Our Mentoring Courses
Reveal your birthed nature.
Understand how to work with yourself in elemental harmony.
Manifest your own health and happiness.
In just a few simple steps, discover how to enhance the innate characteristics which make you glow – and empower yourself to gently let go of the ones which don’t.
Your journey to wellness needs to be a personal experience. This can mean a lot of trial and error while you find the methods that truly work for you. Through pinpoint diagnostics and a holistic approach, this course allows you to skip straight to a breadth of proven techniques – specifically chosen to match your unique temperament and tendencies. We need to balance ourselves, but this doesn’t happen in one moment, it’s a whole science.
Authentic yoga practice has to be customised. We are all unique.
We’ve developed holistic courses tailored to your nature with progressive yoga sequences, supported by a personalised nutrition plan.
Over time and with experience, each practitioner comes to this intuitively. He or she understands what kind of practice they require at a certain moment and, depending on the goals, selects methods that are suitable for their nature and tasks. This is how the knowledge of yoga has passed on for millennia. A teacher individually gave different techniques to a student, depending on the qualities of each individual. The modern pursuit of scaling up self-development systems and one size fits all yoga culture goes against these principles.
“ I reveal the law in its multifariousness with regard to the inclinations and dispositions of creatures. I use different means to rouse each according to his own character. Such is the might of my knowledge. Gautama Buddha SADDHARMA-PUNDARÎKA Sutra, THE LOTUS OF THE TRUE LAW. Translated By H. Kern (1884) Chapter II.SKILFULNESS
The same personalised approach we find in the Bhagavad Gita where Krishna reveals:
“In the beginning, I created two Yoga approaches in the world. The first is the Yoga of Knowledge for those of contemplative minds. The second is Karma Yoga for those of an active bent of mind.” III.3 Bhagavad Gita
Not many people realise that the famous Patanjali, the author or compiler of the Yoga Sutras (the main text used for most Yoga teacher training around the globe), was himself an Ayurvedic doctor.
One of the first pillars of Yoga Sutras Patanjali is Yamas and Niyamas ('moral codes', or ways of 'right living'). One of the Niyamas is the yoga concept of svadhyaya which means "your own dhamma" or "your own way." Svadhyaya means studying the teaching (adhyaya) that is relevant to oneself (sva).

The examples above speak for themselves.
The approach used by the greatest teachers in the world is to give knowledge according to the nature of the individual.
We combine contemporary understanding with the ancient scientific wisdom of Ayurveda, Slavic shamanism, Buddhist principles and nutritional study. This comprehensive program facilitates accurate, relevant teachings which bring you closer to your goals.
Our diet recommendations and meal plans are based on the latest scientific understanding of holistic nutrition, seen through the lens of Ayurvedic personalisation, and rooted in the fundamental principle of ahimsa – non-violence towards all living beings.

Who are those courses for?
Our courses are aimed at a wide audience – those who are interested in personal development and gaining health and balance in life and are ready to invest time in practice. Like classical yoga itself, the practice is suitable for everyone, but in the case of chronic diseases, we recommend consulting your doctor.
For beginners who have already taken their first steps in yoga.
If you have already practised yoga a little, the course will help lay the foundation for successful self-practice. To some extent, the beginner is in a better position than one who has been practising without realising their characteristics and how yoga and nutrition should adjust accordingly. Those who start well can make rapid progress without negative consequences and retraining.
For experienced practitioners of different systems of self-development.
For those who have tried a few types of yoga and want to find the best path and get serious, this is the best match. Our approach will help you to look at your body in a new and holistic way, rebuild the practice according to yourself and avoid injuries. The course includes techniques that accelerate the processes in your physical body and develop the powers of the sub-doshas. This speeds up individual progress.
Self-employed, managers and directors
This may be well suited to those who value their time and want to get the right tool for the job of uncovering their full potential. The practice will help you be less reactive while giving you the energy to serve yourself and your community.
For practitioners of meditation and breathing practices.
The main instrument of our life is attention. Unidirectional attention is associated with the rhythm of breathing, which directly depends on the contraction of muscles and internal organs. The balance of muscles and the awakening of the capillary network allow you to naturally pacify your breathing and effortlessly direct your attention to consciousness – the essence of meditation. The practices in the course also promote muscle balance for a straight back. This will help make your attention unidirectional and steady.
For teachers of Yoga and Ayurveda who like to expand their expertise
To enhance understanding of the interconnection of the sister sciences of Yoga & Ayurveda. Finding inspiration, getting support and guidance for deeper practice.
For foodies
Who want to find knowledge that is relevant to their specific body and digestion.
SUPPORT
We use a daily bite-size micro-learning course system, so it’s easy for you to integrate the knowledge for the best results and understand the course material step by step. You will be part of a community of learning, with access to online and in-person peer-to-peer support so that you can compare notes with others on a path to self-realisation. You will also be able to deepen your practice on our regular retreats.
Reviews
Anna L.
“This was one of the most LIFE CHANGING experiences ever. Dmitry is such an incredible knowledgable and humble teacher. He really embodies the practices and is able to tailor the approach to suit each unique persons needs.”
Bob S.
“This is the real deal. If you are looking for a true expression of the essence of Yoga you don’t need to look further. The teachings and course leadership are authentic and based in deep understanding of yoga. I can’t recommend this any more highly “
Zoe K.
““Just wanted to say that my life has changed since I began working with you guys. Wanted to digest it all as I’m still welcoming a lot of new things in because of the practises. Been really vibing high this last week and wanted to say your teachings are still helping me every day. Fortunate to have you as a teacher.”
Kim A
“Lots of valuable information and a very well presented teacher training in Ayurveda… learning about doshas, which foods are best for your type and how to prepare a nourishing balanced meal, also how to change things when you are out of balance… The same with the yoga postures, which postures suit you etc, and lots of balancing prana/breathwork to wake you up each morning… highly recommend the beautiful retreats Sadhama has to offer”
Are You Ready to Transform Your Life with Ayurveda?
Is this course not suited to you? Ask yourself this:
You have two options. One is to randomly try different diets, lifestyle changes, and self-development techniques, hoping something sticks. The other is to truly understand yourself first – to learn about your unique nature and then apply the right nutrition, practices, and tools specifically tailored to you. Which option sounds wiser?
When we ignore who we are at our core, it’s like trying to use a microwave as a fridge – we miss the mark entirely. But when we understand our own nature, we can choose the right methods to thrive.
If only I’d known this approach years ago! It would have saved me countless trials, eased stress, and even transformed my relationships and career. Don’t make the same mistake. Learn how to nourish your body and spirit before years of toxins and imbalance take their toll.
This course offers the principles of Ayurveda in a way that’s practical and accessible, setting you up for decades of health, happiness, and conscious living.
The time is now – are you ready to take control of your wellbeing? 🌱
Guaranteed refund
If you see it’s not working for you, we will refund your money within the 1st week.
Test drive
We have two short courses which are offered on a Dana principle, meaning you choose the value of it yourself.
The course includes a proven yoga set to open up and get your hips and shoulders ready for the task, even if it’s 12 hours of meditation a day. Crafted during Dmitry’s last month-long meditation sit, it’s been practised, perfected and condensed into 1 hour of feel-good Hatha yoga to warm up your joints, and an activating breathwork sequence to energise and sharpen the mind. There are also exclusive video interviews and a set of recommendations from experienced Vipassana meditation teacher and Buddhist monk Anthony Markwell.

Recorded for those who need a quick solution to activate, attune and charge yourself for the empowering day in a short time frame.
The course consists of 3 steps – the introduction to the sequence, the practice video and the essential tips to unlock the practice.
The course is recorded straight after Sadhama’s personal silent retreat to transmit the generated energy.
