Today we’d like to introduce you to Cosmin Mahadev Singh.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started teaching Kundalini Yoga and meditation over 15 years ago. At the beginning of this journey, the calling was so powerful that I actually signed up for a yoga teacher training before I even took a yoga class. From there, it felt like I was remembering things rather than learning new things, as if I had done this before, perhaps in a previous life. The rest is just God’s grace and my dedication to staying on the path.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I don’t know if I would call it smooth, but when you love what you do, it becomes easier and more fulfilling. I remember starting with just a couple of students in my classes and gradually growing to teach thousands at large events. There have been challenges, of course, but once you commit to the path and walk the walk, everything starts to flow. You just have to trust the process and trust yourself. Each step, whether small or large, has its own significance and contributes to the overall journey.
As you know, we’re big fans of RYK Yoga and Meditation Center. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I founded RYK Yoga and Meditation Center 10 years ago out of necessity—the classes were getting bigger, and there was no space for everyone to attend. From there, it just took off, and it became one of the best yoga studios in Las Vegas.
We specialize in Kundalini Yoga and Meditation and are known for the spiritual approach to our classes. We don’t just help the body stay healthy and the mind stay sane; we promote spiritual awakening and foster its growth. At our yoga studio (and online), we also offer a variety of private sessions for those seeking spiritual guidance, Reiki healing, or to learn more about Kundalini yoga and meditation.
I’m very happy to have the chance to offer traditional, authentic, and ancient teachings that have been used in yoga for thousands of years. These are very powerful practices! When people talk about RYK, it’s synonymous with a spiritual home and a prime spot to learn and practice Kundalini.
We also offer Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training and have just finished our 9th consecutive year of training. Additionally, we provide Reiki healing training and are getting ready to offer Yoga Nidra training—a must-have for yoga and meditation teachers. We host international yoga and meditation retreats to Bali and India every year.
Two years ago, we opened our RYK Retreat Center near Asheville, NC where we offer weeklong and weekend meditation retreats. It’s an amazing place in the middle of nature, with peace and powerful energy—a must-do for taking your meditation practice to the next level, detoxing, and rejuvenating.
We are proud to be recognized as one of the top 10 meditation centers in the world. This acknowledgment underscores our commitment to providing a sanctuary for spiritual growth and holistic well-being.
So, before we go, how can our readers or others connect or collaborate with you? How can they support you?
When one sees how important it is to bring more light and love into the world, one can see the potential of what we offer. The world needs good human beings, and when it comes to business, we need to practice conscious business. We are always open to collaborations, new ideas, platforms, and ways to share the teachings with even more people.
The RYK Retreat Center is still at the beginning stages. Having over 50 acres of land, forest, springs, and wildlife, and being off the grid, offers so much potential for further building the meditation retreat center. We welcome partnerships and support to help develop this beautiful space into a fully realized sanctuary for meditation and spiritual growth.
If you’re interested in collaborating with us, bringing new ideas to life, or supporting our mission, we would love to hear from you. Whether it’s through participating in our classes and retreats, sharing our offerings with your network, or contributing to the growth of our retreat center, your involvement can make a significant impact. Together, we can create a more conscious and compassionate world!
