Testimonials:
I participated in both Level I and Level II Yoga Nidra Teachers Trainings with Chitra. In Level I she gave us the tools to start teaching Yoga Nidra by writing our own scripts and understanding some of the philosophy behind it.
In Level II she made us dive deeper into Samkhya and Vedanta Philosophy and we learned how to write scripts for specific purposes.
Chitra makes philosophical concepts accessible to everyone and brings them into everyday life. One can feel that what she says is based on her own spiritual path and listening to her can be a transforming experience. It was also very interesting to have the opportunity of teaching to our fellow students, seeing the different approaches to the practice, and getting feedback from each other and Chitra.
I would strongly recommend these trainings to whoever is interested in teaching Yoga Nidra and also in transforming their lives.

Your Level II training was everything I hoped it would be and so much more. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity and means to sign up for this class with you. You are such a gifted teacher and it's an honor to get to be one of your students. And I am eager to put this training to good use helping others, especially veterans and others who suffer from PTSD.
To share this space with my fellow students, who were all so talented, and to receive teachings by our gifted teacher Chitra Sukhu was such a gift that I will treasure and carry forward in service of others.

Chitra Sukhu

Some people live their Life for a Cause. And Chitra Sukhu is one such Lady. She has committed her Life in diligent Service (Seva) to enhance the Lives of so many Others. Her Cause is, “To Enrich, Empower, and Enlighten (E3) through Yoga, Ayurveda, Vedanta, and Meditation.” Her Purpose (Dharma) is, “To raise the Consciousness of the World, so that All may live Happier, Healthier Lives together as a Whole.” Chitra was born in Guyana to a Family of Indian ancestry. Although raised mostly in the United States, She also grew up in the many Sivananda Ashrams scattered around the world. Chitra’s parents, Yogi Hari and Leela Mata, joined the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Organization when She was four years old. And since the tender age of four, Chitra has practiced Yoga and Meditation daily. Such immersion in this Classical Culture, Discipline, and Celebration of Life has given Her a rather rare orientation for someone in the Western World. Reflecting Inner Wisdom She says, “Even though I come from the Sivananda lineage and respect all Teachers, I don't claim any Guru. My Guru has been Life – and through Life, I have learned My greatest Lessons.” During her University years, while continuing Her “Foundational Practice” of Yoga and Meditation, Chitra also developed an interest in “the pleasures of the material world”, and pursued a career in Modeling and Acting. And while garnering success in this area, She did not attain Fulfillment. Later on, following the 9/11 attacks, Chitra experienced a powerful Spiritual Calling. She recognized the need to provide answers to the multitude of (often disregarded) questions inside a Child’s mind – questions about Terrorism, Killing, Death, Suffering, and the many other complexities of Life. People everywhere were fearful and confused, and these young minds were hardly ever given straightforward answers. She soon realized that many more and more people find it difficult to face stressful and demanding situations, and this inability to cope could be attributed to a failure to recognize One’s Inner Self. Being a Mother, Chitra has always encouraged her Children to meditate and find Inner Peace, a state of Mind, which helps them find the answers themselves. Chitra is an experienced Yoga teacher, registered with The Yoga Alliance at the E-RYT 500 level. She has a Diploma in Ayurvedic Sciences from Kerala Ayurveda. She is also an accomplished Indian classical dancer in the ancient style of Bharata Natyam. Chitra’s Mother, Leela Mata, passed away in Oct. 2021 but was also a spiritual guru and bright light who led many to higher consciousness. She traveled the world teaching Ayurveda, Yoga, Vedanta Philosophy, and Meditation. Leela had a Spiritual Center (Leela Mata Peaceful Valley Ashram) in Pennsylvania. Her Father, Yogi Hari, a Master of Hatha, Raja, and Nada Yoga, is well known and respected around the world, has an Ashram in Florida, and has published over 20 CDs and 3 books. Chitra now continues the distinguished legacy of her Parents' LifeWork. She teaches and leads many Retreats around the world for adults and children. She has “birthed” the organization, New Age Kids Inc. -- a sincere effort to generate well-balanced individuals with a Sense of Self, from an early age. She has eleven Guided-Meditation CD’s and one CD where she sings Vedic slokas. Some of her CDs have become part of the Curriculum at schools. They have proven to reduce stress and confusion for Children, propagating healthy lifestyle, creativity, happiness, and success. She has authored an acclaimed Children’s book, “Elven Rhyme – Journey through Time”. Chitra is now a published Playwright with Her play “To My Amazement”, garnering praise from recent performances in Canada. Chitra was the first to create the Youth Yoga Teachers Training Course (YYTTC) for Youth ages 16-21, Herein, young people can come together to learn more about Higher Consciousness and the Journey of the Self, while becoming Certified Yoga Teachers. Chitra is currently working on a book - Yoga Nidra Awak{end} Sleep. When She is not traveling, she resides in Atlanta, Georgia.
