Damaru began with a question.
How do you build a place that takes the ancient seriously and the modern seriously, without compromising either?
For most of recent history, the Indian wisdom traditions have been pulled into two camps. One treats them as belief systems to be either followed completely or abandoned entirely. The other treats them as decorative practices, softened and performed for an audience. Both miss what these traditions actually are. They are systems of inquiry into what a human being is. Built over thousands of years. Tested, refined, and passed down with extraordinary care.
Damaru was built to honour a third path. To study these traditions with the seriousness they deserve. To teach them alongside contemporary research, not in competition with it. To create a space where ancient inquiry and modern science could sit at the same table, and neither would be asked to leave.
What began as one teacher’s practice has grown into an institute with five expressions. A school, a pregnancy and development practice, a community of daily practice, a centre for sound, and a home for philosophy and research.
The form has grown. The question has not changed.
MAULI BAVISKAR
Yoga Acharya
Director, Damaru Wellness
Mauli has been practising yoga and the inner sciences for 27 years. She has been teaching for 15.
She came to this work the way most serious practitioners do. Through her own questions. Through years of study with teachers who held the tradition closely. Through the slow recognition that what she was learning was both ancient and entirely relevant to the world she lived in.
She trained in [lineage and specific qualifications to be added]. She holds C-IAYT certification, the highest international credential in yoga therapy. She serves as Vice Chairperson of the Indian Yoga Association, Gujarat Chapter. Her work now reaches practitioners, expectant mothers, leaders, and students across India and abroad.
But the most honest thing to say about Mauli is that she is still a student. She reads. She questions. She practises every morning, the same way she asks her own students to.
Most institutes claim to bridge science and tradition. We do not bridge. We integrate. The two are not separate things being connected. They are two languages describing the same human experience.
We do not invent new practices. We teach what has been transmitted, refined, and proven over thousands of years. Where contemporary research clarifies something, we name it. Where it does not, we trust the tradition.
Damaru is built for serious students. We do not water down our programs to reach a wider audience. We do not perform spirituality. The work is real, and the work asks something of you. We trust our students to meet it.
Every institute claims to bridge tradition and science. Few name the specific sciences they teach. These are ours.
How thoughts, emotions, hormones, and the immune system communicate as one connected system. At Damaru, this is the foundation for understanding how practice affects the whole body.
The science of how the nervous system reads safety, threat, and connection. We teach it as the map beneath breath, sound, and regulation.
How the brain and nervous system form across the first thousand days and beyond. The scientific spine of our pregnancy and development work.
How environment, lifestyle, and daily practice shape gene expression. The bridge between Garbha Samskara and modern developmental science.
How sound, vibration, and resonance regulate the nervous system directly. The research beneath our work with nada and mantra.

The form has grown. The question has not changed.
What began as a vision of building a space for wellness and transformation has grown into a vibrant community of people seeking deeper meaning and holistic health. Our studio was founded with the belief that true well-being comes from aligning mind, body, and spirit. Over the years, we’ve welcomed countless individuals on their personal paths to growth, healing, and clarity. Whether you join us for a single class, a weekend retreat, or an extended stay, our mission remains the same: to help you find peace, strength, and balance in every aspect of life.
Damaru’s campus in Ahmedabad has been designed with care, in service of the practice.
Each room has an intent. The sound space holds the silence and the bowls. The yoga hall is built for both movement and stillness. The meditation room is held in soft light. The library houses the texts. The kitchen prepares the food that supports the practice.
