A yoga school in Whitefield, rooted in an unbroken lineage.

My journey began as an aerospace engineer — trained to understand structure, precision, and systems. Yet, somewhere along the way, I felt that understanding machines was not enough. I was searching for something deeper, something meaningful that addressed the human system itself.

That search led me to yoga.

What started as curiosity slowly became inquiry. Inquiry became practice. Practice became discipline. Under the guidance of my teacher, Pradeep Sattvamaya — a direct disciple from the Bihar School of Yoga lineage — I began to understand yoga not as exercise, but as a complete science of cultivating consciousness, personality, and creativity.

My work today is rooted in application. I believe yoga should make a person independent — physically stable, mentally clear, emotionally balanced, and capable of self-observation. “Sharing is caring” is not just a phrase for me; it is the foundation of my teaching. The goal is not to create dependence on a teacher, but to develop the ability within each student.

Educational background in Psychology and Sociology. Passionate about yoga as personal evolution and improving social interactions.

Natraj comes from a life of travel and lived experiences. That sense of curiosity gradually turned inward, leading him to explore himself more deeply.

Along the way, he has learned through many paths — and continues to remain a student. Yoga is one of those ongoing journeys. For the past five years, he has been practicing and teaching with us at Pratyaksha Yogashala.

His teaching emerges from experience rather than theory alone, with a growing sensitivity towards body movement, awareness, and individual needs.

Preethi Lokesh comes from a background in classical singing and has always explored disciplines that support her artistic journey. Her connection with yoga began when she experienced how naturally it brought balance both within and outside.

She started her practice with Pratyaksha Yogashala and went on to complete her Teacher Training with us in 2023. Following this, she assisted in yoga therapy sessions, where her understanding deepened through practical application. She further refined her skills through our Teacher Development Program, continuing to grow in her role as a teacher.

Today, Preethi is an integral part of our teaching team. She remains a student at heart — learning, observing, and evolving. Her sensitivity as a musician blends seamlessly with her approach to yoga, bringing a sense of calmness and depth into her classes.

Jyothi grew up in a family deeply rooted in Bhakti Yoga, where devotional practices, family satsangs, and spiritual gatherings were a natural part of everyday life. From an early age, she was immersed in an environment where yoga was not just a practice, but a way of living and relating to the world.

This early exposure nurtured a deep curiosity about the seen and the unseen, and the many ways we interact with life. Over time, this curiosity evolved into a more conscious personal practice and a natural inclination toward guiding others.

In 2023, Jyothi completed her formal yoga teacher training, bringing structure and depth to a path she had been connected to since childhood.

Her approach to yoga is rooted in sustainability and care. Jyothi's teaching reflects her personality — present, thoughtful, and open to exploring different ways to support her students. She encourages a practice that is adaptable, supportive, and integrated into daily life, helping students build a meaningful and lasting relationship with yoga.
