The turtle is a powerful depiction in yog representing the ability to function both in the external and internal world. The sun represents knowledge

ayu is about liberated living; living life joyously with grace. 

To nurture
 tranquility, peace and stability in the midst of disruption, chaos and stress; to move beyond the boundaries of self love to universal love is the scope of the practice shared by Jyoti. 

Introduced to yog (popularly yoga) at age 8 by her father in 1969 she learned the basic tenets of yam, niyam, asan and pranayam from him. Formal training started at age 11 in Patna, Bihar.

She is also a disciple of Himalayan Master Yogiraj SatGurunath Siddhanath whom she first  saw in a vision in 1998 and then personally met at his forest ashram in Pune a few months later. She trained under him in the true Guru-shishya Parampara for over 24 years. As a senior disciple and ordained Hamsakriyacharya, she shares the sacred practice of Siddhanath Hamsa Yoga, Surya Yoga and Mahavatar Babaji's Kundalini Kriya Yoga since 1999. 

In India she has a centre in Chandigarh; other cities she travelled to are Rishikesh, Delhi, Gurugram, & Dehra Dun. From 2011 to 2019 she travelled extensively to Australia holding classes in Sydney, Melbourne, Ballarat, Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Perth, assisting seekers to find inner peace and equilibrium.  


She has developed her own unique powerful pranayam and chakra sadhana tools to help practitioners to move deeper into states of self-realisation while transforming debilitating qualities into inner strength.

A repertoire that birthed from her own personal practice of over 50 years. These practices bring ease and well being to folks engaged in the turmoil of daily life. They aid the practitioners to immerse into the well spring of joy and love that is at the core of their own being and radiating the same to others. 

Holding a bachelors degree in Philosophy and a post graduate diploma in Journalism, she writes humorously about serious spiritual topics in her inimitable style. Her first book, One Master one disciple -peeling of an onion
, is about discipleship and the second Yog Uninterrupted is about the grace, the learning, that ensued from that sacred divine commitment to the Guru.
 

Today while deepening her own sadhana, she is putting together an archive of yogic practices to be made available online. Totally dedicated to helping others find the deep love she discovered in her own journey through yog. 

It is Jyoti's heartfelt understanding that yog (a) cannot be a means of livelihood but a sacred practice to be shared with others devoid of expectations of remuneration. The nominal fee, chosen by the seeker, acting as a  ऋण भङ्गुर – a liberation from debt
   

"An advanced yogic realisation is that everything has consciousness, the rocks, the trees, the sand underneath our feet, the chair we are sitting on, the bed we lie on, the space we occupy; the universe a living being with every atom infused with intelligence. The ultimate goal of yog sadhana is for the individual spirit to realise its essence to be the same as the vaster universal divine spirit, call it whatever you will. and in the finality of realisation become One with it," she says. 
 

Achieving this seamlessly by combining ancient yogic practices within modern day living is the purpose of ayu.  
 

At ayu, together we take the step towards awakened liberated living.
