built on the idea that curiosity is more important than judgment and exploration matters more than perfect technique.

The People of Svadhyaya

Svadhyaya is a community of learners, pathfinders, and facilitators. Here are some of the people who bring our space to life, including our founder Bhavana and our dedicated facilitators.

Our Open-Air Rooftop Studio

We learn and create on a leafy, sunlit rooftop in Jayanagar. The space is designed to be peaceful and inspiring, with dedicated areas for art, music, and movement, including a bouldering wall.

Creative Workshops for Young Explorers

Our kids' workshops are all about hands-on, sensory experiences where children lead the way. We explore everything from STEM concepts and making our own instruments to collaborative art projects.

Sustainable Art: From Pulp to Pigment

We practice and teach art with a deep respect for the environment. This includes making our own paper from pulp, creating natural dyes from plants, and ensuring our sessions are zero-waste.

Natural Dyeing Programs

We offer programs for those looking to dive deeper into the world of natural colors. Our Level 2 program, in collaboration with ColorAshram, focuses on standardized, scalable dyeing techniques using one-step dyes and indigo vats.

Pottery & Clay Play

Get your hands messy in our therapeutic pottery and clay sessions, open to both adults and children. It's a space to connect with the earth and the joy of making something with your own hands.

Learning Together: A Mixed-Age Community

At Svadhyaya, age is not a barrier to learning. We intentionally create a space where kids and adults can learn alongside and from each other, fostering a true community of pathfinders.
