About Todd Norian, Founder

He has lived an uncommon life, including living like a monk for 13 years at the then-ashram Kripalu Center in Massachusetts.

Todd founded Ashaya Yoga® in 2012 to guide students through an alignment-based, heart-opening practice that gives them access to the universe of power within.

Our Guiding Values:

• HRIDAYA (Heart) - The heart is the very center matrix of consciousness. It is the place in the middle, the threshold, between our individual self and our universal self. Inside this threshold is our unbounded freedom and divine creativity. We seek to honor the heart in ourselves and within every individual with acceptance, understanding, forgiveness, and empowerment.
• SHRADDHA (Belief) - We believe that everything in life is for our awakening and that life has our back. Even when faced with challenges, life is happening for us, not to us. Challenges come only when we're ready to rise up and become bigger. We learn from everything and realize that whatever happens is either love or a call for love.
• KULA (Community) - Kula means family of the heart. We seek to create a safe space within community where everyone feels supported and loved. We embrace diversity in order to achieve a greater unity. We show up in community and we see ourselves more clearly. It's like a house of mirrors that reflects back our greatness and our areas for improvement. We take a stand for equality through action and education.
