Tulsi
Tulsi is a senior teacher here at Mandala Yoga Ashram.
She has been practicing yoga for 35 years, trained as a Satyananda teacher, and has been teaching for over 20 years. Tulsi has been attending courses at the Ashram since 2009 and was a resident here for 6 years.
She is a core member of the team teaching on our 2-year Yoga Teacher Training Course, and is involved in planning, preparing for, and teaching many of our residential retreats and online courses.
Yoga For Growth And Meaning
Tulsi has been closely involved with the Ashram for many years and continues to contribute as an experienced teacher who now lives off-site. During her time as a resident teacher, she played a key role in shaping and delivering a number of programmes that support deep personal transformation and integration of yogic principles into daily life. One of her most significant contributions was the creation of the Developing Sadhana course, launched in November 2021 – a month-long residential immersion designed to offer participants a lived experience of yoga as a way of life and to help establish a strong, sustainable personal practice.
With over 35 years of yoga practice and more than two decades of teaching, Tulsi brings a depth of understanding to her work. Her teaching style is both grounded and transformative, encouraging sincere self-enquiry, emotional and spiritual growth, and the application of yogic tools in the reality of everyday life. She creates learning spaces that are nurturing yet honest, spacious yet focused – helping people move beyond comfort and into real growth.
Tulsi also brings a professional background in supporting people with special needs and mental health challenges. This has shaped her yoga teaching to be compassionate, empowering, and oriented toward long-term positive change. Her passion is to ensure that the deeper aspects of yoga are not just experienced on the mat or during retreats, but are meaningfully woven into daily life.
Although she no longer resides at the Ashram, Tulsi remains connected through selected courses, online offerings, and retreats, continuing to share her experience and insight with those on the path of yoga.
