Satsang with Sudhir Rishi
Event Information
Description
Satsang is a Sanskrit term defined as “gathering together for the truth” or more simply “being with the truth”. Within the yogic tradition, spiritual discourse in the form of questions and answers with master teachers has long been used as a means for untangling life’s big (and small) questions in order to spark spiritual insight.
In this open session, we will meet for informal questions and answers with Sudhir Rishi, covering a variety of topics on spirituality and yoga. We invite all participants to come with an inquisitive mind and an open heart!
This workshop is open to all. There will be an informal reception before the satsang begins. The venue will be open from 16:30 and tea and light refreshments will be available.

About Sudhir Rishi and Veena :
Born and raised in India, Sudhir Rishi worked as an engineer and quality manager before becoming a monk in order to try and answer the big questions including: What is the meaning of Life? Why are we here? He studied Indian scriptures, carried out austerities, practiced teachings and explored the emotional world thoroughly. After two decades dedicated to the applied study of Yoga and Indian Spirituality, he felt a duty to start sharing his learnings with others.
Sudhir is the Director of Sampoorna Yoga School, a highly regarded Yoga Teacher Training school in Goa, India. Leading the school’s much loved philosophy, meditation and pranayama classes, Sudhir has taught thousands yoga students and teachers from all over the world. He is passionate about making his life changing and life-affirming findings accessible and understandable to all through the use of real-life examples and humorous analogies.
Sudhir’s wife Veena, a software professional, has also been a student and practitioner of meditation, healing and spirituality for over twenty years. A font of knowledge in her own right, Veena’s teachings can best be studied through observing her daily practice and the way she lives (in gentle joyfulness!).
About Namita Sharma:
Namita grew up surrounded by spiritual teachings, spending time during her formative years in meditation ashrams (spiritual learning centres) in India and the USA. Over the years, she used yoga as a tool to deal with the stresses of academia and a busy career in the legal profession, but she always wanted to delve deeper into the practice and study of yoga. This ultimately led her to train to become a yoga teacher. It was during her 200 hour and 300 hour teacher trainings that Namita met her teacher Sudhir. She has found his approach and enthusiasm for disseminating the wisdom of the yoga through practical application to be an invaluable gift.
A 500 hour qualified teacher, Namita seeks to provide her students a safe environment in which they are invited to deepentheir practice through self-enquiry in playful yet intelligently sequenced classes.
