Ashesh Joshi

Ashesh Joshi was born in gujarat, India. The teaching of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother found him when he was in his mid-teens. With the newly found reading and with the practice of Integral Yoga came the deep love for the Mother and glimpses of inner life. At twenty, he joined Sri Aurobindo Ashram at Pondicherry in South India and spent next 20 years there. In 2007 he joined the international township, Auroville. At Auroville, he developed Inner-Work-Workshops where apart from using multimedia presentations, he provides a space to ask questions on this difficult subject and receive insights. His method involves formal as well as an informal sharing where questions and study, games and arts and live interactions end in specially devised concentration exercises – small but steady steps towards the inner and higher realisations.

Over time, giving over a thousand workshops at Auroville and several retreats around the world, he has introduced Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga to numerous seekers from all around the world.
