JANAKI PATEL
Janaki's namesake, from the ancient legend the Ramayana, was born from the Earth. It follows that her life’s work is to be with the spirit of the land and Cosmos, while inspiring and guiding this connection in others on their journeys.
A crisis of health catalyzed her own path into Ayurveda and Yoga. Lessons from this, integrated with her training and studies with teachers in diverse lineages from India and the Americas, form the basis of her embodied practice. As an Ayurvedic Health Advisor and Ayurvedic cook, she enjoys guiding and supporting others to come back to balance with this ancient wisdom.
Janaki has also worked in multiple bioregions as a garden-based youth educator, organic farmer with vegetables, medicinal herbs, and dairy cows, and she was an educator and guide in Yosemite National Park for many years. She also creates through traditional claywork, textile arts, and music. Janaki is grateful to all of her teachers, the ancestors, and to the Divine within and without.
