Ayurveda, Breathwork, and Mindful Living in Mysore
True wellness is how you live each day, not just what you do on a mat. I invite you to integrate the wisdom of Ayurveda, deep breathwork, and moving meditations into your daily rhythm.
Here, we are learning to make our own healing potlis, an Ayurvedic massage technique known as Patra Pinda Sweda. We use fresh herbs and medicinal leaves to create bundles that soothe joint pain and reduce inflammation.

About Beyond the Mat: Ayurveda, Breathwork & Mindful Living
My classes here aren't just about reading theory from a textbook. We actually get our hands dirty—literally. Whether we’re crafting our own herbal potlis [medicinal bundles] for massage or exploring the science behind specific pranayama [breath control] techniques, it’s about making these ancient tools work for your actual, modern-day life.
Beyond the Posture: A Holistic Approach
In my Shala in Gokulam, we look at the whole person. We don't just focus on the physical asanas because life happens off the mat, too. My approach is to take these ancient, time-tested systems and show you how to apply them to your daily dincharya [daily routine].
Hands-On Ayurveda
We don't just talk about doshas in the abstract. In our workshops, you might find yourself making your own herbal bundles for Patra Pinda Sweda (potli massage) to soothe joint inflammation, or learning the specific marma points on your face for stress release. You walk away with practical skills that you can use at home to bring your body back into balance.
The Science of Breath
Pranayama is the heart of what I teach. It is not just deep breathing; it is a way to influence your nervous system, your emotions, and your energy levels. We dive deep into the vayus and koshas, helping you understand exactly what is happening inside you. Whether you are dealing with anger, insomnia, or just a cluttered mind, there is a specific breath pattern to help you shift your state.
Mindful Movement
Beyond the static poses, we explore the flow. Practices like Tai Chi and Qi Gong are essential for moving energy and maintaining circulation. These are moving meditations that cultivate inner peace, balancing the body's energy while calming the mind. If you are looking to deepen your practice beyond the physical shapes, these workshops are where we find that stillness together.
