Frequently Asked Questions

For studio yogis (teachers and practitioners) who know there's more to yoga than the mat, and need a solid bridge to get there.

Above all, the teacher.

Every teacher I’ve ever had has a unique voice, a unique way of relaying the information, and I’ve always found that to take me to the next step, the right voice tends to come at the right time — if I remain open, intentional, and receptive.

But the teacher alone isn't the whole answer — the structure matters too.

For many studio practitioners who sense there's more to yoga, the path forward isn't always clear.

Traditionally, you'd find yourself a guru, and the guru would have to accept you. If you were properly ready, the guru might take notice of your potential.

Times are very different now, and especially in the west, the options tend to leap straight to teacher trainings, or programs that feel like too much, too soon.

Plus, not all teacher trainings are built on the deeper wisdom, and some programs may not resonate in the moment.

Yoga Bodha offers the bridge that's often missing.

A structured, accessible path from the studio into the real depth of the practice: the philosophy, the tools, the wisdom. No teacher training, no heavy overwhelm, just genuine study and daily practice, with guidance.

If you've been practicing for a while and felt that subtle pull toward something deeper, this was literally made for you.

Teacher trainings, especially at the foundational 200hr level, tend to focus on the mat — cueing poses, sequencing, and practice teaching. The deeper 300hr programs often go further into philosophy, but the lens is often still on becoming a teacher.

Here, the focus is entirely different. We're cultivating your personal practice for your own evolution, and that inner work ripples outward and positively affects everyone around you.

The personal yoga journey is deep, intricate, often shifting, and questions always arise along the way.

Community allows us to connect in a sanctuary, a judgment-free, safe space with like-minded humans all on the same path, to share authentic study and practice — thoughtfully, respectfully, and without dogma or performance.

At the heart of the community you'll find Sādhana Starter, a free course with a guided āsana and meditation practice designed to become your daily ritual.

Generally no, at least not the way you might be used to. There are enough great options for āsana classes, whether that’s online or in physical studios.

We’ll still practice āsana and prāṇāyāma but it will be more focused on preparing the body to sit in meditation.

A deeply transformative yoga journey involves both study and practice.

We'll explore the teachings of Tantra, Haṭha and Rāja Yoga, Patañjali's Yoga Sūtras, Sanskrit - the language of yoga, along with the tools of kriyā, mudrā and mantra in a structured way, each step building on the last.

And we practice to experience the wisdom and embody the teachings.

Sādhana Starter is the free, foundational course at the heart of the community.

Sādhana means 'spiritual practice' or 'dedicated daily practice', and that's precisely what this course is designed to cultivate.

A consistent practice is what clears the lens on the profound wisdom you already have within you.

The 48-minute daily practice includes pre-meditative āsana to settle and prepare the body, guided Nāḍī Śodhana to balance the energy, and an 18-minute kriyā meditation.

The course content puts the practice in context — the why, the how and even the when and where. The who is always you.

I only teach what I know from personal experience. Teachers are critical and I have been blessed to have some great ones.

It was through their teachings, their rich lineages that I learned the practices, and acquired the means to understand them.

So I'm here to guide the practice and the process — to connect with you, answer questions, and help you build a strong foundation in these various yoga practices.

I give you room to progress at your own pace, but I'll also give you a nudge if you need it.

I’ll never pretend to have all the answers, but I’ll always do my best with the truth.

Sādhana Starter is completely self-paced. The course content takes an hour or two if you move through it in one sitting, but maybe you’ll want to soak it in a little slower.

The practice itself is 48 minutes. That's it. A solid daily ritual.

And the community is always there in the background — drop in when you have a question, when something shifts, or when you just want to share the journey with people on the same path.

If you've been practicing in a studio and you're familiar with general terms like āsana and prāṇāyāma, you're ready.

It might feel a little overwhelming at first — and that's okay. The real understanding comes through the practice itself over time, and anyone can do that.

The lessons are there to give your practice context. If they don't fully land the first time, keep practicing and come back to them. They'll be waiting for you, and they may hit a little different once you've lived with the practice for a while.

If something is puzzling you, bring it to the community. I'll be there to help and someone else has likely wondered the same thing. We’re all in this together.

That depends on you, and how consistent your practice is. You get out of it what you put in.

What I can say is that people who show up daily, even imperfectly, tend to find more clarity, more calm, and a quieter relationship with their own mind over time. The noise doesn't disappear, but your relationship to it changes. And that changes everything.

The community is part of that too. Having like-minded people around you, all quietly doing the work, is both supportive and sustaining.

There's a feminine vibe here, and it comes from my feminine soul. In the west, it does seem like more women than men tend to be drawn to yoga.

Maybe through the pursuit of fitness and flexibility, something within women resonated on a deeper, energetic level. The more subtle, feminine part of them.

But yoga has always been for every single one of us on the planet, and this is too. The practices themselves invite us all to touch into the more feminine, subtle, receptive, creative energies within us, the part that goes deep, beyond the body and the mind. Feminine intuition. We all have it.

No. The short answer is: yoga is a system of self-discovery based on your own direct experience. You do it your way.

There is no dogma here, and no right or wrong way to experience Yoga. But gentle, human guidance and a structured, consistent practice go a long way toward your own personal growth.

Whatever your background or beliefs, you are welcome here.

Please do — and read books, listen to podcasts, ask AI, do all the things.

The more perspectives you gather, the richer your understanding becomes.

The fact remains that YouTube and others are scattered — disconnected chunks of information with no thread between them. And as useful as AI can be as a sounding board, it can't experience a practice and teach from there.

We all need a human teacher informed by lived experience to weave the thread connecting one thing to the next.

That's what this community is for, and we're weaving that thread together. Real people on the same path, growing and connecting together.

You're not alone in this, and you're welcome here exactly as you are.

The āsana we practice is designed to settle the body for meditation, not to perform or push it. Every posture can be modified to suit your own body, and the deeper practices of breath, meditation and philosophy have no physical requirements at all.

The Sādhana Starter course and community is free to join, and if you’re reading this now, it stays that way.

Nothing special. Everything works on a desktop, laptop, or any mobile device. Whatever you already have is perfect.

Only you know what's truly right for you in this moment. If your mind doesn't know, your gut will, at your hāra point.

To gain insight about anything really, here's a short practice:

Sit up tall, spine long, close your eyes and slowly breathe into the point just below your navel. Notice your energy shift as you continue to breathe there. Slow, long inhale and slow long exhale. Maybe your exhale becomes a little longer than your inhale.

When you’re feeling ready, mentally and gently put your question into the ether, be specific, and then let it go.

Stay there, keep breathing slowly, keep letting go, and allow the answer come to you.

Stay open and receive. No forcing, no trying, just breathing and receiving from the stillness. Whatever comes, when it comes.

Do that as long or as much as you need to feel the answer from within. You'll know when you know. And have patience. Practice and patience.

Those who arrive first help shape the tone of this community from the very beginning.

You'll receive your invite on April 20th, and from the moment you walk through the doors, Sādhana Starter — the free foundational course with guided āsana and meditation practice — will be waiting for you.
