Namaskaram r/Sadhguru, I’m Karthik Rao, a Hatha Yoga teacher. I’ll be taking over u/ishaofficial on 21st May 26 & would be happy to answer questions about starting Hatha Yoga, Teacher Training, Sadhana, Balancing life & practices, and sharing Isha’s work consciously on social media, Ask Me Anything!

Namaskaram Everyone🙏!

I’m Karthik Rao, a Hatha Yoga teacher and Isha practitioner since December 2015. I’ll be joining you on 21st May 2026 (Thursday) to answer your questions and connect with you.

My journey with Isha began through Inner Engineering in Bhayandar, Mumbai, and it completely transformed the way I experienced life.

Inspired by the dedication and authenticity of the teachers and volunteers, I eventually went through the Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Program in 2021, which became one of the most intense and beautiful phases of my life.

Alongside my work as a Marketing Manager, I now teach Surya Kriya, Angamardana, and Yogasanas, and also run the Instagram page Karmic_to_Cosmic, where I share content around yoga, meditation, and the inner journey.

Would be happy to answer questions about starting Hatha Yoga, Teacher Training, Sadhana, Balancing life & practices, and sharing Isha’s work consciously on social media, Ask Me Anything!

A woman's value should not be determined by how much or whether she earns. If she works because there is an economic need or if she has a passion for something, that's wonderful.

But it must not be set up as something better to do than just nurturing her children, caring for the family, or just living beautifully.-Sg
