Welcome!
Ritambhara enables you to be Dharmic, Powerful and Joyful. Who are we? A group of gardeners creating a small sacred grove that people seeking inner transformation come to.
They sit under any tree that they like and introspect, dialogue or meditate.
Some of the seekers become gardeners and the grove grows.
This is the place
Where body, breath and mind come together.
Where the outer spaces blend with inner spaces
Where searches lead to discovery
And where discovery leads to more searches
Where finders seek and seekers find
This is where your journey towards a rasAtmik life begins…
Welcome to Ritambhara.
Browse, Search, Scroll through the pages to see where your path leads you.
Ritambhara’s offerings are a representation of the core belief of being in harmony with your inner space as well as your outer space.

Difficulty of Being Dharmic
The effects of colonisation are very much present in indigenous societies even today. It is embedded in social relationships, minds, and attitudes and is also held in collective trauma. This lab explores decolonisation and the difficulties humans we face in acting in ways to enliven the self, the other, and the context, which is, in short, termed Dharmic.
Mahabharata Immersion 2024
Our deepest potentials lie hidden in the world of our archetypal energies. The most evocative stories are metaphors of the inner adventure that the hero embarks upon to befriend the dAivic energies and subdue the asuric. It is the discovery of the treasures that the inner dragon protects that the hero gains mastery over her gifts and treasures. The immersion starts at 5pm on Mar 03rd and ends at 2pm on Mar 09th.
Citta Vidya for Educators
Citta Vidya for Educators is Ritambhara’s pilot project for teachers, parents, psychologists and others who are working with young teens/adoloscents.

Priya is a Yoga therapist in the Krishnamacharya tradition. She adapts Reiki & energy work, Vedic chanting, life coaching & Ayurvedic practices in her healing spaces. She is committed to nurturing collectives that have the praxis of Yoga at their heart.
Anisha has been on an exploration to understand herself through yoga for the last 15years which led her to teaching yoga, yoga therapy and inner work through yoga.
Apoorva chanced upon Yoga in her early 20s. A spark was lit within and there was no turning back. Her exploration led her to the Krishnamacharya tradition more than a decade ago. Curious about human behaviour and what drives it, she was thrilled when her search ended (and also began) when she first came upon the Yoga Sutra, which illuminated a path towards answering many questions that had been held for a long time.
Anita is a yoga teacher and therapist in the tradition of Sri.T.Krishnamacarya and Sri T.K.V. Desikachar, a Reiki practitioner and a Life Coach. She is also the founder of Vishoka, a center for learning Indic and energy-based frameworks for living and healing. Her deep concern for human suffering and the problems of unsustainable living kept her on the path of seeking an integrated approach to looking at life, living, learning and healing.
Ankit is a seeker in the wisdom traditions of India. The core of his work includes creating dialogic spaces where people can look within and see the connection between their inner and outer lives. Inspired by the likes of Gandhi, Aurobindo, Vivekananda and Guru Gobind his experiments in service took him back to his roots in Punjab where he is creating a community-led model of higher education which is open, inclusive and accessible for all. Ritambhara for him is a space for engaging in a community which is committed to a DHramic life. He anchors his work of learning and leadership in the Antaranga Yoga Sadhana and the humanistic wisdom of Mahabharata.
