Satroopa, (Sachne J. Kilner), is an internationally certified yoga and meditation Instructor and Teacher Trainer who was raised in the North Indian Himalayas with yoga as a lifestyle and focus of study. This education encompassed the eight limbs of yoga, or parts of yogic lifestyle/study including scripture translation from Sanskrit, Asana (physical postures), Pranayam (science of breath), Meditation, Ayurvedic medicinal approach and Ayurvedic Psychology, as well as mantra/chant and classical northern music on sitar. She has an M.A. in Yogic Sciences from Vishwa Unnyayan Samsaad, West Bengal India, ‘87. She has participated in and helped design a number of research projects, particularly on the efficacy of meditation, and is a published writer. Also a published musician, having produced her first chanting album at age 11, she has a total of five to date. 

Moving to Canada in her early twenties, Satroopa began distilling what of that which her upbringing had trained her in pertained to a different culture; what was the skill set that was germane even after cultural translation? In the methodological style of a yogic scientist she collected data, adapted techniques, and developed new language and translation skills for the abstract and subtle aspects of being human. What became clear is that awareness is key. This led to the development of her Curriculum of Awareness, which includes many of the yogic techniques in their classic forms, and many more that have been adapted for today's specific requirements. 

Currently Satroopa is developing her new website (DiveDeeply.com) while furthering her studies and deepening her personal practice in the Himalayas of India, as well as teaching, working as a Spiritual/Life Coach, researching and writing. From time to time she is available in Europe and North America for workshops and trainings. She is also available for online or phone sessions, and email support. Satroopa’s 40 years of personal practice and over 25 years of teaching experience enables her to provide customized trainings for whomever she sits with, hearing the subtlety of your circumstances, concerns and objectives.
