About Savitri

For the past 30 years, I have been an Ananda minister (Lightbearer), counselor, and staff teacher at Ananda’s Expanding Light Retreat, and several of Ananda’s branch communities. I have taught hundreds of classes, workshops, and seminars on the chakras. I am director of the Ananda Meditation Teacher Training Program at The Expanding Light.

I offer classes and seminars on Hatha Yoga, yoga philosophy, and meditation skills. In addition to my primary devotion to yoga, meditation, and all related subjects, I am a musician, herb gardener, gourmet vegetarian cook, and nature lover.

I live with my husband, Sudarshan, and our lovely gray cat, Grayson, in our dome-home at Ananda Village. I am happy to receive any correspondence or questions.

Thank you!

Savitri is the author of 3 books: The Chakras Workbook, Chakras for Starters, The Meaning of Dreaming: Paramhansa Yogananda’s Teachings on Why We Dream and What our Dreams Mean, as well as Chakras for Starters CD with music and guided visualizations, and Yoga Postures to Awaken the Chakras DVD that offers an explanation for what the chakras are and what they do.
