ABOUT MITA

Mita’s journey into yoga, meditation and spirituality began early in life and continues to shape both how she lives and how she shares these practices with others.

A graduate of King’s College, University of London, with a degree in Biochemistry, Mita initially pursued a career in accountancy while maintaining a deep interest in yoga, meditation and holistic health. This passion led her to train as a yoga teacher, qualifying with the Vivekananda Yoga Research Foundation in Bangalore in 1992. She has been teaching ever since, sharing the benefits of yoga and meditation with people from all walks of life.

Over the years, Mita has continued to deepen her understanding of the relationship between body, breath, mind and awareness. She is an iRest® Yoga Nidra Level 1 teacher and is certified in Robin Rothenberg’s Restore Your Prana programme, which brings together contemporary breathing science and traditional pranayama practices.

Her holistic background extends beyond yoga and meditation. She has trained in Amnanda and Moksha Therapy and holds qualifications in Reflexology, Indian Head Massage, Prenatal Massage and Holistic Massage with Anatomy and Physiology. Her exploration of Ayurveda, Homeopathy and other holistic approaches has further enriched her understanding of the interconnectedness of body, mind and well-being.

Service is another meaningful part of Mita’s life. She volunteers with the Isha Foundation, founded by Sadhguru, and with ServiceSpace, founded by Nipun Mehta. Through these initiatives, she contributes to a wider spirit of generosity, conscious living and positive change.

At the heart of Mita’s teaching is a simple invitation – to slow down, turn inward and reconnect with the stillness and wholeness already present within us. Through her yoga and meditation classes, workshops and retreats, she offers a space for people to explore this for themselves, cultivating greater awareness, ease and presence in everyday life.

This lifelong exploration of stillness, awareness and the nature of our being inspired her to write Unseen Wholeness, a collection of reflections and contemplations inviting readers to embrace silence, recognise their innate wholeness and discover the quiet richness of simply being.

What others say…

For me Mita’s yoga class is an essential nourishment for my soul and a complete mind, body and spirit experience. I have been attending Mita’s yoga classes for many years and I always go away learning something different after each class. Each class is a unique experience. Thank you Mita!

 HS, Eastcote

Thank you for the lovely meditation training which met all my expectations and more.  Mita I loved your passion and enthusiasm you showed during the meditation course. The course allowed me to experience different forms of meditation which we can all benefit from even those of us who feel we don’t have time.  Thank you for your guidance and in-depth notes.

HB, Stanmore

I am thoroughly enjoying my yoga practice and even on days when I’m sure I don’t want to move or feel unwell, I always come home feeling restored! Thank you.

SN, Sudbury

If anyone has even the remotest interest in meditation and mindfulness and wishes to start a journey of what it may mean to fall awake, then these sessions with Mita will be fascinating, enriching and quite possibly a catalyst for personal positive change and growth.

IGS, Harrow

The course is excellent and has really helped motivate me to meditate. I have become a calmer, happier and healthier person. My mind is clearer and I am able to take all the challenges of my life in my stride. Through meditation I feel as though I can nurture the spiritual side of my self.

PS, Bushey

Thanks again for a wonderful session last night. I am beginning to feel calmer for the first time in a very long time, and – most importantly – to be in control of when and how I can become calm. In addition, I am also beginning to sleep better for the first time in many months, & that in itself is a huge gift. It has, quite literally, changed my life.
