Ambashri - Yoga and Wellness
Founded six years ago, this yoga company was created with a simple intention: to make yoga accessible, meaningful, and transformative for everybody. What began as a small community practice has grown into a welcoming space where movement, breath, and mindfulness come together to support both physical strength and inner balance.
Rooted in tradition while embracing modern life, we offer thoughtfully designed classes that meet students where they are-whether they are stepping onto the mat for the first time or deepening a long standing practice. Our experienced instructors lead with compassion, clarity, and attention, creating an environment that encourages growth, curiosity, and self connection.
"Yoga has always been more than a physical practice to me-it’s a way to come home to yourself. This company was built to create a space where people feel supported, seen, and empowered to move through life with greater ease and intention."
Sushma Srivastava - Founder & Lead Instructor
Sushma Srivastava (Yoga Instructor)
With a lifelong connection to yoga, Sushma began practicing at an early age, introduced to yoga practices as a way of life rooted in breath, awareness, and balance. This early foundation shaped a deep respect for the traditional principles of yoga while nurturing a natural curiosity for mindful movement and self study.
From an early age, yoga served not only as physical movement but as a sacred space to cultivate breath, presence, and harmony with the inner self. These formative years planted the seeds for a lifelong devotion to the practice.
Guided by a deep reverence for yoga’s spiritual roots, Sushma formally stepped onto the teaching path approximately 15 years ago, completing professional yoga teacher training and certification. This training deepened their understanding of asana, pranayama, meditation, and yogic philosophy, providing a strong foundation for teaching with integrity and devotion.

Neelam Rath
"I started attending Sushma ji’s Yoga classes a year ago, and she is truly an amazing teacher!
She is an incredibly motivating, and accommodating instructor who tailors the class based on the differential needs of all her practitioners, making everyone feel welcome no matter their flexibility, age or skill level.
I love how her flow seamlessly transitions from movements that build heat and strength to moments of deep , restorative relaxation."
