I’m Sailesh, founder of Acharya Yoga—a space born from my devotion to inner peace, sacred wisdom, and the healing power of nature. My path has been guided by many masters, but also by silence, stillness, and the unseen teacher within. My first teachers were my parents—my father, a traditional shaman, who taught me to listen to the elements, to heal with herbs and spirit, and to honor the deep intelligence of nature. My mother shared with me the devotional practices of prayer, mantra, and reverence for life. As a young seeker, I wandered to temples, forests, and rivers—sitting with sadhus, saints, and sages. I lived with an Aghori master who revealed to me the raw, mystical teachings of Shiva and Shakti. Later, other gurus guided me into the practices of kriya yoga, energy work, and deep states of meditation. From sacred places across Nepal and India, I absorbed the timeless energy of the Himalayan path. In Buddhist monasteries, I learned the art of silence through Vipassana, and touched a deep inner stillness in places like Bodh Gaya and Sarnath—where Buddha walked and taught. Through blessings, I received the gift of Reiki and the sacred science of sound healing. With singing bowls, breath, and vibration, I learned to restore balance—not only in the body, but in the spirit. My path also led me to the meditative language of painting and the sacred sound of the flute, studying under the legendary Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia. Acharya Yoga is the thread that brings it all together—a space to walk gently beside others, holding space for their healing, growth, and awakening. I believe the most powerful teaching is not found in words, but in presence. My purpose is to serve that inner teacher in each of us. Let’s walk this path—heart to heart, breath by breath.
