Sushmitha Shrikanth

Hello, I'm Sushmitha (Sushi Yogi), an Ashtanga teacher in the Krishnamacharya lineage with twenty years on the mat and a decade teaching full time: more than seven thousand sessions across three continents.

I trained at the source of Ashtanga at KPJAYI in Mysore under the late Sharath Jois and Saraswati, completing the Intermediate (Second) Series, with formal Hatha training at Kaivalyadhama and years of classical Vedanta study from my teens. I also hold a degree in Western Philosophy from the University of London, so I teach the why, not just the how.

My classes are precise and grounded rather than performative. I name the pose, the Sanskrit term and the body part, because precision is what turns repetition into real progress, on the mat and in a steadier mind off it. Expect breath-led Ashtanga and Hatha, pranayama, meditation and philosophy woven through.

I have taught everyone from four-year-olds to pensioners, in shalas, studios and boardrooms, including yoga for refugee women through UN projects in East Africa and corporate wellness for teams at KPMG, Dashlane and Hyatt. I teach internationally at Stillpoint Yoga London and am a Liforme Ambassador. I am certified E-RYT 500 and AYI 200 and a registered Yoga Alliance continuing education provider (YACEP).

Whether it is your first class or your thousandth, you get an experienced teacher who meets you exactly where you are. Beginners are welcome, and experienced practitioners and teachers wanting to deepen their practice equally so.
