Our New Studio

Good morning 🌞

Life moves fast, filled with opinions, expectations, and endless distractions. It’s easy to lose ourselves in the noise, trying to meet standards that were never ours to begin with. But beneath it all, there is a steadiness—a truth that remains unchanged. Just like in yoga, life isn’t about proving anything; it’s about connection—breath to body, mind to heart, self to purpose.

Beyond the Ego, Back to What Matters

Hardships come and go, testing our strength and resilience. In those moments, we have a choice: to get caught up in comparison and doubt or to return to what truly matters. Life, like yoga, isn’t about only competition or perfection—it’s about sincerity, growth, and finding balance. When we strip away distractions, we gain clarity, purpose, and the ability to move forward with intention.

Healing Through Awareness

The weight of stress, division, and expectations can cloud our well-being. The pressure to be more, do more, prove more often pulls us away from peace. But just as in yoga, life invites us to pause, breathe, and reconnect. True healing comes from awareness—letting go of what no longer serves us and creating space for balance, authenticity, and a deeper sense of fulfillment.
Love Rajashree 🙏❤️

Happy Women’s Day

Dear Friends,

Time moves so quickly—February has already passed, and here we are in March. I’ve been away from communicating with you for the past month, fully immersed in reshaping the Encino studio. It’s been a busy but rewarding time, and I’m excited to reconnect and share this journey with you.

It’s a reminder of how precious every moment is. Life doesn’t always unfold perfectly, but the true power lies in our ability to shape our experiences and make them meaningful. Over the years, the challenges, travels, and personal growth I have encountered have shifted my perspective. Instead of waiting for perfection, I have learned to embrace the present, finding beauty and purpose in every moment.

Each experience—whether joyful or difficult—has deepened my appreciation for life. Perhaps the unpredictability of events, the lessons from losses, and the unexpected joys have taught me that value isn’t in waiting for things to be perfect but in making the most of what is. The ability to give value for time means recognizing its worth, being fully present, and making each day count.

There is always more to grow and more to learn. From the very beginning, yoga became a part of my life effortlessly—it wasn’t something I had to seek; it was simply there. I started practicing yoga and learned from 5 years old. Many assume I learned yoga from Bikram or that it was a result of marriage, but marriage itself is a lesson—a journey of understanding your relationship with yourself.

My true source of admiration has always been my grandmother, Lavanya Prabha Devi. She embodied grace, strength, and wisdom, which is why I named my wellness program Lavanya Wellness in her honor. While the word Lavanya is often associated with beauty, its deeper meaning is grace—graceful living.

In life, we all face struggles, and survival often feels like a battle within ourselves. But as women, no matter how hard the journey gets, we must never lose our grace in our own eyes. To do so would make living meaningless. I find that true strength is not just about enduring—it is about moving through it with dignity, self-respect, and an unwavering sense of grace.

As we celebrate March 8th, International Women’s Day, let’s take a moment to honor our mothers and all the incredible women who have made a difference in our lives. Your strength, wisdom, and love inspire us every day. Wishing you all the good health, happiness, and success you truly deserve. Happy Women’s Day!”

Love
Rajashree

Yoga’s Popularity in the World is growing.

  • It serves as a prevention and healing modality for all ages.
  • It promotes conflict resolution, empathy, and social harmony.
  • It encourages education and awareness of sustainable living.
  • It creates inclusive spaces and community support.

As the year ends, it’s natural to reflect on what we’ve gained or lost. However, staying present and accepting that we did our best can lead to a healthier mindset. Here’s how to focus on key areas without overwhelming yourself:

1. Health: Prioritize your physical and mental well-being. Small, consistent steps—like staying active, eating mindfully, and practicing self-care—can have long-lasting effects. Yoga, meditation, or simply walking outdoors can ground you in the present.

2. Family: Cherish relationships with loved ones. Even small gestures—like a kind word, a shared meal, or a moment of undistracted attention—can nurture bonds and create lasting memories.

3. Social Involvement: Engage in acts of kindness and give back to your community. Doing good karma doesn’t have to be grand; simple acts, like helping a neighbor or supporting a cause, can make a meaningful difference while fostering a sense of purpose.

4. Small Steps, Not Long Lists: Avoid overwhelming resolutions. Focus on one achievable goal at a time, building habits that align with what truly matters to you.

Testimonials

A Master Class with Rajashree Choudary should be an essential part of any dedicated yogi’s practice. I had the good fortune to attend a nearly 3 hour session on Sunday September 22, 2024 at Hot Yoga on the Island and I was able to immediately apply new aspects of her training into my practice the very next day. Rajashree incorporated her long-standing insights gleaned from beginning her practice at age 4 and extending through partnerships with globally recognized practitioners. The class emphasis was on the medical aspects of the practice. As a physician, I was intrigued by her deep mastery of physiologic aspects of the postures and the relevant benefits to be obtained by attention to the details of the asanas in turn. The session was unhurried, allowing for natural expression of the intended energies to synergistically accumulate. Rajashree effortlessly melded her biological and anatomic knowledge with her Indian cultural experiences, often in Sanskrit, to weave a blended experience of holistic healing. I found myself desiring more medical detail than was offered, likely owing to the temporal limitations. The obvious solution, of course, would be to attend future sessions as they become available. The emphasis on the beginning and ending breathing exercises, pranayama deep breathing and kapalabhati breathing, set the stage for the entire class as well as the sense of well being after the end of the class. Her meditations on gratitude during the final savasana were a perfect complement to the outstanding revelations offered during this insightful experience.
