Circle & Path is a monthly reflective retreat — a shared space for discovery, reconnection, and a return to joy.
This month we turn to Smile, which is all about the ease of living well. Hari Nair will expand on the integral nature of personal care, intimacy, and fitness. Two Leela Life specialists will lead us through profound explorations of laughter and tantra.
To smile is to live with inner lightness, care, and connection. In Indic traditions, the state of joy is reached not only through the mind but also through the body, relationships, service, and devotion. This focus area gathers the practices that sustain a cheerful, radiant presence.
Hari Nair is the creator of the Leela Life Method — a structured, practice-based approach linking ancient Indic knowledge and modern life to enable both success and joy. He leads the Knowledge Session on Smile (Part 1): Personal Care, Fitness, and Intimacy, weaving conceptual clarity with experiential depth.
Archana Rao is India’s foremost female Laughter Yoga specialist and a pioneer in joy-based healing. Trained under Dr. Madan Kataria, she refined the practice into a therapeutic discipline combining Prāṇāyāma, body rhythm, and expressive movement. Her sessions invite participants to laugh, play, and meditate — reviving a playful curiosity that reconnects mind and body.
Laura Carrotti is a Tantra teacher and Somatic Experiencing practitioner with two decades of teaching across India, Thailand, and South America. Her work blends Tantric philosophy, yogic embodiment, and trauma-informed awareness into accessible modern practice, helping people re-discover safety and authentic connection in relationships.
Beth Giersch is an executive operator and strategist with over 20 years of experience in fitness, wellness, and personal growth. She has led transformative initiatives at Equinox and WeightWatchers and now guides Circle & Path as host, creating an environment of warm connection and collective reflection.
