FOUNDERS & DIRECTORS OF AT THE CORE

485 Grangeover Crescent, London ON N6G 4P7
Why do we operate in our neighbourhood?
- This allows us to keep our over-head low and pass those cost savings on to our clients and students. We have not raised most of our fees in years!
- We live what we share and teach. We hope you can see this and that it acts to inspire and motivate!
- Our time and effort are valuable resources. We find working close to home supports a life of calm, peace and ease. And gives us more time and energy for our self-care, our family, our students and clients…..
Inspiring Mentors and Enthusiastic Cheer-Leaders upon your path of meaningful change!
As Vedic Counselors we have each obtained over 10,000 hours of training in courses, classes and retreats with The Forest Academy and The American Institute of Vedic Studies specific to the study of consciousness and the healing of the mind.
We have been blessed to study and work with transformational Teachers of the Spiritual Sciences throughout the world.
These years of learning and experience have allowed us to establish a strongly transformational counselling approach which is both insightful and inspirational.
As Parents and Ayurvedic Teachers our practical and nature-based treatment clinic and boutique spa has grown strong roots from the humble beginnings in our kitchen during years of personal healing and parenting experience.
And through years of hands on healing, Yogesh has proven himself as a profound Energetic Practitioner and Ayurvedic Massage Therapist.
As Meditation and Yoga Therapists we have learned to integrate into the flow of everyday life our years of study and training, our personal daily practices and the challenges and joys of parenthood along with a full time Yoga School and Ayurvedic Clinic.
We have personally supported many students and clients alleviate emotional strain and mental disease through the subtle and effective tools of Yoga and Meditation. We have encompassed a wealth of knowledge and experience as guides in the Arts of Healthy Living and Yogic Healing and over the last decade, we have shared and supported simple and effective meditation practices with over 150 students.

A meaningsful teacher and guide is one who ever remains an enthusiastic student!
Shri Gurubhyo Namaha! As long-time, dedicated students of Dr. David Frawley (Pandit Vamadeva Shastri) and Yogini Shambhavi Devi we are honoured to act as the Canadian affiliate for The American Institute of Vedic Studies – helping to share the Light of the Vedas via Certification Courses and Retreats.
The name inspires and supports our deeper soul stirrings to unfold in this lifetime! During our study pilgrimage to India in March 2016 we were blessed with the spiritual names of Shankari Sarasvati Yogini and Yogi Yogesh Nataraj by our teachers Vamadeva Shastri (Dr. David Frawley) and Yogini Shambhavi Devi. The taking of a spiritual name strengthens our commitment to freedom from the binding ties of form and is chosen specific to the unique gifts and nature of the student.
WORDS OF GRATITUDE
WORDS OF APPRECIATION
“I have been so grateful for the presence of Shankari and Yogesh in London and all they are able to demonstrate in the way of an inspiring, healing lifestyle.
The Ayurvedic dietary considerations have been so helpful for my acid reflux condition, and the yoga for my arthritis, and the daily rhythms for general well-being. Even more than that, Shankari and Yogesh represent a way of looking at life that is warm, compassionate, empathetic, humble, focused, and open but discerning towards other ways of thinking. And they are always learning new things, as may we all! Thank you, thank you!”
– Carol Lewis
