India’s Yoga Legacy for Modern Life

Rasika Sampath

Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Restorative, Yin

I'm a certified 'Yoga Siromani' from Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre, and did my Advanced Teacher Training under the tutelage of Srivatsa Ramaswami, a direct disciple of Sri. T. Krishnamacharya. After about five years of practicing yoga, I decided to leave behind my eight-year stint in the corporate world to pursue something I was very passionate about — teaching yoga. I founded Methuselah Yoga & Life, through which I have been teaching yoga to students across the globe for over 10 years. I believe that there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to health, fitness and spiritual growth. That empathy shines through in my teaching, which beautifully balances ease and effort. I teach vinyasa, restorative and yin yoga, guided meditations, breathwork and pre-natal yoga. I co-founded RaSā Yoga Retreats & Experiences, which are curated to offer space to pause, reset and reconnect with what truly matters. Rooted in both traditional yoga traditions and modern movement science, RaSā retreats combine strength, softness and mindful exploration, both on and off the mat.

I believe yoga is not about perfecting a pose, but about cultivating greater awareness, strength and ease — both on and off the mat. My teaching is rooted in making the practice accessible, sustainable and meaningful, while encouraging each student to listen to and honour their own body.
