Yasotha Krishna

Founder of Blue Lotus Academy

The Principal

The creation of Blue Lotus Academy is a reflection of my personal journey towards self-discovery. Throughout my experiences, I have come to understand that the process of healing and solving human problems requires a multi-dimensional approach. It involves penetrating observation into the core and root of a person’s issues rather than relying on general theories and over-the-counter techniques.

With a degree in Social Science and experience in leadership roles within corporate environments, I took a leap of faith and established Resting Hub – a space where I could work intimately with people to address various forms of human problems. Over my 22 years of studying meditation and teachings from great masters, I incorporated various contemplative practices into my work. I believe that my true service to my teachers lies in helping others find themselves when they find themselves at a crossroads in life.

The journey has been filled with both pain and joy, darkness and light, struggles and freedom, but it has brought me to where I am today – the founder of Blue Lotus Academy, a place for true learners. Through my experiences, I have learned that the solutions to human problems surpass a single-dimensional approach and require an understanding of the complex layers that make us who we are. I am dedicated to providing an environment where individuals can grow and develop into complete human beings.

Welcome to Blue Lotus Academy

A dedicated portal that offers a soothing space for self-growth and introspection. We understand that you have arrived at a point in your life where you are ready to explore the subjective and objective nature of yourself. Our objective is to help you embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-actualisation through a step-by-step process.

At Blue Lotus Academy, we believe in providing the wisdom and science of meditation and an in-depth study of the mind. We aim to help you discover the natural self within you through personalised formats that connect with the essence of who you are. What makes our academy unique is our intention to uphold the truth of knowledge in its purest form.

Our name, Blue Lotus Academy, is inspired by ancient traditions where the flower symbolised the evolution of man’s consciousness from instinctive impulses to spiritual liberation. The blue lotus represents wisdom and the highest form of intelligence, always pictured partially opened. The lotus signifies the most exalted state of man, pure and undefiled in the sun, with his feet rooted in the world of experience.

Just like the birth of the lotus, which transcends all limitations and reaches truth and perfection through pure intent and purpose, we are here to guide you towards your own truth and perfection. So come and join us in this journey of self-discovery and let us help you find your inner peace and tranquility

What the Academy offers

The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is.
Self-knowledge has no end - you don't come to an achievement, you don't come to a conclusion. It is an endless river.
- J. Krishnamurti -

The Academy is dedicated to helping individuals discover and develop their own unique path to self-actualisation, recognising that each person is a complex and evolving embodiment shaped by various factors. The Academy’s approach to inner work emphasises the preservation of each person’s individuality, avoiding labeling or limiting individuals based on definitions or past experiences. Throughout the process, students are supported in their independence and guided by the Academy’s principles.

The Academy offers a range of resources to support individuals and organisations in pursuing a holistic and systemic approach to self-exploration. Retreats, mentorship, coaching, personalised courses, and materials are all available to help students grow in spirit, awareness, and intelligence.

At the heart of the Academy’s philosophy is the belief that self-knowledge is an endless river, with no final destination or conclusion. As individuals learn more about themselves, they gain clarity and insight into their unique path towards self-actualisation.

 

Approach

If you’re ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, we invite you to join our programme. Our focus is to support you from the very beginning until the day you graduate, guiding you through each phase of inner work. We explore every aspect that influences who we are, including the mind, body, energy, brain, and every other component.

Principles of the Academy 

At our academy, we believe that inner work requires a deep commitment, discipline, a stable mind, and endurance that goes beyond the grip of ego and proving oneself. We prepare and sustain our students in the process for extended periods of time, serving as a lighthouse throughout their journey.

 

As quoted by the great teacher G.I Gurdjieff, “Awakening is possible only for those who seek it and want it, for those who are ready to struggle with themselves and work on themselves for a very long time and very persistently in order to attain it.”

    The sessions here have been helpful, eye-opening and at times profound. The guided meditations have assisted in shedding some light to issues that needed attention, while the 1 on 1 sessions have opened up perspectives for exploration and inquiry. Yasotha’s style is calm, clear, compassionate and pointed, aimed at working for you. I find you have to be ready for responsibility as well, as the work demands your attention and energy, and openness to receive insights that allow you to find your presence or directions that you need.

    I got to know Yasotha just browsing over my instagram page and the name Resting Hub ( before it was renamed Blue Lotus Academy ) then got me curious to find out about her services. Having known Yasotha for slightly more then a year now all I have to say is I am more grounded and there is someone I can talk to without worrying what if others know what’s happening in my space. I feel I am more balanced and able to be myself very quickly in the event I am off balance and she makes me always feel that I am stronger then my own belief in myself. I have been enjoying all my sessions with her as it allows me to know myself better and also looking forward to more retreats to dive in deep within myself with her guidance. I would strongly recommend Yasotha to anyone who needs a friend or struggling with stress /anxiety and depression, Yasotha is the best person I have known so far Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.

    One of the best things that happened to us is Yasotha. Every session only brought us closer to connections, love and peace. Most realistic therapist and her works speaks louder. Every session is very organic and intense too. Her works are unquestionable for dedication and commitment she puts in. Energy never lies. She was the bridge holding both of us when we were falling apart. We couldn't explain how beautifully everything turned up at the end. We are blessed to meet her. She always says "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear" indeed true. Truest human during therapy or off therapy, she will hold you together.

    The question of how to exist as an individual within the social requirements of coexisting has always been a pressing thought. The lows of life and the thought of loosing my self was core stirring and scary. Fortunately,I was directed towards Yasotha Krishna who eventually gave me back to me! And was a true saviour of the internal self. We are so focused of the external body, almost willing to pay thousand for gym training and so forth yet neglect the work that needs to be done internally with absolute diligence. It is easy to label it as depression, anxiety , mental break down, unlucky or burn out if no effort is put into changing it. Meditation, awareness and internal work is a lifestyle on its own for those who make thriving their mantra. Through her structured programme and interactive sessions it has given me so much insight and silence where I have found a fraction of my self and am still happy to say that I look forward to do more work to dig in deep. The sessions are tailored based on each and every individual's vocabulary of existence. The core is stagnant. How deep we dig in to find ourselves and how big we grow exponentially is in our hands. Its constant work in progress. I thank the Universe for sending the guide in the form of Yasotha.

    I have been seeing Yasotha for more than 6 months consistently and I myself was truly amazed with the results under her guidance. When I first met her I was in heartbroken and helpless mode, but her patience guidance has made my journey became clearer and peaceful. I am so blessed to have her in my self recovering journey. It was never easy at the beginning because I was lost but after 6 months down the road, I felt more confident and peaceful. Thanks to Yasotha for being so patient and kind. I highly recommending her and her programs.

    Yasotha’s meditation techniques are unlike any other I've experienced. Under her guidance, the inner work she's coaching me on has created a greater sense of self-awareness and mindfulness in me. She's uncovered parts of me that I didn't realize were driving my actions, and through her teachings, I have a renewed sense of clarity and focus in my life. In this process of self-exploration I'm learning how to distinguish the conscious from the unconscious, the internal from the external, and I'm becoming more and more authentically me. At the my lowest point in my life she was there to pick me up and help me piece my life back together, she never gave up on me even when I did myself. Yasotha’s greatest contribution is herself as a human - her grace, care and kindness is one of a kind, and I'm blessed to call her a mentor and friend.

    I started working with Yasotha since November last year after hearing about her through my mother. I currently live in Ontario, Canada where I am starting over my life and career after the pandemic. Not knowing what to expect, I hopped on a zoom call with her and was immediately drawn to her energy. Speaking to Yasotha made me feel like I was talking to my very own best friend. We spent the next couple of weeks getting to know each other and we had some pretty in depth conversations to help us both get to a point where she could gauge what would be the most helpful path to take to help me succeed in my goals going forward, ie, career, life in general and personal development. Yasotha is particularly skilled at asking insightful and thoughtful questions that get you to do a deep dive into your own mind and thought process – which for me has been an experience unlike no other. I don’t particularly meditate in the traditional sense but sessions with her make me feel extremely grounded and mindful of the life I am leading and the choices I am making on a daily basis. When we have our sessions there is no resistance and she has certainly been successful in creating a non-judgmental, safe and a very peaceful environment for me to be able to share my honest, innermost and deepest thoughts with her. She makes me feel seen and I have certainly felt a boost in my confidence recently, especially in the way I envision my goals and conduct myself in my life. I feel like I have also been equipped with the tools to be able to reflect on my life and innermost thoughts daily. The beautiful thing about it is – Yas doesn’t work with a template. She carefully examines her clients and tailors’ specific solutions to their circumstances. She is also wonderful with check ins on a regular basis so I rarely feel like I am alone in this journey. I cannot wait to see more of the progress I am going to make in the future working with Yas. Sessions with her are definitely something I look forward to on a weekly basis.
