Key Highlights

All Life is Yoga

Often spiritual practices - sadhana - are treated as separate from everyday life activities. This fragments life but an integral approach can help us to transform any activity of life into a means to spiritual progress when done in the spirit of karma yoga.

Grow with Your Community

Move from struggling alone to growing with a conscious community. For 100s of aspirants, we have seen when we practice with a community, we are able to accomplish what we are unable to do alone. This grows manifold when we lead a community. You will learn to lead one.

You Need Not Be An Expert

We all know "to teach is to learn twice", but often we do not teach, for we feel inadequate. We miss out on a transformative opportunity. Not anymore. You need not be an expert to facilitate. If you are a sincere seeker, that is enough. The course will equip you to facilitate.

Learn by Doing

Often we know the right practices to do, but we fail to bring them into everyday life. In this course, you will bridge the gap between what you know & what you do. Start with something small based on your strength & launch a practice lab to begin actively learning with a sangha.

See what people are saying

Joy of community is something I really experienced in holding my practice lab. The community is always there carrying my back. It does not feel like I am facilitating alone. There is such a beautiful sense of effortlessness.

Harpreet Kaur

Psychologist, National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development, New Delhi. Facilitator, Healing Triad Purnam Practice Lab.

In the past 5-6 months, it is the joy of community that is keeping me alive. There is the consciousness of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. I receive this consciousness through the community. Whatever I have learnt in the past 5-6 months is because of the collective approach. Even I get up early in the morning every single day consistently.

Nikhil Sharma

Research Scholar, Department of Yogic Sciences, LNIPE, Gwalior, M.P Co-facilitator Yoga of Works Purnam Lab

Transformational Practices was one of the best things I have learnt. Because it was unimaginable for me that "simple" things we do can help us in the inner progress. I could remember how my grandmother used to make kolam. I could never understand what motivates her. Now I see the joy, the inner progress, that kept her going.

Adwait Pathak

Technical Program Manager at Wise. Co-facilitator, the Journaling Purnam Practice Lab.

The beautiful collective spaces that we create are so profound that love & gratitude just flow through. Holding spaces becomes just a harmonious journey where many limitations beautifully melt away. 🌸⭐️ The sharing from everyone feels so refreshing & full of love, be it Palak's workouts or Mini's nature walks. It is inspiring & lively.

Priya Ramakrishnan

Facilitator of 10+ Purnam Practice Labs

I received, received & received from the community - a lot of love, knowledge, friends, clarity, depth, a lot of soul. I received a lot that I naturally could not contain it, that I had to give it. It is coming out in different forms: just by holding different groups, interactions with different people. I feel love & I feel like giving love.

Arpita Joshi

Lawyer. Facilitator, Mandala Purnam Practice Triad. Today, she is facilitating its second cohort.

I can do things that I have never done in the past. Had I not been a part of this journey, I would have had doubts & fears. For me, the "no matter what attitude" we learnt really helps me strive hard, develop the will & go steadfast. I am also learning to hold space as a mother, with tenderness & care, & see nothing is mundane, everything is a flow
