Sattva Yoga
The Journey of Sattva Yoga
Sattva Yoga is a platform to share Yoga Practices and holistic health approaches.
​
Alok Krishna and Francesca formed Sattva Yoga in 2021 with the intention to share the experiences and practices that have helped them on their journeys. Sattva Yoga is their way to serve and give back to the community.
Alok was fortunate to have been introduced to yoga at a young age. He was born in Pune and grew up next to the Osho Ashram, where he was exposed to many global perspectives & met different international truth seekers.
​
Although he was drawn towards music, dance and yoga, he completed his studies in Aviation before working in the corporate industry for 8 years. It was then that he really understood and realised the need for internal balance and mental stability to be able to live a peaceful and blissful life.
After spending time at the Sivananda Ashram, Alok completed his yoga teacher training in 2021. Since then he has been sharing holistic practices from a traditional lineage of Swami Sivananda and loves to organise singing circles & group chanting as it fills the heart with love.
Francesca was born in Venezuela and then grew up in the UK. Her grandfather was a devotee who dedicated his life to the spiritual path. After completing her studies she began travelling, spending long periods of time alone in nature. In 2018 she first visited India and was properly introduced to Yoga. It was at that time she transitioned to a sattvic plant-based diet.
​
After seeing the effects that a natural diet have on the body and mind, she began to study detoxification and the use of food to reverse lifestyle diseases and to support yoga practice.
Since then she's spent time in Mysore practising Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, and in Goa, dedicating herself to plant-based cooking, kitchen gardens and organic living. She loves to serve through her culinary skills and has a real passion for working with organic farm ingredients.
