Among the teachers who have left a deep and lasting impression on my life are Dr. N.V. Krishnamurthy and Dr. Poornima Krishnamurthy of Prajna Kuteera in Mysore, India. Their presence, alongside the wisdom of Dr. Nagendra of the Vivekananda Kendra in Bangalore, Dr. Sundara Rao of Bangalore, Jaisri Lambert, Dr. Sarita Shrestha, Betheyla Anuradha, Will Foster, and K.P. Khalsa, reflects a rich lineage of learning and inspiration.
For those drawn to authentic wellness and contemplative traditions, this kind of mentorship speaks to the value of guidance rooted in depth, care, and lived experience. It is through such teachers that practices are transmitted with integrity, offering not just knowledge, but a sense of connection, perspective, and inner growth.
