Why You're Here

You want a calm mind.You've been trying. It's not working.

Your practice is strong, but your mind won't settle. You've tried disciplines, mantras, breathing apps, but the moment you step off the mat, the chatter returns. It's not laziness. It's not weakness. It's design: you're trying to use willpower to solve a structural problem.

Let's solve this together
🌀

Racing thoughts that won't stop

The mental chatter follows you everywhere, on the mat, off the mat, in every quiet moment you try to find.

🔄

Inconsistency that loops back to zero

You start strong, then life happens, then you're starting over. Again. The guilt compounds the chaos.

🏝️

The calm never makes it off the mat

You feel clear in Savasana. By lunch, you're back in the chaos. Practice isn't integrating into life.

⚠️

Plateau or injury from guessing

Without guidance, you're improvising, and your body or mind pays the cost. You need someone who's been here.

The Method

Ashtanga isn't boring.Repetition is the point.

Three pillars, one container for the mind: breath, movement, gaze. Together they make repetition the point, not the problem.

I · Prāṇāyāma
Breath

Ujjayi Pranayama

The victorious breath gives your attention a steady rhythm to follow through the sequence. Every movement is governed by breath, inhale lifts, exhale folds. A deliberate breath makes it easier to notice when effort has become force, and to breathe slowly at the same time.

II · Āsana
Movement

Vinyasa & Asana

The sequential series of postures, linked by vinyasa, creates internal heat that purifies body and mind. The sequence becomes so familiar it requires no thought, freeing your mind to witness itself.

III · Dṛṣṭi
Focus

Drishti

Nine prescribed gaze points train the wandering mind to stay present. Where your eyes go, your attention follows. This quality of concentrated attention eventually becomes effortless, and follows you off the mat.

What You Will Experience

Three things.Guaranteed.

🌍

Portable Consistency

By month two, you'll have built a container that travels with you. Tokyo, Toronto, or your living room, your practice stops depending on perfect circumstances.

Milestone: Month 2

⚖️

Balanced Power

Strength without rigidity. Effort without panic. By month three, you'll notice you're handling stress differently, meeting it with grounded presence rather than bracing against it.

Milestone: Month 3

🕊️

Off-the-Mat Calm

By month four, the quiet you experience in practice will be audible in your life. This is not mysticism. Repetition removes the daily decision of what to practise, and gives you one steady reference point through which to notice change.

Milestone: Month 4

The Busy Professional

Meet Kaajal, The Restless Mind

"I came to YMP convinced I didn't have the discipline for daily practice. After six months, I realised, I do. The structure Sushi created made it impossible not to. Now practice is as natural as brushing my teeth. And my mind? Quieter than it's been in years."

Kaajal arrived sceptical that yoga could do what therapy hadn't. She had been practising on and off for years, never consistently. The pattern was always the same: a strong start, a slow drift, a guilty restart.

By month two she hadn't missed a day. By month six she stopped noticing she was practising. It just was.

The Converted Sceptic

Meet Gio, From Exercise to Insight

"I expected physical progress. What I got was mental. The breathing practice alone transformed how I handle work stress. I'm present with my kids in a way I wasn't before. Yoga is finally doing what it promised."

Gio came in thinking the mental side of yoga was marketing. He kept showing up because the schedule held him. The breath work surprised him first; his colleagues noticed the change before he did.

What started as a workout became a way of meeting his life with less reactivity.

The Plateau Breaker

Meet Anjali, What Better Eyes See

"Sushi's feedback on my practice videos was revolutionary. She saw what I couldn't see in myself, patterns, breath holds, where my mind was escaping. Every audit moved me deeper. I'm not the same person I was twelve months ago."

Anjali had been practising Ashtanga for years before YMP. She didn't need a new teacher. She needed better eyes on her practice. The first video audit named patterns she'd been compensating around for two years.

Within weeks she had corrected a hip rotation that no group class had ever caught.

The Late Beginner

Meet Ramila, It's Never Too Late

"Starting yoga in my 50s with Sushmitha was a turning point. Her patient, personalised approach brought a newfound calmness to my life. My physical and mental wellness have improved significantly."

Ramila, in her 50s, had spent decades thinking yoga belonged to people who were already flexible, already calm. The personalised approach met her where she was. The body opened. The mind followed.

The practice became less about poses and more about the calm that follows you off the mat.

Why Learn From Me

I've been exactly where you are.

Two decades ago, my mind was chaos. I tried therapy, meditation, travel, nothing stuck. Then I found Ashtanga. Not as exercise, but as a practice.

I studied at KPJAYI in Mysore under Sharath Ji and Saraswati, and with some of the last living masters of the Krishnamacharya tradition. That lineage depth is what lets me see what most teachers can't.

Most practitioners are limited by their own blind spots. They practise hard and still feel stuck, not because they lack discipline, but because they've never had someone genuinely watch them and say: here, this is where your mind escapes.

❌No community, practising in isolation
❌No guarantee, if it doesn't work, you lose everything

Not Sure You're A Fit?

Book a short Practice Fit Call.

This page has already answered most of it, so this is not a sales call. It's a short, free conversation to check one thing: whether YMP is right for where you are. Ready to begin? You can enrol directly instead.

Is my experience enough?

We check that your current practice and mobility are ready for the intensive.

🩹

Can my injury be accommodated?

Timezone, injuries, or the 8–10 hours a week, whatever the question, we sort it here.

Then you decide

If YMP fits, you enrol. If not, I'll point you somewhere better. No pressure either way.

Just checking fit: this is a short call, not a 40-minute pitch. Most ready practitioners skip it and enrol directly. If nothing suits, check back in a few days as new times open.

Questions

Answered.

Do I need previous yoga experience?+

You need a foundation, the ability to move through Sun Salutations and basic standing poses. If you've practised six or more months consistently, you're ready. YMP isn't beginner yoga; it's deepening a serious practice.

How long is the programme?+

The core course is four months, at the end of which you receive your 100 Yoga Alliance CE hours (YACEP certification). After that, you can continue with monthly coaching at £50/month for as long as it serves you. Cancel anytime.

How much time per week?+

Up to four live group classes per week (Essence of Ashtanga Vinyasa, Mastery of Mysore Method, Fundamentals of Yoga, plus the fortnightly Connect & Cure) and daily home practice (60–90 minutes, six days a week). Roughly 8–10 hours per week. If life gets messy, we adjust, but consistency is the container.

How do the video audits work?+

Film your home practice on your phone, upload via Google Drive. I watch it, write detailed notes on your breath, alignment, pacing, and mind, and send feedback within seven days.

Is this YACEP-led for CE hours?+

Yes. YMP is YACEP-led and qualifies for 100 Yoga Alliance CE hours. Full documentation provided on completion. Many students join for the CE hours and stay for the transformation.

What about injuries or limitations?+

Every practice is modifiable. We'll talk about restrictions on your Practice Fit Call, or during your baseline assessment after you enrol. I'll teach you how to work around them, modifications that don't break the structure. Ashtanga can work for almost every body.
