ABOUT TEACHER
Rosina Pike
Spiritual Name: Ritambhara
Founder & Yoga Instructor at DAILY YOGA RITUAL
Welcome
I’m Rosina, also known by my spiritual name, Ritambhara.
My Inspiration
Yoga has supported my life for more than thirty five years—first as a place of refuge and later as a guiding path that continues to enrich my everyday experience. When I first stepped onto the mat, I was simply seeking a quiet space away from the noise of daily life and hoping to improve my wellbeing. Over time, yoga offered something deeper: space to breathe, clarity during moments of overwhelm, and a steadier way of meeting life’s challenges.
What began as a search for calm grew into a lifelong journey of exploration, learning, and inner transformation. Even after becoming a teacher in 2011, I remain a devoted student—always returning to the wisdom of yoga and discovering new layers of insight.
Yoga reminds me that peace begins within. The Yoga Sutras teach that when the mind becomes still, we reconnect with our true nature—a state of clarity, peace, and bliss. For me, yoga feels like coming home to that quiet centre where body, mind, and heart find ease.
My practice continues to evolve, supported by the ethical foundations of yoga, steady breath, meditation, and self‑inquiry. Each stage opens new doors—from grounding in the body to expanding awareness and cultivating stillness. Every experience feels like a gift, offering grace and upliftment.
Yoga is a lifelong journey—an ongoing process of reconnecting with one’s deepest nature and the peace that has always been there.
My Journey
• 1990s: Began yoga at Dance of Life Centre in Fitzroy, later practising Iyengar Yoga in St Kilda, Victoria.
• 2008: Discovered Satyananda Yoga at Rocklyn Yoga Ashram, embracing an integrated approach to body, mind, and lifestyle.
• 2011: Completed a 1,500+ hour Diploma in Satyananda Yoga Training, awarded by the Satyananda Yoga Academy Australia (accredited within the Australian Qualifications Framework).
Training Overview
My training included a comprehensive two‑year program grounded in a traditional and holistic approach to yoga. The course covered the foundational practices of asana, pranayama, yoga nidra, meditation, and yogic philosophy.
The curriculum included:
• Asana: Physical postures that build strength, balance, and body awareness
• Pranayama: Breath practices that cultivate vitality and emotional steadiness
• Yoga Nidra: Deep relaxation and inner awareness
• Meditation: Techniques that support clarity, focus, and inner stillness
• Philosophy: Teachings that encourage insight, purpose, and balanced living
Together, these practices form an integrated system nurturing the wellbeing of body, mind, and spirit.
Teaching Approach
My classes integrate:
• Asana for strength, flexibility, and balance
• Pranayama for calm and vitality
• Yoga Nidra for deep rest
• Meditation for clarity and inner peace
My intention is to create a supportive space for self‑awareness, reflection, and transformation—inviting each person to move gently, breathe fully, and reconnect with their own inner wisdom.
My Passion and Purpose
Yoga has the power to transform individuals and, through them, the world around us. Inner harmony naturally radiates outward, fostering compassion, steadiness, and peace within our communities.
An Invitation
I invite you to embrace your own transformation—to take a step
toward a more radiant, peaceful,
and inspired life.
"As a dedicated yoga teacher, my mission is to share the ancient wisdom of yoga with others and help them experience its transformative power. I believe that through yoga, we can co-create a more compassionate and peaceful world". Rosina (Ritambhara)
