Whether it is Bhavana’s coaching approach or Praveen’s rhythm-focused Mridangam sessions, our facilitators are here to adapt to your pace, not just stick to a rigid lesson plan. ### Our Philosophy of Guidance At Svadhyaya, we believe a teacher is simply a learner who has walked the path a little longer. Our team is built on the principle that true guidance happens through connection, not hierarchy. When you join a session, you are not just signing up for a class; you are entering a conversation with someone who is as invested in the process as you are. ### Meet the Team **Bhavana Nagendra, Founder & ICF-Certified Coach** Bhavana brings a coaching mindset to everything we do. After a decade in finance, she pivoted to create a space that prioritizes the 'why' over the 'what'. She ensures that every workshop—from art to movement—holds space for curiosity. Her work is about facilitating growth, ensuring that whether you are an adult or a child, you feel supported in your exploration. **Praveen Hariharan, Mridangam & Percussion Facilitator** Praveen represents the exact kind of transition we encourage at Svadhyaya. A former banker who followed his passion for Carnatic music, he understands the dedication and courage it takes to pursue a creative life. His classes focus on the flow of the instrument, letting students find their own rhythm rather than just memorizing notes. He is here to help you express yourself through music. ### Why We Connect We are not a traditional coaching center pushing for exam results. We are a collective. Whether you are learning Kalaripayattu, exploring sustainable art, or finding your rhythm in music, you will find facilitators who listen, adapt, and share in the joy of the mess that is learning. ## About Svadhyaya I am Bhavana Nagendra, and I started Svadhyaya because I wanted a space where learning feels like a shared journey. Along with facilitators like Praveen, I work to create an environment where questions are welcomed, and growth happens side by side.
