About

Sri Lalita is a yoga teacher and Ayurvedic clinician and educator in the San Francisco Bay area. In her teen years, she found her true love: yoga. She’s been in a swoon ever since!

Yoga

A yoga teacher for the past nine years, her practice is based on traditional, nondual tantric Adi-Yoga, meditation and ritual under her teacher,  Dharmanidhi Sarasvati. Sri received her first teaching certificate from him at Yoga Mandala in 2004 and went on to become a Certified Adi-Yoga instructor in 2010. Prior to that, she was certified at Om Yoga Center in NYC in 2001 and studied Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Iyengar with various teachers.

Ayurveda, Herbs and Natural Therapies

Sri’s interest in traditional healing arts developed naturally from her love of yoga and the awe-inspiring, self-healing response of the human body. She apprenticed in the Berkeley Ayurveda clinic with her teacher, Dharmanidhi Sarasvati for five years. There, she studied basic Ayurvedic principles and practices–from herb preparations and traditional diagnostics such as pulse and tongue to marma therapy–chiefly with Dharmanidhi Sarasvati and Mike Dick. Prior to that she studied Shiatsu, Thai massage and Tui Na at San Francisco School of Massage. Currently, Sri continues her studies of herbalism with Michael Tierra, LAc. Her education about healing using food as medicine is strongly shaped by her studies with Nam Singh and Liu Ming.

Pricing

Sri believes that affordable natural healthcare should be available to everyone. Therefore, she has carefully scaled her prices to make health consultations reasonable, but a sliding scale is possible for those who demonstrate need.

Initial Health Consultation: $85
Short Follow-up: $45
Long Follow-up: $65
