The People Behind Aavya
At Aavya, our team is more than instructors or staff. Each person here carries their own journey, discipline, and lived experience. Together, we hold a space where wellness and creativity meet — quietly, honestly, and with care.
Founder
Ashish founded Aavya as a living ecosystem of wellness, art, and meaningful experiences. His vision is simple — create a space where people feel inspired to reconnect with themselves through movement, creativity, nature, and community.
MBBS, MD · Certified Yoga Teacher & Holistic Health Expert
Dr. Rucha bridges modern medicine with yogic science. In her one-on-one sessions, she helps guests understand the root of their concerns and build practical, sustainable routines around diet, movement, breathwork, and emotional awareness. Her work focuses on long-term clarity rather than quick fixes.
Head of Pottery & Cooking Programs
Shivani brings heart into everything she touches — from clay to kitchen. She leads pottery and cooking sessions with warmth and grounded presence, helping guests experience creativity as nourishment. Her classes are simple, hands-on, and deeply human.
Physiotherapist & Somatic Movement Practitioner
Kayla specializes in physiotherapy and somatic movement. Her work focuses on understanding chronic pain, nervous system patterns, and long-held tension. Through body awareness and guided movement, she helps people reconnect with strength, safety, and internal resilience.
Sound Healer & Reiki Master
Ramana is a Reiki Master with a background in Clinical Psychology. Her sessions blend sound healing, classical music, meditation, and embodied movement. Her work supports nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and the awakening of what she calls "your inner medicine."
Movement Facilitator
With over 15 years of dedicated practice, Amit teaches movement as awareness. His sessions cultivate strength, fluidity, and a deep mind-body connection. He guides students toward intelligent movement rather than performance.
Digital Experience & Guest Relations Manager
Abha manages the bridge between Aavya and the world. From website updates to retreat listings and guest communication, she ensures every interaction feels clear, thoughtful, and personal.
Visual Designer
Saloni leads Aavya's visual storytelling. Through design and video, she captures the quiet aesthetic and natural rhythm of the space. Her work reflects calm, creativity, and attention to detail.
Barista & Baker
Mohit brings presence into every cup and loaf. With skill and intuition, he turns café moments into small daily rituals.
Property Manager
Rohit oversees property management and maintenance. He ensures the space functions smoothly, safely, and reliably — allowing the rest of the team to focus on guest experience.
