Our Believe


In our Indian culture, the teacher (Guru) is a symbol of God because a teacher is a person who inspires and elevates the consciousness of the student. As it is written in our “Granth’s” that to find God you need a good teacher who can lead you to the right path. Although television and other social media platform give us a lot of information they cannot lead us toward proper knowledge and the real essence of yoga. Our teachers are extremely knowledgeable and qualified and can transfer this transmission into the students' lives with compassion, love, and continuous support.

The strength and reputation of our school lie in the power and quality of our teachers. We (AtharvYogshala) have a passionate, honest, and humble teaching team with us that are ready to spread and share the knowledge and the ancient wisdom of yoga to make you a better knowledgeable yogi.

Swami Yogrtna was born in Paris of Australian parents and raised in India. She went to school in Bombay, and went on to study art, education, and linguistics in Australia. After studying, working, and travelling, Swami Yogrtna committed her life to the spiritual quest.

Since then, Sw. Yogrtna has given yoga programs all over South India and overseas. She spent several years developing specialized centers and departments focused on fusing yogic knowledge with naturopathy, Ayurveda, and humanitarian work.
