Thoughts on yoga, Sudarshan Kriya, sound healing, digital transformation and the karma yoga of everyday life.
Every Dussehra we burn an effigy of Ravana. But Ravana keeps coming back. The reason is that we have been burning the wrong one. The Ravana that needs to be defeated is not outside us. He never was.
Navratri is not separate from yoga. It is yoga — a complete nine-day programme of purification, pranayama, meditation, devotion and the systematic awakening of Shakti energy through the chakra system. Here is how to practise Navratri as a yogi.
Navratri fasting is not about deprivation. It is one of the most scientifically sophisticated health practices in the Indian tradition — resting the digestive system, purifying the body, and creating the physical conditions for deeper meditation and spiritual experience. Here is how to do it properly.
Navratri is not merely a festival of colour and celebration. Each of the nine nights carries a precise spiritual intention — a specific form of the Divine Mother, a specific energy, a specific colour that invites that energy into your life. Here is your complete guide to Navratri 2026.
On World Mental Health Day, discover how pranayama and meditation can support stress management, emotional balance, present-moment awareness and everyday mental well-being.
Gandhi was not a yogi in the conventional sense. He never taught asana. He never led a pranayama class. And yet he lived one of the most complete expressions of yoga philosophy the modern world has seen. On his 157th birth anniversary, let us understand what his life actually taught us.
Ganesha is not merely the remover of obstacles. In the yogic tradition, he is the presiding deity of the Mooladhara chakra — the root of all energy, the foundation from which every spiritual journey begins. This Ganesh Chaturthi, understand why you cannot rise without first being grounded.
On Teachers Day, I think about every teacher who shaped me — my father in his fields, Dr. Radhakrishnan in his philosophy, Gurudev in his grace. And I think about what it truly means to stand in front of another human being and attempt to help them grow.
Every full moon, the energy in the environment shifts in ways that science is beginning to understand and ancient wisdom has always known. This Pournami, discover why the full moon matters and how a simple moon bath can restore what modern life takes away.
On India's 80th Independence Day, we celebrate a different kind of freedom — freedom from disease, from stress, from a body that has forgotten how to heal itself. Health is not a privilege. It is every Indian's birthright.
He had no yoga teacher. No mat. No certification. But at 70, he is still the most devoted practitioner I have ever known.
In 2009, while working full time in IT delivering requirements for Fortune 500 clients, I experienced Sudarshan Kriya for the first time under Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar ji. Nothing was ever the same after that.
Most wellness businesses struggle online. Most agencies miss the soul of wellness. I live in both worlds and that changes everything.
After years of yoga and sound healing, I thought I understood the body. Rakkenho showed me there was an entire dimension I had been missing.
Deadlines, stakeholders, pressure, delivery. The corporate world is a demanding teacher. And it prepared me for the mat in ways I never expected.
Tibetan bowls, crystal bowls, gongs. People leave sound baths transformed. Here is what is actually happening in the body and brain during a session.
The gap between being a great teacher and running a great studio is enormous. Here is what I learned building Navyoga Wellness in Hyderabad.
You do not need an hour of practice or years of experience. You need one technique, practiced sincerely, every single day.
Templates are not cheaper. They are more expensive. They cost you the clients who never contacted you because your website did not reflect your actual value.
Stress, burnout, decision fatigue. The modern professional carries more than any human nervous system was designed for. Yoga is not an escape from corporate life. It is the upgrade it needs.
Your potential students are searching for you right now. The question is whether Google can find you. Most wellness websites make the same five mistakes that keep them invisible.
Most wellness practitioners are exhausted by social media. Posting every day, seeing little return. The problem is not effort. It is strategy.
In a crowded wellness market, the practitioners who stand out are not the ones with the most certifications. They are the ones with the clearest sense of who they are and who they serve.
Every wellness practitioner is chasing followers on social media. Meanwhile the most powerful, personal and profitable digital channel sits unused. Your email list.
