Sharath always talked about the importance of
Dedication, Discipline and Devotion as the rooting force for a long lasting practice.

Only time can give insight into the meaning of these concepts. Their meaning goes beyond the word. In the yogic tradition you sit with a word or an Asana for a long time before these begin to open up within you and the experience settles into wisdom.

Abhyasa vairagya we apply repetition to our practice and hold no expectation, no attachment to that which it will inevitably blossom into but in its own time, when cultivated/nourished with the right ingredients and right guidance.

Here is us

Advanced teacher training completion!

"While the end results of our efforts are rewarding, gardening isn't really about fruit yields or flower counts; it is about the joy of the process....We are the gardeners of our life. The Earth has given us each a small plot to cultivate so we can learn how to become empowered co-creators on Earth." from Mirrors of the Earth by Asia Suler

We have spent the last 6 months studying, contemplating, Observing, integrating, Remembering important teaching both ancient and contemporary. Each of you came to it with great wisdom in your own fields, and years of practice.

You remained steady in your devotion through all that life brought. Some of you had real challenges through it. This is such magnificent yoga in action.

Patanjali opens in the sutras with the end goal in mind. You stayed your course, you each were such representation of the skill to remain focused in one direction through the ups and downs

The most important advice from Krishna to Arjuna is to perform his duty without attachment to the results, focusing on the action itself rather than its fruits. this principle encourages acting with dedication while remaining impartial to success or failure, victory or defeat. This is what I hope you carry forth as you continue to navigate this journey. An essential attitude on the path we travel together as students and teachers.

Some wise advice from the Bhagavad Gita:

Maintain equanimity:
Be impartial to both success and failure, pleasure and pain, as these are temporary.
This equanimity is considered a form of discipline.

Detach from the outcome:
Offer yourself the freedom to act without being driven by desire or fear, this will lead to peace of mind.

Perform your duty (dharma):
Fulfill your role and responsibilities in this lifetime, doing what is right without wavering.

Consider it an offering:
Perform your work as a selfless act or an offering to the divine, rather than for personal gain.

Thank you to all the teachers involved

Come along with me while I entertain you with the Lila of identifying with form in this human incarnation...

I started teaching in 2008, my Ashtanga journey began at The Shala Yoga House in NYC in 2010. In January 2011 I was in Mysore for what would be the first of 9 years spent going to India once or twice per year for 2 to 3 months at a time. I completed the Advanced A&B series of Ashtanga Yoga under the guidance of my Guru Sharath Jois & Eddie Stern and received SharatJi blessing to teach in 2014, at the then KPJAYI (Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute) in Mysore, India, where I have had the honor of assisting SharathJi many times over the years.

I co-taugh with my teachers Kristin Leigh and Barbara Verrochi at TheShalaYogaHouse NYC for many years. In 2018 I moved to the Hudson Valley and started Ashtanga Yoga Newburgh in my garage. In 2019 I became a mother, and opened Newburgh Yoga Shala in 2022.

I've been dedicated to this lineage for 15 years, teaching daily Mysore for 11 years. In 2023 I found Shantala Sriramaiah, and have been an avid Veda student ever since.

I came to Yoga seeking ease from my ongoing struggle with eating disorders. I found Ashtanga to be the most effective therapy. The regimented, intense and repetitive nature of Ashtanga serves as a mirror to all that lives underneath the surface of the disease; the community aspect of the practice, and the close guidance/relationship to one teacher allowed me to feel safe to explore, and feel held while working through the complex deeply rooted layers of the disease.

My approach is rooted in believing that the practice itself has all it needs to initiate and hold transformation, a good teacher is one that can stand at the side of that, inform the journey, add softness or firmness and support the student in seeking the help they need as they navigate their journey.

it wasn’t until I became a mother that I really understood the depth, richness and wisdom of the practice. I sincerely believe in the profound benefits of this method. There is no one correct way to practice Ashtanga, rather a personalized approach to practice that allows for deep inner growth when done with sincerity and dedication.

"When you start practicing yoga, you will start to love everyone,” sharathJi

Through practice we hope to embody this teaching. SharathJi was a walking example of that.

What is unconditional love? How does sit manifest?

We practice.

"Śani’s reminds us that constancy itself is sacred - the steady repetition of duty, practice, and remembrance that creates space for grace to dwell." A nice contemplation from my teacher of

The word abhyasa - as seen in Patanjali's yoga sutras - defines practice as repetition. Through the repetition of applying our attention in the direction of goodness we come near the truth.

The truth, according to the scriptures, is that happiness lies within. If we can continue to remember that perhaps we can offer a little space to the clinging we so love to do, thinking we can control and manipulate life according to our fears...which inevitably creates suffering.

We can't control much but we can show up in a way that is meaningful, on a daily basis, keeping our mind organized through discipline so we can remain present to that inner subtle sense of happiness despite the innate suffering that inevitably surrounds the human experience.

Happy explorations!

🪔 Diwali 🪔
A moment in time to acknowledge the light the lives within all darkness.

The human experience fluctuates between moments of despair, feeling lost, loneliness, hardship, disease...all the things we may label of 'dark' and moments of joy, ease, lightness, fulfillment, love...all the things we may label as 'light'...and then all that is in between.

During Diwali we celebrate the arrival of light, the breaking free from darkness. For 9 years I spent this time In Mysore, not much sleep would happen that week. The family I often stayed with would prepare by cleaning out their homes, bringing in lots of flowers from the market, drawing beautiful rangolis outside their doors and prepare lots of very sweet treats. On the first night firecrackers would be going off all night, and this would continue on for the whole week. The kids loved it.

SharathJi loved the firecrackers. We would all stand in front of his house and his son would light this long string of firecrackers and we would all watch SharathJi's pure enjoyment. Such a great time to be in India ❤️

This is the day Rama, Sita and Lakhmana return home after all the hardship of their journey, the victory of love, devotion and dharma.

It's such a nice reminder that when we keep our dristhi on love, we are supported by faith, and courage and continue to walk the journey into the light. Things always arise, that's an inevitable aspect of this human experience, we might even lose sight of faith, maybe even if love... but through practice and community we inevitably come back to the light.

Of course as all things yoga, we must keep the definition of light untethered to any sort of preconceived idea, but rather remain open for it to come as it may

Happy Diwali 🪔 🎇

Jai !

November 11th 2025
A year since our dear SharathJi left this physical incarnation.

I feel his presence every morning when I walk into our shala here in Newburgh. His voice still in my ears, his blessing more alive than ever.

It's the memory of his devotion, the memory of watching him teach while assisting, the memory of his firm guidance that keeps me dedicated, focused, through the ups and downs of practice.

He gave us a great example of what it is to be a Yogi, one that walks through life mindfully, radiating kindness and compassion towards all things life, and endlessly dedicated to his practice.

One dedicated to his community.

So here we are.

Come join us in practice
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11
7:30AM

We will practice to a recording of SharathJi's Led primary series, offer flowers and prayers to his little shrine within our shala.

Each time we practice we keep his presence alive within our hearts

Join us!

A few moments from our magical yearly retreat

This quote by Swami Satchidananda sums up our 4 days of intense practice, practice explored in its many forms...

'Absence of turmoil is not real peace. Real peace is when you rise above the turmoil, and stay peaceful in the midst of it'

We walk away aware that life involves varying degrees of suffering and difficulty, and with tools to take practice with us in our lives as a means to be immersed in it with grace, compassion and peace.

We remember each other in the effort of practice, we hold Sangha in our hearts...and we gather when we can. We look forward to next year!

Breathing - a human right, a tool for health, self knowledge, peace, insight, presence, equanimity, balance....
You can keep filling in definitions that resonate

we need spaces where we can cultivate awareness around our breath, reminders of how the existence in our moving human bodies/minds depends on breathing capacity. Life is movement, breath is movement. Thoughts are movement. The vinyasa of life.

The mind, the breath, the nervous system have a delicate, intimate dance. The harmony of our existence within this body is highly dependent on the fluidity of this dance.

What a wonderful gift to have a home where to cultivate our relationship to our breath, an intimate awareness of our mind and it's patterns/tendencies...and learn the skill of yoga to guide our whole system into a harmonious state.

It is A privilege to have the time in our lives to gift ourselves this space, a blessing to find a home where to go and be held in the process, but also a necessity. Only if we have peace within our hearts can we clearly perceive, receive and discern through our minds. A peaceful heart creates the conditions for a clear mind, with these conditions we can choose how we act in our lives, align ourselves with peace, with love, with grace.

This is the great gift of Yoga.

What is peace? What is love? What is grace?
Questions worth continuing to investigate individually and collectively. They are felt, not thought into reality.
