DEVOTED TO SELF
Mentorship Program
This is a commitment for those who wish to go deeper into the exploration of self, cultivating a regular practice or deepening an established practice (physical exercise, asana, mindfulness, mantra, meditation, pranayama, contemplation, or other), wishing for lifestyle changes and to embody healthier habits, bringing purpose to the forefront, taking a deep look at core values and living in alignment, enhancing self-expression, taking responsibility for contentment, willing to see and embody themselves fully. It is for those those who want to get centered, empowered and more connected. This is for those who want to nurture confidence and clarity, receiving support and guidance along the journey.
It is an evolution based program (3 months, 6 months or 1-year commitment) uniquely tailored for each individual (in terms of phasing, pacing and content). We believe that it takes time to create new grooves in terms of thought patterns, beliefs, emotional responses and behavioral patterns, hence we recommend committing to a year of exploration. This is a sacred container for growth.
Why? Because there is beauty and wisdom to be found in our ordinary experiences that serve as the arena for practice. Nurture your connection to self / source / spirit through the mirroring of mentorship.
No previous experience necessary. Choose to show up for yourself - with an open heart and mind.
Very limited space. Application process for acceptance into the program.

About
Hansa has her heart in nature and deep silence. Her personal sadhana (spiritual practice) is to embody yogic values and living a sattvic, conscious, sustainable and simple life. She serves the greater community by showing up for others on the path, in a myriad of ways. VICHARA is one of the means of doing so, through privates, group sessions, immersions and workshops. Her prayer beads, NO MIND MALA, is another way she provides support.
She practices Ashtanga yoga and studies different wisdom traditions and yogic philosophies at depth. She deeply resonates with and shares from experience the perspectives of Advaita Vedanta (non-dualism) and Kashmir Shaivism. She has nurtured a steady sadhana for the last 22 years and has been teaching in Ridgway since 2010. Her deep dive into a daily asana practice started in the Sivananda lineage, then the Satyananda lineage, which eventually lead her to the Ashtanga method. She has participated in numerous Vipassana 10-day silent retreats and hosted vedanta retreats in the lineage of Swami Dayananda Saraswati.
Hansa’s academic background is in public health (Karolinska Institute, Sweden) and nutrition (Uppsala University, Sweden), as well as marketing and communications, which led her to move to India in 2008. While living in India she was part of the core founding team of ACCESS Health International, a global think tank tackling some of our current times most urgent health related challenges and opportunities.
She lives in Ridgway, Colorado, with her beloved husband Jyoti and huskies Satya and Sage.
