One practitioner, sharing the path

Old ways of living, uncovered one practice at a time.

Carrying Sadhguru’s vision forward, one drop of spirituality at a time.

I’m not a teacher — I’m someone who found classical yoga and the forgotten ways of India and couldn’t keep it to myself. This is my story, and everything I point people toward: teachers, texts, and practices worth your time.

I didn’t grow up practicing any of this.Like a lot of people, I came to classical yoga and the older Indian ways of living almost by accident — and then couldn’t unsee how much had quietly been lost along the way.

I’ve been a practitioner within the Isha ecosystem for years now, including time spent as a sevadar — not as a certified teacher, but as someone who has shown up, done the work, and stayed close to the practice long enough to know what’s worth sharing and what isn’t.

Programming Buddha isn’t an institution. It’s one person’s ongoing practice, written down as I go — the teachers I follow, the texts I keep returning to, and the older, slower ways of living that modern life quietly trained out of most of us.

If you’re curious where to start, that’s exactly what the resource hub below is for.

Everything I point people toward.

Not my own teaching — a curated path to the teachers, texts, and practices I trust, organized by where you might want to start.

Āsana, prāṇāyāma, and dhyāna as taught in living lineages — where to learn the real thing, not the gym version.

Way of Life

Forgotten Indian Ways of Living

Daily rhythm, food, festivals, craft, and culture — the parts of Bharat's way of life that never made it into a “yoga class.”

Read

Texts Worth Your Time

A short, honest reading list — old texts and translations that hold up, in the order I'd actually read them.
