01
Foundations of Yoga
Explore the classical teachings of the Yoga Sūtras and understand yoga as a complete system of self-development.
योगWhy Yoga Therapy
Yoga is far more than physical postures.
For thousands of years, yoga has served as a complete system for understanding the human condition and cultivating greater health, clarity, resilience, and inner freedom. At its heart, it asks why we suffer, why we repeat the same patterns, and what creates lasting wellbeing.
Where many people meet yoga through posture alone, Yoga Therapy begins from a different question — not "how flexible am I?" but "what is preventing me from living in balance?" — reading body, breath, mind, and life as one interconnected whole.
The goal is not simply to stretch the body. The goal is to transform the way we relate to ourselves and our lives — so the aim is not information, but transformation.

आचार्यMeet Your Teacher
Nrikeśarī Dāsa
BSW · 500-RYT · ALWC · SOL2
Nrikeśarī Dāsa is a Yoga Therapist, Ayurvedic practitioner, and Vedic astrologer. He has studied Yoga Therapy within the living tradition of Śrī T. Krishnamacharya through Dr. Ganesh Mohan and the Svastha Yoga Therapy Program, while training in Ayurveda and the Vedic wisdom systems for over a decade.
After leaving home at eighteen, he spent six years living as a monk, studying across India, Australia, Europe, and the United States.
His teaching integrates Yoga Therapy, Ayurveda, nervous-system regulation, and behavioural transformation into a grounded, practical framework — and makes complex teachings accessible without losing their depth.
