About Sudha

My journey has taken me across the globe—from the fast-paced world of New York City to the spiritual depths of India. I transitioned from a technical career to a life of artistic exploration and service.

A Sunlit Path is a manifestation of my soul’s desire to unite diverse worlds—east and west, tradition and modernity, art and science—into a nurturing space for myself and others. With a deep commitment to holding a loving space for others, I offer:

  • Meditation, Yoga, Movement, and Theatre classes for both adults and children

  • Private Life Coaching sessions

After working as a network security engineer at Bell Labs, I felt a profound calling for a more fulfilling life. I left my successful career and immersed myself in the world of performing arts in New York City, studying at The Stella Adler Studio and working as a model, dancer, and actor. My transformative time in India deepened my understanding of dance, meditation, and holistic healing.

In 2008, I founded DiscoverSwasth, a non-profit dedicated to art and healing. Later, my journey took me back to India, where I expanded into theatre, art therapy, permaculture, and teaching yoga and movement in schools. Since 2018, I’ve shared my insights through Breathe with Sudha videos and holistic wellness coaching, offering guidance gained from my diverse experiences.

In 2022, A Sunlit Path was born, inspired by my love for Tamil spiritual traditions and my longing for a holistic life enriched by song, dance, prayer, and community.
