*This program is a a prerequisite for upcoming programs on Hasta [vedic hand reading] and Vāstu Design.
We are continually influenced by the structures & forms of life - but we are unaware of it!
Those who learn to see the the divine manifesting in patterns can learn to harmonize with those patterns and dance with life. Vāstu is waiting for you with the key to a deeper understanding of life.
Words from Students
Divine Consciousness manifests as all forms through the expression of unseeable patterns. We are made of these patterns and are continually under the influence of patterns. Those who know how to see and participate with cosmic order through its natural patterns will discover the clarity and luck that seems to elude most!

Curriculum
Week 1: Cosmic Order
What is cosmic order? Can the dwellings we inhabit bring us either sukha {sweetness} or dukha {suffering}? We will explore the system of vāstu as a sacred subject. We’ll look at the influence of:
- The Vedic Tradition’s vision of divine order
- The true meaning of Vāstu
- Vāstu’s purpose & potential
- “Good Vāstu” and “Bad Vāstu”
- Vāstu and the aims of life
- The dwelling & the indweller
- Our natural vāstu insight
- Purpose & Form
- Real examples
- Curves & Lines
We explore the general concept of vāstu, how it fits in the vedic tradition overall, and how it relates to the teachings of dharma {natural order} and begin to develop your “vāstu eyes” with examples that resonate.
Week 2: Vāstu Essentials
Vāstu in Life: Examples of Vāstu in the real world. We’ll use lots of real-world examples to explore the influence of vastu in both two & three dimension.
- Storytime
- Shape, angle & directionality
- Elements & Shapes
- Spirals, spots & space
- Symmetry & Variety
- Real examples
- The home & your bed – where should bed point & how high or low should it be?
- Altar location
- Shapes of countries, cities & or land masses
- The Cardinal Directions
You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of the influence of pattern and form in every aspect of life.
Week 3: Making Āsana Meaningful
Āsana offers the body a variety of forms, and vāstu gives the key to understanding their purpose! Exp.ore the value of a supine, standing, seated, twisting, backbending āsana from the vāstu view! Make yoga practice more therapeutic, impactful, and attuned through understanding:
- The body as a dwelling
- Āyurveda meets Vāstu – the vāstu of vāta, pitta & kapha bodies!
- Categories of āsana and their purpose
- Āsana, Vāstu, the 5 elements and Āyurveda
- How different categories of āsana should be emphasized
- Arranging the yoga teaching space – where should the teacher sit?
Finally gain an authentic frame to inform your practice {or your teaching} and your understanding of the potential of āsana. Plus, answer the common question: “Where should the yoga teacher sit?”

Questions?
Send us your questions about the program
Do some dwellings bring luck? Do certain spatial arrangements influence people in similar ways? Does the arrangement and structure of your home, workspace, yoga space, bedroom and so on influence your psychology, health, prosperity, outlook, and success or failure? Does a place of worship have a different requirement for shape and angles than a place of rest? Are the āsanas of yoga offering a bodily architecture that can attune us to nature or put us in discord based on how we apply them? Vāstu answers these questions and much more.
