The Art of Living Well
It wasn’t long after we met (in 2016) that we realized we shared a common goal: a commitment to living a life of clarity, vitality, and ease, and a strong desire to share this philosophy with others. Our personalities and teaching styles were different - shaped by our strong individual backgrounds, distinct educational experiences, and respective areas of expertise. We learned a great deal from (and about) one another and soon recognized how these differences could be our greatest strength, both personally and professionally. Yet, it wasn't until we brought them together that we discovered how powerful, complete, and sustainable this joint method of healing really was; strengthening our relationship with each other in the process. Inspired by our successful collaboration, we both felt the world could use what we, together, had to offer. This is when our professional relationship began and Swastha Yoga International was born.
. . .
We are shaped by the myriad decisions we make in our lifetime, and each one either depletes or contributes to the fabric of our well-being. Chances are you’ve made some rather poor choices along the way. We all have. These are bends in a long and often complicated river. At Swastha Yoga International our mission is to empower you to make more aligned choices, and to use those bends to forge a clearer path; helping you get closer to where you want to be. Our method of healing will put you in the driver’s seat of your life; allowing you to increase your self awareness, make better judgements, and ultimately find the purpose and clarity you need. Because only consistent and effective practice will bring you into true alignment—in body, heart and mind—and towards a more natural state of balanced health and well-being.
We call this the Art of Living Well. And the result is Swastha (optimal health).
At Swastha Yoga International, we’ve integrated the wisdom of yoga, the science of Ayurveda, and the principles of Human Development. This holistic approach is the foundation of a teaching philosophy that helps to support, enhance, and sustain optimal health and well-being on all levels. We're proud of our comprehensive, innovative, and life-altering approach. We feel grateful to be able to do this important work and to share our knowledge with you.
Our vision is to build a community of effective leaders, teachers, and practitioners who know the power of authenticity and vulnerability. Who want to contribute to a life of empowered and sustained health. And who are ready to create strong, meaningful and purposeful human connections through which we can all thrive.
We invite you to share in this vision and take this Human Journey with us.

“Swastha Yoga taught me more about myself in two weeks than I have been able to learn in decades. By better understanding myself and the reasons I have made certain decisions in my life I feel so much more prepared to go and teach yoga from a place of connection, trust and love. I’m so excited about my future and what I want to create and that is thanks to what I learned from Kevin and Serena!”
