Our Story

A Personal Journey of Discovery

Open Circle Yoga was born from a deeply personal journey. Years ago, Sundar, the founder of Open Circle Yoga, found himself in a place of complete disconnection. He felt lost—unsure of who he was or what he was doing. Stuck in a painful cycle of chasing desires that left him feeling empty, he would deeply regret his choices afterward. This left him burnt out, and his health and relationships suffered.

In the midst of this struggle, Sundar felt a strong pull to reconnect with himself. That’s when he turned to meditation. He began exploring different methods, from the stillness of Vipassana to the fluidity of dynamic meditation. Slowly, he started peeling back the layers of who he thought he was and discovering the person he truly was. Each step of the journey brought him closer to himself—and to the realization that he wanted to help others find this same sense of connection.

One decision led to another. Almost by chance, Sundar enrolled in a yoga teacher training course nestled in the Himalayas. The experience was transformative. It sparked a desire to leave behind his 10-year IT career and begin a new chapter. As he returned home, events unfolded in ways he couldn’t have planned, guiding him to the creation of Open Circle Yoga.

The Dream of Open Circle Yoga

At first, the idea was simple: Sundar wanted to teach yoga and meditation. But as he grew deeper into the practice, a bigger vision began to emerge. He imagined a space where people could come together to explore their own paths of self-discovery. He dreamed of creating a community—a circle that welcomed everyone, just as they were, to share their uniqueness and celebrate diversity.

That dream felt like it came alive when Sundar found a studio overlooking the ocean. It was cozy yet open, serene yet tucked in the city. The first time he walked through its doors, it felt as though the space had been waiting for him. It was far beyond what he thought was possible, but something deep inside told him he had to trust the process.

Instead of simply accepting an offer to teach yoga there, Sundar made the leap—he asked to rent the space himself. That moment of trust became the foundation of Open Circle Yoga.

Building a Community

From the beginning, Open Circle Yoga was never just about starting a business or building a career. It was about creating a space where people could connect—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Sundar wanted to offer tools to help others deepen their relationships with themselves and navigate life with more ease and awareness.

This vision brought together incredible teachers and partners who shared the same dream. Together, they began creating a space where like-minded individuals could gather, connect, and grow. Open Circle Yoga became more than a studio—it became a chosen family.

At Open Circle, community is about more than sharing space. It’s about creating a place where people feel safe, cared for, and respected. It’s where individuals can be authentic, honor their boundaries, and connect with others from a place of honesty and kindness. Here, people can rediscover their heart’s desires and live a life that feels truly fulfilling.

One example of this community impact is the variety of workshops, classes, and events that have brought people together to find connection and purpose. Whether it’s a calming meditation session, a transformative yoga retreat, or simply a heartfelt conversation with others, Open Circle Yoga has become a sanctuary for connection and growth.
