Who We Are
We are Deepthi and Medha.
We are practitioner-scholars of yoga with over twelve years of experience each, working at the intersection of inner development, education, and systems change. Both hold a Master of Science in Yoga from the Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana (S-VYASA), India.
We met during our 300hrs yoga teachers training in 2016 and through our conversations we realized that we share a core premise: meaningful social transformation requires coherence between inner and outer systems. The habits that shape our bodies and minds scale into the behaviours that shape institutions, economies, and ecosystems.
Deepthi Rao works on bridging consciousness-based practices and environmental systems. After nearly a decade in yoga education and research, she pursued a Master of Science in Environmental Studies at the University of Pennsylvania (2025), focusing on environmental justice, regenerative agriculture, and responsible business practices. She now works in sustainability research and advisory, supporting climate policy, ethical sourcing, and regenerative strategy development. Her approach advances climate solutions that are ecologically grounded, socially equitable, and informed by inner awareness.
Medha Bhaskar co-founded Amrutha Bindu Yoga, a Bangalore-based yoga school, in 2015. She has worked with over 3,000 students and has led the design of teacher training curricula that reimagine classical yoga pedagogy for contemporary contexts. Her work integrates philosophy, movement science, and community-building, extending yoga beyond postural practice into inquiry, ethical action, and behavioural alignment. She also edits a monthly newsletter exploring yoga philosophy and its relevance to modern life.
