About Sudha
My journey has taken me from New York City to India, transitioning from a network security engineer at Bell Labs to exploring new horizons in the search for a deeper existence. In 2005, feeling unfulfilled with life, I explored performing arts and yoga in NYC, studying acting at The Stella Adler Studio, yoga at Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center, dance at Broadway Dance Center, modeling for Fashion Week, hosting a radio show, and acting in a Tamil film.
A life-changing stay in India led me to found DiscoverSwasth in the US, a non-profit dedicated to Art and Healing. Still on the search, I explored theatre, studied art therapy and permaculture and taught movement and acting for children. In 2018, after teaching yoga for more than a decade, I began sharing insights through “Breathe with Sudha” videos and holistic wellness coaching.
In 2022, life led me to starting A Sunlit Path in Auroville, India, a center for art and healing. Here, I bring together experts in the various fields of art and healing to offer classes and retreats while I offer yoga-based classes and retreats, aiming to provide a supportive space for seekers and serve through my diverse experiences.
