Asha Gowda
Founder, Ajna Lavitra
Meet Asha Gowda, a seasoned Yoga and alternative therapist hailing from India. With over 13 years of dedicated practice and teaching in the realm of yoga, Asha has become a guiding light for individuals seeking to forge a deeper connection with their inner selves while attaining mental clarity.
Asha’s journey into the world of yoga was not premeditated but rather serendipitous. Wrestling with stress, anxiety, weakness, and fatigue, she turned to yoga and discovered a path to inner peace and equilibrium. Awakened by the transformative potential of yoga, Asha felt compelled to extend these positive changes to others. This drive led her to pursue an MSc in yoga from Manipal University, where she immersed herself in the profound dimensions of this ancient practice.
Her expertise as a personal consultant and wellness coach garnered attention from a diverse clientele, including esteemed entities like TV channels and even the royal family in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Asha’s passion for organizing retreats has also flourished, providing individuals with a cherished opportunity to disconnect from the frenetic pace of life and reconnect with their inner essence.
In 2016, Asha’s journey culminated in the birth of Ajna Lavitra. However, Asha’s quest for holistic wellness did not stop at yoga. Captivated by acupuncture and marma therapy, she integrated these practices into her repertoire, witnessing the extraordinary synergy they create. The combination of yoga, acupuncture, and marma therapy emerged as a transformative force, significantly enhancing the overall health and well-being of her clients.
Currently, she dedicates her time to teaching yoga, as well as she offers online and offline sessions to clients spanning Bangalore, Dubai, Bahrain, and also working as a Yoga & wellness coach for Hombale films producer- Vijay Kiragandoor sir.
Asha Gowda’s profound commitment to holistic wellness, spiritual awakening, and transformative healing has not only enriched her life but has become a guiding light for countless others on their own journeys of self-discovery and well-being.
