Meera. Imagine a warm, gentle presence, someone who holds space for you to truly be yourself.
That’s Meera, the heart and soul behind Diya Yoga and Diya Retreats.

Meera isn’t just a yoga teacher; she’s a guide, a facilitator of deep inner journeys. She specializes in transformative Yoga Nidra, a practice that allows you to access profound states of relaxation and self-discovery. Think of it as a guided meditation that takes you to the edge of sleep, where your subconscious mind opens up, revealing hidden insights.

Meera’s work extends beyond simple relaxation. She assists with her one-to-one sessions for individuals who are grappling with insomnia, anxiety, and other difficulties, guiding them toward inner peace and restored balance. Furthermore, she possesses a profound understanding of how psychological pressure and certain past belief systems contribute to physical diseases. Utilizing the TYN dialogue technique, she facilitates deep introspection, enabling individuals to uncover the root causes of their issues/disease and access internal guidance to support their healing process.

She’s deeply passionate about exploring the messages held within our dreams. She believes our dreams are a powerful language, offering clues to our inner selves and guiding us toward healing and growth. If you’ve ever woken up wondering what a dream meant, Meera can help you unravel its mysteries.

She also facilitates past-life regression sessions, a gentle process that can help you understand patterns and experiences that may be influencing your present life. And she helps people connect with their intuition, that quiet inner voice that often holds the most profound wisdom.

In a world filled with stress and anxiety, Meera offers an oasis of safe inner space with her individual sessions, trainings, and retreats.

Meera’s retreats are more than just getaways; they’re opportunities for deep transformation. She creates safe and nurturing environments where you can explore your inner landscape, connect with like-minded individuals, and emerge with a renewed sense of awareness and empowerment.

Whether you’re looking for an in-person retreat or the convenience of online sessions, Meera offers a variety of ways to connect. She believes in the power of awareness and empowerment, and she is committed to helping you unlock your full potential.

If you’re seeking a deeper connection with yourself, a way to navigate life’s challenges with more grace and ease, or simply a moment of peace in a busy world, Meera’s guidance might be just what you need. She is a compassionate and intuitive teacher who creates a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported.

Imagine giving yourself the gift of exploring your dreams, finding restful sleep, or rediscovering your inner strength. Meera can help you on that journey. If you feel called to explore any of these areas, reach out. You might be surprised at what you discover.

I attended Diya yoga retreat in County Mayo, Ireland and it was a wonderful day. We did yoga, sound healing, workshops on self image, some dancing and shaking. We also had breakfast and lunch, had a nature walk. Hannah and Mira were great leaders/guides for the day. It was a very peaceful, grounding experience. Highly recommend.

I did the yoga retreat in mayo Ireland with Meera and Hannah! Both Meera and Hannah were so warm and welcoming creating a lovely atmosphere for us. The yoga was relaxing and informative, I specifically enjoyed being able to let my body relax and feel both my feminine and masculine energy. This was something I never experienced before and I’ve left with greater awareness. Thank you, Meera and Hannah

I did a Transformative Yoga Nidra online course with Meera and it has truly been life changing. I had connected with this practice for a few years now, but through this course I realized that I hadn’t even scratched the surface of its possibilities. I am very grateful for her teachings and the depth of her knowledge! I certainly hope to keep learning from her and exploring this practice :)

I joined Meera's online Transformative Yoga Nidra training and absolutely loved it! Meera is such a wise and compassionate teacher. Even in the online setting, she created a safe, calm, and nurturing learning environment where I felt truly supported. Throughout the training, I learned so much—not just about the structure and science behind Yoga Nidra, but also about the deeper layers of the practice: the power of Sankalpa, the subtle art of voice modulation, and the importance of intention and energetic presence. Meera beautifully blended theory with embodied experience, guiding us through deeply restorative practices that often felt like a healing journey in themselves. I walked away feeling inspired, confident, and deeply connected to the practice. I now feel equipped to craft and share my own Yoga Nidra sessions. I’m so grateful for this experience and would fully recommend it to anyone drawn to the magic of Yoga Nidra.

I joined my second Transformative Yoga Nidra training with Meera, and it is a real pleasure to dive again into this wonderful teaching. It is one of my favorite tool to enter a deep and profound relaxation, and explore the messages contained in my conscious, subconscious and higher consciousness. I love how it affects my daily life in a positive way. And i love how Meera shares this deep technique with joy and lightness. Thank you again, and looking forward to the next course. 🙏❤️

I had my first ever Dream Dialogue session with Meera and it was extremely eye opening! A few weeks ago I had a recurring dream which was causing me a lot of distress and overwhelm. It felt like my mind was trying to tell me something but I wasn’t able to understand the message. I knew I needed help and the only person I could trust was Meera. Meera expertly guided me into a space of deep relaxation and navigated my subconscious with compassion and ease. Her loving presence and deep understanding of the subconscious mind created a safe space where I could let myself tap into my vulnerabilities. In just 1 session, my internal overwhelm was replaced by clarity and a deep knowing of what my inner child needed from me and how I could support her exactly how she wants. I felt a lot closer to myself and held loving understanding for what in happening within me. I would recommend Meera to anyone seeking a compassionate mental coach with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Thanks for always being there, Meera 🙏🏾✨

Transformative Yoga Nidra (TYN) Level 1 training transformed not only my service to others but also my own healing journey. I had the privilege of completing the course in person with Meera in Greece, an experience that was both professionally enriching and personally transformative. Spending five days immersed in facilitating and experiencing Yoga Nidra brought exactly what TYN sets out to achieve—mental clarity, deep rest, and an inner energetic reset. As a Holistic Physiotherapist in London who integrates Yoga for rehabilitation and stress recovery, my work bridges the gap between conventional rehabilitation and what Western culture labels as "the wellness industry"—but is, at its core, the ancient wisdom of somatic and energetic healing. We cannot effectively treat physical pain without acknowledging the systemic inequalities and social conditions that keep bodies inflamed and hinder healing from trauma. This is why TYN training is vital for all therapists and practitioners. We need to go beyond symptom management and engage with healing at a deeper level, recognizing the mind-body connection and the broader social factors affecting well-being. Meera embodies this understanding, creating a space where true rest and transformation can occur. I wholeheartedly recommend this training to anyone committed to helping others heal from pain and stress in a truly holistic way. @tas.holisticphysio

I just finished my 200h yoga teacher training and it has been one of the best experiences in my life! Even before the training had started, Meera was there for me and answered all my questions and took any hesitation to go on this journey. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home and knew that I had chosen the right school. All the teachers carry so much wisdom and teach in such a unique, fun and playful way that I enjoyed all the classes and lessons. I’m so grateful to have met so many beautiful people and got the opportunity to dive into the world of yoga. I learned way more about my body, my emotions and thoughts that I could have hoped for, needless to say everything about our bodies anatomy, energy centers, breath, meditation and how to teach a proper yoga class in different styles. The training was intense but prepared us in such a way that I feel confident and ready in my teaching capabilities, something which I was worrying about beforehand. Thank you Meera for being such a wonderful and inspiring woman, for teaching us your life lessons and for making us go inward to discover who we truly are. I hope that our ways will cross again in the future 🙏🏻

I had the opportunity to work on myself in the form of Meditation Teacher Training program (Kundalini Yoga) with Diya Yoga. It was such an amazing experience for me, it helped me a lot with my depression and anxiety issues at the time. During those days , i learnt so much about my emotional self and its well being. Meera Ji is a patient teacher and very well versed in Kundalini Yoga and Chakra Healing. If you have the chance to ever attend the yoga sessions with them, then just go for it and have a life changing experience.
