We are happy to share an infographic report from the Yoga Cikitsā wing. Our initial study has established a clear connection between regular practice and improvement in sleep, energy, and appetite parameters, as well as reduced dependency on medications. Such results continue to offer validation of the authenticity and potential of the KYM approach to Yoga-Cikitsā, following the foundation laid for us by Śrī TKV Desikachar.

Hi there. It's been a minute!

I'm not really crazy about what Meta's been up to. If you'd like to keep in touch, you're welcome to DM me your email address and I can put you on my newsletter list.

Take excellent care of yourself--a must--and keep practicing 🥰🙏

Would you like to feel lighter, more relaxed, and just better?
This is how people described how they felt after last week’s donation-based class.

On Saturday, we start our 6-week online Gentle Yoga series. For each series that I offer, it is my sincere pleasure to develop each class for the individuals enrolled. As an option, I offer reserved times for my students to talk with me privately about their interests, and then I make choices about postures, breathing, and meditations based on what their goals are. Join us!
