Yoga and ayurveda are techniques to enhance your life, helping you feel grounded, centered, and at home in your being, at one with your nature.
Yoga is not a series of shapes to attain perfection in, but a toolbox of different ways to observe your body, mind, and spirit. How you experience the practice shifts minute to minute, day to day, year after year.
Ayurveda is not an if-then equation, but an art that allows us to find harmony in all aspects of our life, health, and environment if we only take the time to pause and observe the balance of energy within and without.
When we curate our own unique set of practices, these ancient techniques can unlock your path to find your perfect balance of healthiness and happiness, enjoyment and ease, your unique combination of techniques to feel at home.
Trust in your wisdom. Trust your inner Om Fairy.
↠ hear your intuition
↠ trust your knowledge

Courtney Krishnamurthy has been practicing yoga for over 25 years. During her first year of art school she discovered The Sivananda Companion to Yoga. Intrigued, she began to tinker with the various asanas in the book, and then she began to dive a little deeper into the practices outlined, incorporating pranayama and meditation into her practice. From the early days of art school through her days as an online marketing professional, yoga was a constant for no other reason than “it feels good”.
There came a point in Courtney’s practice where she began to discover a new sense of clarity and quiet in her mind. Her practice became the break in her day to hit the reset button and stop all the thoughts of work and to-dos so she could simply enjoy her evening instead of being constantly “on”. It was also during this time that little visions would pop into her mind during practice that delighted the artist in her. Om Fairy was brought to life when, during shoulderstand, Courtney envisioned a small group of fairies trying their hardest to push an om symbol higher and higher, as if they were trying to yank the enlightenment to new heights for her. It’s a funny, fanciful, and most ridiculous vision, but it was a vision that captures Courtney’s belief about the experience of yoga with a “teacher” – the teacher is only a guide, in this case a group of fairies working overtime! Take what resonates from your guide, mix it with your own fairy dust, and discover your right path for you to embrace your goals.
Courtney’s intention is to help others deepen their trust in their own intuition and wisdom with the tools of yoga and ayurveda. She’s experienced first-hand the myriad of ways yoga and ayurveda can better one’s life, and she’s a firm believer that while these practices can transform mind, body, and spirit, it’s not a bad thing if you are more focused on one aspect than another. The most important thing is that you have the tools you need to make a difference in your life and your not too dogmatic in the process - there's always a need to play and explore.
