Our Founder
Sahna Vaidya
Holistic healing has been a part of the Vaidya Family for decades. She was born into the wellness regime which was inculcated into my roots from the age of 6. It was a ‘natural calling’ for her to have entered holistic healing & once she realised that, she got into learning Yoga, reading books on Ayurveda, Diet, Nutrition etc.
Her Father is a retd. Banker and mother a homemaker and are national certified Yoga teachers from 2006. They believe, preach & follow organic living for complete health for decades.
Her late grandfather Mr. Vasantrao Vaidya was a very renown Ayurvedic doctor of his times, and served the society for more than 60 years. But what fascinated people more about him was he was a Sanskrit Pandit and had read vedic scriptures, Saint literature & philosophies. He wrote books, and conducted distance classes through letters on Indian philosophy and hence her entire childhood was surrounded my wonderful stories from Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagwad Purana, Vedas, Upanishadas, Ayurveda. He sowed the seeds of studying philosophy more scientifically through his talks and teachings of Bhagwad Gita.
A computer engineer by education, Sahna Vaidya as hobby & liking during college days studied Ayurveda & philosophy as subject of interest and got into a chance meeting with the District superintendent of Police who asked her to conduct yoga for the district police forces. That’s how her journey into yoga started in June 2008 as a teacher. The chain went on with Wellness Workshops with the rural co-operative societies in and around Western Maharashtra, then with the District Police Forces [at Sangli, Pune, Mumbai, Khandala, Jalna, Solapur], 158 Local Schools in the Kolhapur vicinity, Educational Institutions in the Mumbai Pune belt making it a total tally of more than 650 workshops ranging from an hour to 40 hours spread over 1 to 7 days by 2012.
With Philosophy as her subject of liking and Bhagwad Gita as my favourite text she got into conducting lectures too.

Sahna ma’am, has been one of the driving force for me to take up and pursue UPSC. It was because of her detailed counseling and guidance, the big picture of oceanic UPSC syllabus and approach became clear.

Blessed with a vast wealth of experience, the courses conducted by ma’am are precise, to the point and covering all the subject parameters which one can expect from the UPSC.
