AJEET KHALSA
Ajeet brings soulful recognition to the healing arts. As a Meditation teacher, Reiki Master, and Yogini, she helps bring your retreat experience to a deeper and more joyful level. A spiritual ally, she’ll help you make change with an emphasis on physically, emotionally, and personally navigating issues of past trauma, family relationships, and loss.
She is a registered Yoga Alliance Teacher-Trainer in Kundalini yoga and Svaroopa® yoga. She is a certified Holy Fire® Reiki master and Mental Health process facilitator in the Acceptance & Integration (AAIT) method. Now in her 9th season at Sewall House, her mission is holding space for those visiting our retreat to embody a deeper balance within themselves, discovering the freedom, joy, and true happiness that daily quiet breathing practices bring to the Self.
Ajeet’s Life and Work
A continuous learner in Eastern and Indigenous traditions, Ajeet has spent more than 40 years studying therapeutic processes focused on holistic healing, and natural living, including Cob-Building, Forest bathing, Open Mindfulness, and Wise Woman Herbal Medicine. She’s received healing and education in the Alexander Technique, Authentic Movement, Compassionate Listening, and Sacred Music. She’s a certified Svaroopa® yoga teacher and a student of Tibetan Buddhism.
In her Yogic and Restorative practices, artistry marries practical healing techniques. Using skills gathered from her diverse, professional experience as a modern dancer and theatre artist for over 20 years, Ajeet creatively guides you through simple themes in yoga class that are easy to grasp and implement in your daily life when you return home.
In her own life, Ajeet also loves working with medicinal plants. She is an avid gardener, and a gatherer of roadside flowers to make into medicine. She’s also learned how to create a symbiotic relationship with the earth by studying the natural intricate architecture of clay-straw and mud-building with Sigi Koko.
To achieve a more natural and communal state with others, she has lived in various intentional, artistic communities where life is viewed as a symbiosis of sustainable, vibrant freedom and adventure. Her vision is building her cob hermitage.
Why Yoga? At age 16, Ajeet’s mother succumbed to complications of manic-depressive disorder. With little ground to stand on, she began a lifelong search for the truest expression of motherly love. She’s found it in the Divine, Creative Community. She knew her life was meant for deep exploration, as did her Mama Bett.
Over time, Ajeet has developed a kind and deep relationship with yoga, spirit, and nature, and a sense of intimacy with the forests (also known as re-wilding). In her healing practices, Ajeet now helps seekers and students find a joyful relationship with their natural and most intimate, capital S, Self!
Ajeet is also the author of Color Me Yoga, a full-size coloring book and yoga class for Teachers and Parents, with instructional rhyme, a coloring page, and a caption to clarify each yoga movement. The coloring pages bring a special sort of interactivity to the class; kids learn foundational exercises like Baby’s Pose, Cobbler’s Pose, Triangle, and Peaceful Breathing alongside funny bone–tickling new ones like Dancing Spider, Fruit Soup, and Washing Machine Pose.
Color Me Yoga is available for purchase at Amazon. Enjoy yoga with the little ones you care for—and who care so well for you!
Dynamic Healing Sessions offered by Ajeet
Ajeet lovingly offers the following services that can be booked as private sessions for deeper healing, personal attention, and more profound forgiveness and understanding.
Ajeet’s private healing sessions are extremely personalized to your needs.
Lying still, focused inward in a healing atmosphere can help you reach deeper places while on retreat. When working with your inner self, you’re empowered to not only see, but accept, and gently integrate the gnarly, polarizing bits of the self that get in the way of true spiritual mastery and growth—achieving lasting and deep resolve to continue practicing as you go forward in life.
Ajeet helps you resolve and dissolve seemingly insurmountable issues with loving grace and ease, notwithstanding a few tears! In either counseling or Reiki sessions, you tap into hidden areas with a keen eye toward accepting and integrating your emotions so you go on with your life in a robust, insightful way.
Thank you, Ajeet, for being a beautiful teacher and guide who has led me through Self-discovery and Acceptance through your gift of Spiritual Integration and Reiki Attunement along with your endless compassionate nature that is ever present in our discussions and healing sessions. –Connie B.

Acceptance, Integration & Forgiveness: Ajeet studied with Melanie McGee, LCSW to learn profoundly simple yet deeply healing processes that help unwind and dissipate years of suffering. Each session involves exploration and meditation interaction. Prime Energy Activation and Transcendence help you activate and transcend emotional charge within the body and mind. “ When an individual can simultaneously experience two opposing states, the problem built upon those states tends to vanish.”
Acceptance-based integrative healing restores inner balance, helps you transcend problems and returns us to a serene, peaceful state. Understanding the inner meaning of personalized trauma, life problems, or work-related stress helps us to accept, forgive, and then transcend our perceptions, problems, and pain into our Self-loving presence.
Holy Fire® Reiki: Trauma and pain are stored and manifest in the body. In these private hands-on bodywork sessions, Ajeet works with you on the floor, tending to the physical, and energetic body to find its blissful place and release stored tension. In the healing paradigm of light and expansiveness, Reiki is especially beneficial to those who experience unpleasant, daily sensations of mental or muscle fatigue, tightness, soreness, and recurring states of negative behavior. It’s great to say you’ll do something, it takes practice, clarity, and a change in your habits to revitalize your body with pure light energy. Reiki helps. It immediately brings you into a quiet and relaxed state, dissolving tension lovingly and finding time and space to start anew.
