Anjuli Mahendra

Anjuli is the founder of Embodied Resonance, offering transformational retreats, integrated bodywork, and coaching that focus on opening the body to its highest potential. Her initiation into somatics started in 1999 with a dedicated yoga practice, and since then she has trained in Iyengar, Hatha, and Shadow Yoga, as well as Contact Improvisation and Acro-Yoga. She has studied both movement and healing arts intensively in India, Thailand, Hawaii, and Bali, giving her a well-rounded, non-dogmatic approach to her teaching. In conjunction with teaching since 2003, she is a board-certified massage therapist (1000+ hours) with a private practice integrating connective tissue, Thai, and Chi Nei Tsang bodywork. One of Anjuli’s teaching specialties is Contact Yoga — her signature blend of partner stretching, contact improvisation, and Thai massage — that gives students an opportunity to explore a wide breadth of movement, including restorative weight-sharing, dynamic partner lifts, and healing touch. This practice bridges multiple disciplines and encourages curiosity, connection, and trust among her students. Anjuli is known for her creative teaching and deep, healing touch, which help her students explore new pathways of movement and connection with ease and joy. She teaches Hatha and Contact Yoga, Thai Massage, and Rejuvenate workshops and retreats in the U.S. and abroad.
