INTRODUCTION MANUAL
A letter for you...

Dearest Satvic Family,

With warmth and gratitude in our hearts, we


welcome you to this wonderful journey of the
21-day yoga challenge. We are thrilled to know
that you are willing to show up on your mats
every single morning for the next 21 days. It's a
commitment that you have made to yourself
and we will do our best to support you.

Our classes will be a combination of knowledge,


asanas, pranayama and relaxation. We will
also share with you knowledge on food,
detoxification and what it means to live a Satvic
life. After each session, we hope you experience
an abundance of energy and a feeling of
lightness in your body and mind!

The best part about these 21-days is that we


are in this together as a community. You are not
alone. Not only do you have our support, but
also the support of hundreds of others who are
joining the challenge with you.

We feel blessed to be sharing these 3 weeks


with you.

Harshvardhan and Subah Saraf


Your Mentor

RADHIKA GUPTA

Radhika Gupta is a certified


Satvic health educator and
Ashtanga Yoga trainer. She
began her journey into Yoga
after she was diagnosed with
cancer at the age of 28, starting
first with the philosophy and
then the asana practice. She
saw immense benefits in her own healing through her practise
of asanas and pranayama, which inspired her to do her
teacher’s training course from Mysore Mandala Yogashala. The
course changed her life and ever since she has strived to bring
awareness about the practise to as many people as possible.

Till date, Radhika has conducted over 50 health transformation


workshops and 30 yoga workshops. She has also been actively
