About
Meet Karthikeyan
“I know what it is to face a health challenge with no clear sense of what comes next. That is often where our work begins.”
Before training as a yoga therapist, I spent years as a corporate lawyer. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I began looking for practical ways to take a more active role in my health alongside medical care.
That experience led me to study yoga in greater depth and complete an MSc in Yoga at S-VYASA, including research on burnout and sleep. My work now brings together traditional yoga, research, careful assessment, and lived experience.
Participant experience
What participants have noticed
“I feel grounded, calm and grateful. The holistic approach of the programme with large toolkit, structure including group contributions and the group's commitment to showing up for every session was most helpful. I am very grateful for this life changing experience.”
“I cannot recommend Karthikeyan's approach enough to anyone interested in authentic yoga or interested in exploring themselves. He does an outstanding job at facilitating that journey.”
“I feel like I am able to take deeper breaths and I am able to calm myself down faster if I am anxious. The programme has given me a better ability to integrate yoga into my daily life and routine.”
“Karthikeyan is an outstanding yoga teacher who combines deep expertise with genuine warmth. His sessions are transformative, offering practical tools to manage stress and cultivate inner peace.”
“I now practice every morning. In daily life I am more aware of the distance between myself and my body, between myself and my emotions. There is more structure in my inner world.”
“The regular yoga sessions helped me so much and supported me in a difficult period of my life. I found inner peace, strength, bliss, and hope.”
Common questions
Questions people ask before starting
What is yoga therapy?
Yoga therapy uses the tools of yoga, such as movement, breath, relaxation, attention, and reflection, applied to your specific health situation. It is a structured, individualised process rather than a general class.
Is it a replacement for medical or psychological care?
No. Yoga therapy works alongside the medical or psychological care you already receive. It does not replace it, and I will never ask you to change or stop your treatment.
Who is it for?
People managing an ongoing health concern such as burnout, anxiety, low mood, or a condition like multiple sclerosis, who want to take an active role in their health alongside their existing care.
Is everything online?
Yes. Sessions and programmes are delivered entirely online, so you can take part from wherever you are.
How long does it take?
Meaningful change takes time. Our current therapeutic group programmes run over eight weeks, giving participants time to learn, practise, review, and adjust.
What does it cost?
Each programme is priced individually, with the details on its page. The consultation is always free.
