My first visit to Yogaville

My first visit to Yogaville

I'm the little one tucked up under Sri Gurudev's arm. While this was my first visit to Yogaville, it was not my first time meeting Sri Gurudev. I do remember going to his Connecticut ashram when I was younger than this photo, and I met him even younger than that, but don't remember that meeting. You can see the beautiful LOTUS temple is just a construction site at the time. Also, here is my dad, mum and one of my grandmothers.

The Saint -- Mother Teresa of Calcutta

The Saint -- Mother Teresa of Calcutta

One of my greatest heroes and inspirations in life. I can't believe I received her blessings as a young child.

Dada JP Vaswani

Dada JP Vaswani

My sister, Lakshmi, invited me along to her private audience with Dada Vaswani. It was such an incredible opportunity to ask him some of life's biggest questions. What a soul! Thanks sis!

Swami Swaroopananda of Chinmaya Mission

Swami Swaroopananda of Chinmaya Mission

Swami Swaroopananda was my teacher before he was even a Swami and I was just a little girl. He is a great storyteller and I will never forget receiving his teachings in this traditional method, learning about the Mahabharata and the Bhagavad Gita.

Integral Yoga's Senior Teahers

Integral Yoga's Senior Teahers

The middle row of Swamis, plus Satya on the third row second from the right, pretty much sums up the amazing line up of Integral Yoga teachers I've had over the years growing up. 

Swami Ganeshwarananda

Swami Ganeshwarananda

This blind Swami frequently visited my family home. He gifted the family with an ancient version of the Vedas, and it sits at my family temple. I can't read it but my family was wise to have a smaller, English version too.

Bodhinatha Veylanswamy

Bodhinatha Veylanswamy

Successor to Guru Sivaya Subramaniamswamy, Bodhinatha led a travel-study program in India in 2003 that was open to women. (It's an orthodox Hindu monastery by the way). It was an honour to learn about Yoga's Forgotten Foundation: The 20 Yamas & Niyamas in great detail from it's original traditions. (Yes, we learned 20 not 10, who would've thought?).

George Harilela

George Harilela

This is the original patriarch of the Harilela family. It was Dada George that welcomed Sri Gurudev into our home for the first time. He is known to many as a householder saint and was a great spiritual leader of our family. Dada JP Vaswani once touched his feet and called him a saint. There was not a dry eye in the room. 

Matthew Sanford

Matthew Sanford

I recently took Matthew Sanford's yoga intensive prior to the first Accessible Yoga Conference. Matthew Sanford is trained in the Iyengar tradition, and has deeply studied the essence of BKS Iyengar's teachings to create a system that works beautifully for those living with paralysis and disabilities. I'm a dedicated Integral Yogi, but this training blew my mind!
