about Madhu Nagarajan certified teacher aspiring yoga therapist born in India

Meet Madhu — Your Yoga Therapy Guide


I grew up around people struggling
with trauma and the limits of traditional wellness / healthcare —
and I saw how many,
especially women and veterans,
were left feeling unsafe, disrespected, and stuck.

That’s why I decided to became a yoga therapist:
to create a space where people can heal on their own terms,
with compassion,
and sustainable practices that actually work.

It’s less about “what needs fixing,”
and more about “what can we work with right now.”

Watch the full story on my channel !

I share who I am, why I created this space, and how we can work together to support your healing — gently, and on your terms.

If you’re not a woman watching this — yes, all of my programs apply to you too.
