Sadhya Soumya

​Soumya Kristin Renee has been a dedicated student of Acharya Shunya since 2012. Immersed in the profound teachings of the Vedas, she has studied under Acharya Shunya's guidance in the traditional "gurukulam" manner, embracing the rich spiritual heritage of Vedanta, Yoga, and Ayurveda. Soumya has a special affinity for source wisdom from ancient texts such as the Yoga Sutras, Sadhana Panchakam, Charaka Samhita, Tattvabodha, and the Bhagavad Gita, finding deep inspiration and transformative power in these sacred scriptures.

​

Sadhya soumya has earned the title of Ayurveda Health Educator from Vedika Global School of Ayurveda in the year 2013. Soumya has a special interest in Ayurveda nutrition and cooking, Ayurveda Ancestral Teachings on superfoods, herbs and spices, Ayurvedic prenatal and postpartum doula care, Vedic psychology, and Vedic healing group circles.

​

Soumya found that Vedic wisdom transformed her life, and specifically helped her through her pregnancies, birthing experience, postpartum sacred window, and in her children's early developmental years.  She obtained an Ayurvedic doula certification with the Center of Sacred Window Studies in 2019 to help nourish families with the sacred medicine of the Vedas.  She is a homeschooling mother of four children, and uses her Vedic tools in the small business Mother Ayurveda Healing (MAH). Soumya is passionate about “mothering the mother” --and their partners, and the entire family unit--as they transition into this sacred new phase of new parents. 

Soumya has offered different heartfelt sevas at Vedika Global, over the years including serving as the Satsangha and Seva coordinator. She has disseminated her teacher’s light by teaching  Ayurveda at Vedika's community sanghas, Vedanta at Acharya Shunya's  Awakening Mandala Circles and offering lineage based teachings  at workshops and community events organized by the  Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center in San Francisco and within various communities of the SF Bay Area.
 

Soumya believes that her Guru Acharya Shunya has gifted her the opportunity to study and embody the Vedas in authentic and heartfelt ways.  Being her student and a part of the Sarayu Sampradaya lineage since 2012 has provided Sadhya Soumya the roots to dive deep into the vastness of Vedic teachings.  She continues to be awakened by Vedic wisdom everyday and feels forever blessed to have found a Guru and Acharya whose mission is to awaken consciousness and health on a global level, as well as for each and every individual that finds their way to her teachings.   The light that Acharya Shunya ji shares with the world inspires Soumya to use the gift of this life to radiate her sovereignty and to connect with the most powerful gift, the oneness of us all.  She looks forward to continually growing from Acharya Shunya ji and her lineage teachings.
