You're not alone—and you don't have to wait for the perfect moment.

No experience is necessary—just a willingness to show up for yourself.

Take a glimpse 

Here’s a closer look at the practices we draw from—simple, powerful tools to support you long after your session ends.

  • Tailored mindful movement and postures (asanas) integrating breath and awareness to support physical wellbeing, release tension, and cultivate inner balance.

  • Personalised breathing practices (pranayama) to increase energy and ease stress—expanding breath capacity, recalibrating the nervous system, and enhancing mental clarity.

  • Deep guided yogic relaxation to cultivate calm, clarity, and insight—supporting nervous system regulation and deep restorative rest.

  • Tailored yogic meditation practices (pratyahara, dharana, dhyana) to gently turn awareness inward, welcome all parts of yourself, and support integration—anchoring you in calm presence, where your relative self and your essential self can be experienced in harmony.

  • Intentional hand gestures and subtle energetic locks to support neural integration, physical stability, mental clarity, and emotional balance.

  • Sanskrit sound practices to release mental tension, deepen focus, express emotion, and reconnect you with inner confidence and positivity.

  • Practical insights to integrate more intentional choices into daily life—such as mindful eating, sustainable habits, and purposeful decision-making—aligning actions with values for deeper fulfilment.

  • Evidence-based perspectives to support vitality, expand worldviews, and unlock growth, woven with timeless wisdom—deepening self-knowledge and aligning your purpose and impact in the world.

  • “It has been such a gift to discover Priyadhara's teachings and to practise with her consistently. This has been a time rich in discovery and reflection. Her classes have added greatly to the tools that I have for living a full and joyful life, while not bypassing any of the challenges and complexity! Each class builds on the learnings of the previous classes, so this has felt like a lovingly guided and supported journey, with plenty of surprises along the way. Our classes have become an anchor point for my personal practice and a source of inspiration to draw on throughout busy days.”

  • “I was invited on a yoga and meditation weekend, expecting a few yoga classes and some superficial meditation, but what I received instead were lessons that changed me forever. Atmabhava, was professional, kind, and tolerant. I had never experienced anything so profound before. After the weekend, I felt as if I had found peace and contentment, refreshed and focused. His classes were so beneficial that we organised two-weeks of personalised meditation and yoga sessions for myself and my family. I would highly recommend his teaching for a more peaceful, content life, and for spiritual wellbeing. 5 stars.”

    — Penny Young, Registered Nurse

  • "Priyadhara shares a carefully curated, progressive and traditional practice with absolute authenticity and reverence for sadhana.  It's a wonder how she fits so many aspects of the yogic world into one session, from mantra to asana to pranayama to yoga nidra, and a gentle lead-in to pratyahara and meditation. It's a joy to practise with her, in the true spirit of yoga as you might find in Mother India, not at all watered down—a rich experience to fill the soul and expand out into life beyond the yoga room. Thank you, Priya, for your grounded presence and commitment to delivering the best of this beautiful tradition from your heart.”

  • “Throughout my nearly 40 years of attending numerous yoga classes with a range of teachers, the experience with Priyadhara’s teaching and guidance has outshone them all. I have had the good fortune of attending sessions with her for 3 years. Her gentle, knowledgeable and wise guidance has inspired me to a new depth in my practice as well as enhanced my personal growth. Her comprehensive sessions skilfully incorporate asanas, pranayama breathing practices, yoga nidra, meditation and the sharing of her wisdom and in-depth knowledge of yoga. I can’t recommend her sessions highly enough.”

    — Jocelyn Bristol, Registered Nurse
