sacred technologies for transformation and joy

Hi. I'm a philosopher, technologist, yoga teacher trainer, Vedic cosmologist, and spiritual mentor working on a masters in cosmology and consciousness.

I consult on AI ethics, speak about AI and consciousness, and offer meditation training, Jyotish readings, Tantrik initiations, and teacher training modules in mantra and Himalayan kriya. I also have a podcast called Cosmic Intelligence.

I'm based in Los Angeles these days, but spent my formative years in New York, San Francisco, and India.

Spiritual Mentorship

We all feel a little lost sometimes. A spiritual mentor helps you to reflect your best self back to you, and to remember who you are in your best moments. You have everything you need inside. You just have to let it out.

Let me guide you through it — starting with a comprehensive Vedic astrology reading, then ongoing support including:

  • meditation support + personal mantra
  • private yoga sessions
  • personal access to Jayadev
  • discounts on other offerings
  • spiritual community

What People Are Saying

This Elemental Yoga practice has been extremely beneficial for me. I look forward to each new video that arrives. Jayadev is excellent at making his classes work for all levels and the way he explains each new set is extremely helpful. When so little is firm under our feet right now, Jayadev's classes have grounded me. Each class I walk away feeling an inner sense of peace and calmness. I feel like a completely different person after this practice. I am really blown away by how pranayama can awaken our bodies and open us up to so much in this life. Try a class out and you won't be disappointed.

I recently completed Jayadev's online Elemental Meditation course and was so impressed with the entire experience. The course was well-organized, accessible and supportive from beginning to end. His natural ability to articulate the ancient teachings of yoga in such an easygoing and accessible way was incredibly refreshing. Jayadev is a skillful meditation teacher, offering practical tips and tools that helped make this style of meditation easy to learn. I was able to go much deeper into my own practice because of the techniques I learned in this course. You can tell that Jayadev is truly passionate about what he teaches, and I look forward to enrolling in more of his courses in the future!
