Bharath Ram is the founder and lead teacher of Adiyogam — a forest-rooted yoga school in North Goa combining traditional yogic knowledge with contemporary therapeutic practice. With over a decade of international teaching experience and a rare blend of academic, practical and lineage-based training, Bharath holds deeply grounded spaces where students feel safe to explore, grow and transform.

Pavithra Shetty
Pranayama & Meditation
Certified Hatha, Ashtanga & Iyengar · Mysore Trained
Pavithra’s yoga journey began in 2019 — a spark that became a calling. After certifying in Hatha Yoga she pursued Ashtanga Vinyasa and Iyengar Yoga with renowned instructors in Mysore, deepening her practice with every step.
She specialises in guiding students — through asana, pranayama and meditation — to subdue the inner turbulence and evolve into the most fulfilled version of themselves. She believes breath work combined with Vinyasa reawakens the vital force and paves the way for profound meditation. Her approach cultivates awareness and the capacity to observe one’s thoughts — the key to genuine freedom.
