ABOUT US OUR CORE Keeping it real. Stepping into processes to align and strengthen yourself internally unfolds your own unique, uncertain and often times surprising journey. Going through a deep internal overhaul can be challenging, but that’s how growth happens. At Irama, we acknowledge the trials and turbulence along with the triumphs. As a multicultural and multiracial society – we want to form conversations about navigating our local culture, identity and lifestyles while being on a yogic path – in a candid and relevant way. Conversations and guidance that’s approachable for the modern seekers, in an open-minded and inclusive community – so we can infuse yogic wisdom into our lives seamlessly. Welcome to Irama. Behind the name Break free to flow like Irama (rhythm). Find your Irama to find yourself – A rhythm is born out of a specific arrangement of sounds. Just like that, we use yogic tools to create a specific arrangement of our human faculties. So we can go from just noise to a beautiful rhythm, always flowing without boundaries, never stagnant, never stuck – no matter what happens or didn’t happen to us in this life. We wanted a name that would make seekers in Malaysia feel at home, so we renamed ourselves in our national language (Malay) and it feels just right! (Or we might have just been a huge fan of P.Ramlee. We love us some Irama dan Lagu 🙂 ) Behind the symbol Everything that we stand for. Pushpaja Ang, Founder & Teacher A performing artist at Istana Budaya, she left the entertainment scene to find the true meaning of living a fulfilling life. Growing up as Catholic, she had no concept of meditation. Yoga was one of the gym activities to join as your wish. Until that fateful day when she was introduced to Sadhguru via Youtube. She was instantly captivated by his sharp logic and clarity. In a short period of time, Sadhguru’s video answers most of her childhood questions that she buried out of shame and judgement.
