You may know Sumanasa as a fantastic Yoga Instructor, she also practices Ayurvedic Mind Counseling and Private Yoga Therapy at Yoga Mandala.
How did you get into this line of work?
I had sincerely tired of my own suffering and was determined to find the way out. It didn’t take long before I was catapulted by Grace down a winding path that eventually led me to the Tantrik teachings of Hatha Yoga and Ayurveda. My Guru, Dharmandihi Sarasvati, then reflected back my capacities and encouraged me to actualize my potential, for the benefit of all beings.
What three adjectives would you use to describe your work?
Intimate, inspiring & transformative.
What is the biggest lesson (or lessons) you have learned through your therapy practice?
It has become so clear to me that we are all One, with slightly different flavorings. Both suffering and love are born from this Reality and each has the potential to lead us back to that exquisite Truth. Our relationships to self, other and the universe are the most valuable, transformative and rewarding aspects of our lives.
What do you look forward to doing most on your day off?
Taking a yoga class at Yoga Mandala, catching up with friends over a nice meal, staying quiet and keeping the excess vata under control.
