Circle of Life Community Member Library

Your sacred sanctuary for yoga teachers, therapists, coaches & healers of all modalities — refill your cup, deepen your practice, and serve from overflow

Meet Your Guide

Ananta Ripa Ajmera is a 10-time award-winning author of The Ayurveda Way and The Way of the Goddess (endorsed by Dr. Deepak Chopra).

After experiencing betrayal by spiritual teachers who failed to embody what they taught, Ananta became devoted to creating the community she once wished existed for herself — a sanctuary where healers, teachers, and givers could refill their cups while deepening their own practice.

With 14+ years of oral lineage-based training in Ayurveda, Yoga, and Vedanta, plus her own family lineage from India, Ananta has taught at Stanford School of Medicine, NYU, and UNICEF, and reached millions worldwide. Her programs hold a 99% recommendation rate, with 95% of participants reporting enhanced well-being, work performance and relationships.

As co-founder and CEO of The Ancient Way and a proud member of the Association of Spiritual Integrity, Ananta is committed to ethical, authentic spiritual education — walking the path she teaches and creating space for others to do the same.

A Personal Letter From Ananta

Dear Friend,

You became a healer to serve others and make a meaningful difference. But who fills your cup?

Perhaps you've been pouring from an empty vessel — feeling isolated in your work, yearning for a space where someone else tends to your healing for once. The Circle of Life was born from that exact longing. It is the soul-nourishing community I once wished existed for myself.

Inspired by the ancient goddess festival of Navratri — where seekers circle around the radiant lamp of awakening — this is your gathering place to reignite your inner flame. A sanctuary where we grow together, moving in circles of connection, rooted in integrity, and held in authentic support by peers who truly understand the path you walk.

Come journey with us. Give from a full cup.

With love,

— Ananta Ripa Ajmera

What Members Are Saying

“Ananta truly embodies her work—she naturally radiates a caring, wise, and loving aura. Her deep mastery of what she teaches is teachings is matched by her compassion and humility. You can tell she sincerely cares about her community. There is a nearly tangible aura of love and acceptance shared amongst her and the members. Despite the vast ocean of knowledge that can appear daunting at first, the sessions are structured very clearly, and the immersion into each topic is easily digestible and relevant to daily life.”

Nathan Medlock, Yoga Instructor, Ayurveda Wellness Ambassador, Hospital Professional, Amherst, MA

“The way Ananta structured the program allowed the students to become 'community buddies' and support each other while we're learning—we became each others' cheerleaders. Once I was able to make the connection to my Higher Self, I learned to respect my body in a way I have never done before. My digestion has improved, I have mental clarity and most importantly I have peace of mind.”

Suganthi Lem, Senior Construction & Public Transportation Manager, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

“Ananta has a pure devotional heart and is a true spiritual aspirant, genuinely living what she teaches, which is really important for me in choosing a teacher. It is an honor to learn alongside a truly beautiful and wise community of people from all over.”

Corinne Andrews, Owner/Director of Shraddha Yoga and Birthing Mama, Amherst, Massachusetts, USA

““Not only did Ananta's empowering approach to teaching strengthen me personally, but being part of her program also connected me with a beautiful family of light she created, which has become my soul tribe. Most of us are not connected by blood but we are by our souls, by our positive vibrations and our desire to seek light and the highest truth within ourselves. I feel the most content I have ever felt.””

Nachi Chopra, Business Transformation Leader and Emotional Intelligence Enthusiast, New Jersey, USA

You Are Not Meant to Heal Alone

Those who give the most to others often struggle most with:

Pouring from an empty cup — your own healing and growth constantly taking a backseat
Professional isolation — craving like-minded peers who truly understand your path
An implementation gap — knowing what to do for yourself but never finding time to actually do it
Marketing resistance — traditional self-promotion feeling completely misaligned with your spiritual values

The Circle of Life was designed to address every one of these struggles — not as another commitment, but as a low-investment, high-return sanctuary that nourishes you the more you engage.

Two Circles, One Transformational Journey

Our community is structured around two intentional circles, each reflecting a stage of transformation:
