“The river that flows in you also flows in me. I dwell in the heart where love has made its home.” – Kabir (poetic rendering)

Udaysree became a Certified Master Spiritual Life Coach in 2014, focusing on yoga lifestyle coaching that integrates practical teachings with spiritual depth. From 2008 to 2013, she served for four years as a pujacharya and meditation guide at a family Hindu temple, embodying the principles of Bhakti Yoga through ritual leadership and contemplative guidance.
