Sri Sudarshan practices and teaches under the direct guidance of his beloved Guru, Pujyatman Sri Swami Jyotirmayananda, a true and living enlightened Sage, "The Genius of Yoga," and the last direct disciple of one of the most esteemed and prominent Yoga Masters to have ever lived, Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati. Their ashrams are located at the Yoga Research Foundation in Miami, FL and the Divine Life Society in Rishikesh, India. Sri Sudarshan also received initiation from Sri Swami Rajarshi Muni, a direct disciple of Sri Swami Kripalvananda, at the Lakulish Yoga University in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. These are the Masters, amongst others, whose very being encompasses all of Yoga Teaching.

Sri Sudarshan reminds us of life’s most essential questions and with profound insight and clarity, transforms their ancient wisdom into simple, focused actions for the modern spiritual aspirant.

NIRAMAYAH
KARLA GOMEZ DE LA PENA  |  "To Be Free From All Diseases"

Niramayah is an Ayurvedic Practitioner, Breathwork Coach and SKYLIGHT YOGA Teacher. Her greatest passion is bringing the age old concept of self-healing to our current society that has lost many of its natural proactive abilities and instead has become dependent on receiving synthetic treatments and passive medication. Her goal is to inspire others to learn to trust their instincts, get to know, and love themselves as they are, and help them connect the dots of their present state of health through her therapies, empowering workshops and classes.

Lunaveda, her modality of choice for personal growth and introspection, is capable of changing mental and emotional wellbeing in just one session, leaving you feeling energized, clear and more connected to your truth. Lunaveda was inspired by her own health issues from childhood Asthma and later on Psoriasis. Niramayah's desire to heal herself naturally led her to discover Ayurveda and Yoga. She trained with Vaidya Anita Sharma, a 3rd generation Ayurvedic Doctor, as well as having had the opportunity to study and learn Yoga from Sri Sudarshan at SKYLIGHT YOGA. Niramayah sees life through an Ayurvedic lens where the unexplainable can be explained through ancient holistic approaches, believing in yourself, harnessing your personal power and trusting that the universe has divinely conspired to help you live your highest and best life.

NIRVIKALPA
LAUREN JOBE  |  "Super-Conscious Bliss From Which One Can Never Fall"

Nirvikalpa has been practicing yoga for over a decade and has experienced first-hand the benefits that it has on the body and mind. She completed her Yoga Teacher Training with SKYLIGHT YOGA in India and continued her study of Yoga and meditation while living and working at an ashram in the mountains of Colorado. These experiences and the guidance of Nirvikalpa's teachers helped to deepen her personal practice and also inspired her to serve others and support them on their own journey to wellbeing. She is currently teaching Yoga at Yoga Mala in Bloomington, Indiana.

Nirvikalpa's approach to teaching and practicing Yoga is to keep it simple. In every class, we practice the asanas (poses) with a balance of effort and ease, turning our awareness inward and connecting each movement and breath. Nirvikalpa is grateful for the opportunity to share this practice and empower others to attain their highest potential, both on and off the mat.

UMESH PASYANTU
MAX PUJALS  |  "To See All That Is Good In Others"

"I know that there is no need to find myself, because I have never lost my Self. Faith brought me to Yoga at the Sivananda Yoga Centre while I was living in London. Yoga soothed my heart yet I was too young to realize the special meaning of the path laid before me. Many years later, I joined Sri Sudarshan on the SKYLIGHT YOGA Expedition to India. Through Sri Sudarshan, I met and became initiated into the art and science of mantra with our revered guru, Sri Swami Jyotirmayananda, in Miami, Florida. With vichar (self-inquiry), viveka (discriminative knowledge) and vairagya (dispassion for illusions) further illuminating my understanding, everything took a new and divine meaning. I feel fortunate to sit in the blissful presence of a Master imparting teachings of the Vedas. What I have learned from the Gita, Yoga Vasistha and Bible, and listening to Swamiji, has changed my inner essence and made me a kinder and sweeter person.

I am serving in Miami and Nicaragua and starting a peace meditation center in Nicaragua to promote serenity, humility and devotion. Through Guru’s grace, I am reflecting what I have learned to others, being a pure mirror and living for the good of mankind. Uma Shakti (Cosmic Energy) and admiration for the Divine Feminine in nature helps me recognize God’s grace in all. My inspirations are my Guru, Sri Swami Jyotirmayananda, and Swami Kaleshwar, from whom I learn the scientific mechanisms of Yoga through the absolute wisdom of the Divine. If the truth is the truth, then it is the same from one tradition to the next. There are many masters in our lives for whom we can be grateful for their presence, always and forever. When we come into this path of Yoga, friends of all traditions join their hands and meet in the Divine."

DHANANJAYA
JENNIFER LEVINE  |  "Victory Of Spiritual Wealth In The Heart"

"I like to think Yoga found me." It all started at the young age of 15 when Dhananjaya walked into a secondhand bookstore and saw a book that would change her life forever — "Yoga Asanas" by Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati. Yoga, meditation and self-love became such an integral part of Dhananjaya that she pursued a second degree in Eastern Religion and Culture with a centralized focus on Yoga and Meditation. This illuminating study would prove to continuously shift and take on new forms. It would pave the way for Dhananjaya to explore not only the deeper workings of the Self, but also other cultures and languages.
​
Dhananjaya decided to further her passion for Yoga and was certified in India, the very birthplace of this practice, by her dear friend and Teacher, Sri Sudarshan at SKYLIGHT YOGA. It was during this Certification that her love for Karma Yoga (The Yoga of Action) expanded and she has not stopped sharing, learning and teaching since her immersion. Dhananjaya's journey continues as she travels in search of new cuisine, textiles, lifestyle alternatives, spiritual exploration, existential conversation, and with it, experiential knowledge to live by and share with the world.

VIJNANA
KASIA JABLONSKI  |  "Wisdom Into Action"

Vijnana enjoys learning Yoga through living Yoga. Yoga is both the path and the goal. With this deeper understanding, Vijnana encourages first timers to try Yoga. All one needs to come with is an open and playful spirit. Wherever you are in your practice, consistent Yoga will transform your life as you know it, and there will always be more to learn. With each discovery of truth, manana (reflection) will move you towards purification and further curiosity. Vijnana's favorite verse from the Yoga scriptures is, "What is non-being is never known to have been and what is being is never known not to have been. Of both these the secret has been seen by the seers of truth." - Bhagavad Gita 2.16

Vijnana was moved spiritually when fully-immersed in the birthplace of Yoga, and now seeks to share her learnings from India and SKYLIGHT YOGA Teacher Training. Vijnana teaches a unique flow of classical Yoga; integrating pranayama, asana and meditation principles. Vijnana welcomes and inspires all to look within, and to Yoga, for answers to all of life's questions.

“Yoga has only been in my life for a couple of years, and I am inextricably drawn to it and beyond excited to share Yoga with the world. I know in my heart there are both people to teach and inspire and people to be taught and inspired by. Integral Yoga is a direct path to this, a mesh of both divine and mundane, allowing us to connect on a fundamental level - transcending different experiences, world-views and realities.”
