Dear Yoga Aspirants,

I'm very happy to have you in this program which is very close to my heart. I am very grateful to be connected to the lineage of Lakshmi Narasimha through my grandfather, R. Krishnamurthi. I feel blessed to share the embodiment practices and principles of connecting to the energy of Lakshmi as an online course for the first time. 

Please note a few things about the course in order to prepare properly:

1. Please bring a bottle of water and a yoga mat

2. Please have a comfortable place to sit. A lot of time will be spent sitting. If you need a place with a backrest, make sure to have that.

3. Please make sure you have showered or had a bath before the class starts. This is done traditionally before getting initiated into any manthra. Along with a shower, the aspirant is asked to cultivate reverence in their heart for the manthra to land.

4. Each of you will receive a workbook outlining the Ashta Lakshmi - 8 aspects of Lakshmi - as well as contemplations and exercises corresponding to each one. This workbook will be available on the course page on Teachable. We will go through the workbook in the video session so that you know how to work through it over the 8 days. 

Lots of love and looking forward to an abundance of ease and peace,

Yogacharini Maitreyi
