A members' circle · Navi Mumbai

yujkalpa

yuj · kal · pa noun sanskrit

A circle, not a class. Find a teacher across Navi Mumbai, or step into the circle and stay.

i etymology
yuj
to yoke. to bind. to unite. the root from which the word yoga draws breath.
kalp
an age. an aeon. a great span of time. also, in the inner sense: a vow that lasts as long as one chooses to keep it.

Together, a long, devoted union. Practice as a way of being, not a thing to do.

ii the open door

The directory.

Before the circle, the meeting. We keep a small, vetted directory of teachers and students across Navi Mumbai. Free, always.

I'm looking for a teacher.

iii the four pillars

Inside the circle.

Four anchors across the year. Steady enough to build a practice on. Wide enough to keep the practice awake.

i.

Weekly practice.

Four classes a week with our founding teachers and a rotating circle. Asana, pranayama, sitting. The same room. The same hour. The repetition is the work.

Mon / Wed / Fri / Sun · Vashi, Sector 17
ii.

The Masters.

The last Saturday of every month: a live broadcast masterclass from a teacher you would otherwise have to travel to find. We sit together. We hold the circle after.

Last Saturday · 90 minutes + circle
iii.

The farm day.

One Sunday a month, a coach leaves Vashi at dawn for Roha. Practice in the meditation hall. Eat from the kitchen garden. Walk the orchard. Sit under neem. Return at dusk.

One Sunday / month · transport included
iv.

The retreats.

Four times a year, three nights at the farm. A seasonal arc: quiet in winter, fasting in spring, water in monsoon, gathering at harvest. Small groups. Long silences.

Mar / Jun / Sep / Dec · 3 nights
iv the founders

Anchored by three.

Rekha, Rakesh, and Anuja built Yujkalpa from a decade of quiet introductions: a circle, a farm, and a name for the work they were already doing.

Rekha

Rekha Ubale

For twenty years Rekha has taught yoga in Navi Mumbai: Iyengar-trained, Vipassana-sitting, naturopathy-reading. She matched teachers and students by hand long before there was a directory. She holds the circle.

Rakesh

Rakesh Patil

Rakesh tends the forty acres at Roha: the orchard, the kitchen garden, the meditation hall built of earth. He believes a farm teaches patience the way a mat teaches breath. He holds the land.

Anuja

Anuja Kulkarni

Anuja shaped the directory and the membership: who belongs, how we meet, what stays free. She keeps the front door open and the circle small enough to know every name. She holds the threshold.

v the place · roha, raigad

The farm, two hours out.

· forty acres of quiet.
· a kitchen that grows what it cooks.
· a meditation hall built of earth.
· a mud bath under neem.
· a sky you forgot existed.
100km
Vashi to Roha, two hours through the Western Ghats.
40 acres
Orchards, paddy, a kitchen garden, a hall, a pond.
14 beds
Small enough to know everyone by the second morning.
