Beyond the Mat

Projects Curiosity as a parallel practice

The practice does not begin or end on the mat. Four threads of exploration that inform, challenge, and deepen TatTwamAsi from unexpected directions.

Travel

Beyond Borders

Every pilgrimage redraws the inner map. Six countries, fourteen yoga retreats, and the slow understanding that all paths eventually converge.

  • Rishikesh Silent Retreat 2025
  • Bali Immersion with Guruji
  • Morocco Desert Practice

Craft

Made by Hand

Weaving and candle-making as moving meditation. Repetitive motion that quiets the analytical mind and lets pattern-recognition take over.

  • Indigo resist-dyed wall piece
  • Beeswax ritual candles series
  • Mandana art on handmade paper

Gaming

Interactive Worlds

Studying the attention mechanics of game design to understand how they mirror and diverge from sustained meditative focus.

  • Flow states in open-world exploration
  • Reading: "Reality is Broken" notes
  • Indie game journal: "Spiritfarer"

3D Printing

Object & Form

Translating Mandana geometry into three-dimensional form. Props and ritual objects printed for the studio, guided by traditional motif libraries.

  • Meditation bell stand (mango wood fill)
  • Mandana lattice wall tiles
  • Pranayama ratio timer prototype

Why Projects?

Diverse forms of attention teach each other. The problem-solver's patience helps the meditator. The traveller's openness helps the teacher. Nothing is separate.
