Yoga, Kalaripayattu, & Meditation in India & Europe
Awaken Your Spirit with Atma Prema
Welcome! We are Arianna and Visakh. Atma Prema was born out of a shared vision to help people heal, re-connect with themselves, and experience the profound beauty of life. Whether you are looking to join a retreat in the magical land of Kerala or host a workshop in Europe, we are here to share what we know and love with you and your students.
Our Story: How Atma Prema Was Born
Some connections are simply meant to be. We first met in Varkala through the ancient martial art of Kalaripayattu—Visakh was the teacher, and Arianna was the student. We quickly became great friends. As we shared our values and visions for life, we realized our paths were perfectly aligned.
Almost seamlessly, we began working together. It felt as though life had brought us together for one specific purpose: to share the transformative practices of Yoga, Kalari, and Meditation with the world.

Meet Your Guides
Arianna
From the moment I first traveled to India in 2018 to deepen my knowledge of yoga, I knew I had found my path. I studied with incredible teachers and began sharing those teachings as I traveled, spending time teaching and exploring in Sumatra, Bali, Greece, and Italy.
When I arrived in Kerala, I fell deeply in love with the spirituality and magic of "God’s Own Country," and it became my home.
-
What I do: I organize immersive yoga retreats in both Kerala and Europe.
-
My passion: Helping people heal and re-connect with themselves through yoga, pranayama, and meditation while exploring the breathtaking arts of India.
Visakh
My journey is deeply rooted in the traditions of Kerala. For the last six years, I have been learning Kalaripayattu and the profound healing process of Kalari Marma therapy under renowned Gurukkals (trainers). For the past three years, I have had the honor of teaching this ancient martial art, which cultivates balance, strength, focus, flexibility, agility, and mental sharpness.
-
My background: After completing my Master's Degree in Science and Technology, my curiosity for yogic science grew. This led me to the Isha Foundation, where I learned Hatha Yoga and advanced programs to truly explore the human system.
-
My mission: To establish and share the knowledge of my Gurus, bringing greater human consciousness and well-being to the world.
