Becoming the Hero of Your Own Journey Means Becoming a Spiritual Warrior
OUR DEFINITION OF A SPIRITUAL WARRIOR
Being a spiritual warrior means being willing and able to engage in the struggle for self-mastery, being able to use and channel every emotion constructively, facing your own darkness with your inner light and healing the split between your ego self and higher Self. It requires inner strength and courage to deal directly - and objectively - with whatever difficulty you may be more naturally inclined to ignore, deny or magnify.
Its 3 main components:
1. Feeling deeply without getting emotionally destabilized
2. Extracting the spiritual wisdom hidden within each life challenge
3. Transforming harmful patterns into empowering choices
The Program & Principles
COMBINING THE BEST OF EAST + WEST
“Through my own healing journey, I discovered how powerful it is to combine the latest breakthroughs in Western psychology with the timeless therapeutic tools of Eastern wisdom. I didn’t find wholeness outside myself—I found it by turning inward, healing my relationship with my own parents, and learning to reparent the parts of myself that had been neglected for so long.
This work has been my sacred preparation for parenthood one day. And in guiding others through it, I’ve seen just how deeply it resonates with parents and parents-to-be—especially those ready to break cycles, heal family wounds, and create a new legacy rooted in love, not survival.
Whether you’re preparing to welcome a child, navigating the demands of raising one, or seeking to finally resolve deep-seated family dynamics, this program offers a step-by-step roadmap to:
✨ Heal generational pain
✨ Cultivate emotional mastery and spiritual resilience
✨ Become the kind of parent (to yourself and others) you always wished you had
You don’t have to carry the weight of the past into the future. When you do this work, you don’t just heal for yourself—you heal for the generations to come.”
As Seen In
“I created this unique training program out of a powerful personal transformation journey I undertook to release pain from the past, heal old trauma and thereby prepare myself to lead with integrity.
As I let go of lots of limiting beliefs, found my voice after years of being silenced, started trusting my intuition and set and maintained boundaries in a loving way, my entire life changed before my eyes. This course takes you, step-by-step through my process of spiritual transformation, as featured in my award-winning book The Way of the Goddess.

Ananta is renowned for her trauma-informed, spiritually grounded approach that helps parents and parents-to-be reclaim their inner peace and power—so they can become the loving, present, and resilient parents they’ve always dreamed of being.

Through a blend of ancient Eastern wisdom, modern psychology, and her personal experience of overcoming trauma, she helps parents and parents-to-be rediscover their innate strength and wisdom to parent from a place of love, authenticity, and alignment.
Ananta’s work is especially impactful for those seeking to navigate the complexities of family dynamics, ancestral healing, and overcoming generational trauma.

What Past Graduates Are Saying
“My experience with Ananta as my spiritual teacher has been life changing.
Ananta’s approach to teaching is universal for all walks of life: any age and any level of background to Ayurveda, as well as those who may have a busier schedule. Ananta’s program allows for catered guidance and support. For example, I am a very busy person. I have a very large family that I care for, as well as having my own business and outside projects. I also joined the program with very little knowledge about Ayurveda, except for the fact that I had a yearning desire to make better choices that served my body, mind, and soul. I knew I needed something deeper than yoga and meditation. I was searching for a whole-body health and self-care solution that would bring me to my higher Self.
Ananta’s guidance not only transformed my life, but I now feel confident that my children are learning how to care for themselves in a way I never had growing up. This program has empowered me to model the self-love and healthy habits I want to pass down, making my legacy as a parent stronger than ever. A year later, here I am. I’ve found every joy in my day: from waking, to honoring the sun; taking pride in my meals, my breath, and my self-care practices. Without Ananta, I would have never found joy or peace.
I recommend studying with Ananta and her team of teachers, because everyone deserves to find their joy in life. Living with deeper intentions and compassion for oneself is the greatest gift that someone could give to themselves."
- BECKY ALBY, Mother of 5, Entrepreneur, Gardener, Therapist in Training
“What can I say about Ananta and the Spiritual Warrior Program? Is it possible to express enough gratitude for the help, wisdom, motivation, and understanding shared?
My pilgrimage in this 9-month program broke me open in ways I never expected; broke my heart open to receive in ways I've never been able to before. I uncovered unseen patterns around grief and anger, found a connection to both my voice and my grounded roots, and learned to lean into discomfort long enough for it to shift into awareness. Based on her book The Way of the Goddess, Ananta guided us on our journey with stories, reflection prompts, really hard questions (haha), and a powerful sense of community. Every bit held some pain, but every bit opened to peace and acceptance.
I came into this program a hot mess. Anxiety through the roof, depression, strained relationships, and… well, low self-confidence. I'm still a bit of a hot mess, but with a lot more self-awareness, inner strength, new coping skills, and a deepened sense of connection to the Divine within me. As a mother, this growth means everything—not only do I show up more whole for my children, but I also model how to move through life with honesty, courage, and compassion. The steps I took in the Spiritual Warrior Program took me down new winding roads that leave me both breathless and excited. It's a lifelong journey I am happy to be on.”
- TABETHA HEDRICK, Education Content Editor for BERNINA of America // Developmental Editor // Book Formatter, Mother of 2
“Ananta can be described as truly embodying her work. She naturally radiates a caring, wise, and loving aura. She clearly has a deep mastery of her subjects, and from the moment you begin taking her classes you will be receiving knowledge. The understanding and scholarly communication of Ananta is matched by her compassion and humility. You can tell Ananta sincerely cares about her students and their ability to process and effectively practice what she teaches.
As a father, this journey has grounded me like a tree—able to remain steady, present, and rooted in love even as one of my children goes through intense personal challenges. I’ve become more emotionally available and spiritually anchored, which has made a profound difference in our home. I would recommend studying with Ananta and her teachers because the topics being taught are life changing, from the inside out. There is a nearly tangible aura of love and acceptance shared amongst her and her fellow contemporaries as well as with the students in her classes. Despite the large and vast ocean of spiritual wellness knowledge that can appear daunting at first, the classes are structured very clearly, the communication about what is expected is exact, and the immersion into each topic is easily digestible to the human intellect.”
- NATHAN MEDLOCK, Hospital Professional, Yoga Instructor, Father of 2
"I was fortunate to have first met Ananta virtually just when the pandemic started in early 2020, which catalyzed the inception of a profound inner journey. Her recommendations laid a strong foundation for me to start a journey of embodying wellness at a physical, emotional and spiritual level. Over the next few months, I had several spiritual coaching sessions where she gave me some wonderful tools and practices to make improvement in those specific life areas. I diligently followed her suggestions and started seeing improvement in my overall physical, emotional and mental health.
As an example, I had some traumatic experiences dealing with some toxic people with negative intentions and harmful behavior. Any such interactions instilled a lot of fear which permeated through my mind, body and spirit, and manifested in the form of physical symptoms. With Ananta’s guidance and teachings, I was able to recognize those patterns and learnt to operate from a higher space instead of engaging at low frequencies, I learnt to forgive and send healing vibes and blessings instead of reacting, I learnt to anchor myself in service to the higher truth and on spiritually evolving myself instead of wasting my time on trivial interactions and I learnt that even toxic people can be our best teachers, as they teach us to overcome darkness and connect with the divine light within. Since studying with Ananta, that intensity of fear has significantly reduced and I am in awe at how it has led to significant reduction in my symptoms as well. I feel very grateful to Ananta for being my spiritual guide and teaching me to not only be true to myself but also to be a spiritual warrior.
What’s even more powerful is that this work has shaped how I approach my future as a parent. I feel empowered to create a peaceful, loving home where my children will know how to handle life’s challenges with grace and inner strength—just as I’ve learned to do. Ananta’s teachings are not just about healing; they’re about leaving a legacy of light, wisdom, and resilience for those we love."
- NACHI CHOPRA, Business Transformation Leader, Amazon, Father
"Ananta used the framework of her Spiritual Warrior Certificate Program in mentoring me. The incredible stories of the 9 Navratri Goddesses linked with the 9 chakras in our body inspired me to burn away the emotions that weren’t serving me such as unresolved anger, a need for approval from society and fears that stem from my deep attachments with my loved ones. I replaced my old thought patterns with fresh, new and empowering narratives that I reinforced to myself repeatedly in order to create a sustainable and lasting change in my mindset, and create a better life for my future children.
Ananta’s program goes beyond the surface. As a parent-to-be, it helped me heal at the deepest level, replace darkness with inner light and experience bliss and happiness from within. Ananta is a very inspiring instructor as she genuinely embraces and lives by all that she teaches. In doing so, she really stands out from all other instructors out there. She is also very focused on the learning of students and greatly supports them in their journey to apply the practices they learn. She is in it for the impact and this purpose matters deeply to her."
- TANVI JAIN PATYAL, Former Management Consultant and Program Officer, Parent-to-Be
“I loved that Ananta didn't water down the profound spiritual teachings of the Veda, like I see happening in some of the Ayurveda and Yoga communities in the West. And that very importantly, she stayed "true to text"—making sure to bring teachings back to the source from where they emerged. She is brilliant in her ability to retain a lot of detail and information and then present it clearly through slides and the sweetness of her voice and articulation of speech. Being an energetically sensitive person, the sound and vibration that bring forth the teachings/lessons of a person are very important to me and can make it possible or not possible for me to take a course from someone.
Ananta has a pure devotional heart and is a true spiritual aspirant, genuinely living what she teaches, which is another really important thing for me in choosing a teacher. Integrating these sacred teachings has made me a more grounded and conscious parent—able to hold a deeper space for my children’s growth while modeling devotion, inner balance, and lifelong learning. It was an honor to be a part of year one of this program and to learn alongside a truly beautiful and wise community of people from all over. I look forward to continuing my studies with Ananta, diving deeper and going back over my notes and the assigned reading so that I can continue connecting the dots within myself. As Ananta has compassionately reminded me and others—this is a lifelong study and practice, and for that I am deeply grateful because there really is so much wisdom to learn!”
