Meet Kranti Londhe | Yoga consultant

We had the good fortune of connecting with Kranti Londhe and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kranti, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
“I’ve always been creative—yoga is an art form in its own way. Teaching is creative, too. It’s about connection, improvisation, and making something beautiful in the moment with your students. I couldn’t see myself in a purely routine or corporate job.” Kranti means Revolution The Outside Revolution is Possible If the inner Revolution Is Complete . Started my Journey Of Inner Revolution way Back In 2000 As a student and Teacher Of Yoga This Is My Life work to bring Inner Revolution, Everybody I, Touch upon , let the Revolution, Begin ! Be Happy.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Yoga is an art. Art of inner wellbeing. In that sense I am an artist and an artist is always in love with his art, no matter what. Whatever hardships may come in the path I always loved to distribute whatever Yoga knowledge I have to others. Sometimes even not caring about the monetary gains, I have preferred teaching. This sets me apart from others and I see this as one of my good qualities.

The path to any destination is always exciting, it may not be easy. So was mine, full of ups and downs. But it helped to shape me up professionally and spiritually as well. It is a journey of more than 25 years and it still continues. Today people like my brand of teaching, because I try to understand them, I try to be one of them. I have travelled a lot. From Asian countries to Europe, African Countries to America and South America. I have given the time to understand people, their culture. It has certainly helped me in my teaching. This process has made me blend with people easily. I can pick up a thing or two from them and easily mix with the teaching. These are the lessons I have learned in my journey till date. There were challenges also. But in hindsight, I don’t think of them as challenges, those were the events which taught me a lot of things. For e.g “sometimes people come only for physical benefits and are hesitant to explore the stillness and silence that yoga truly invites.”

I would like the world to know about me as a Yoga teacher, who is able to impart the knowledge of Yoga, playfully and friendly. Yoga is an art and art cannot be boring, whether you are a student or teacher.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Here I am sharing two itinerary one in Los Angeles 2nd one in India

My 7-Day Los Angeles Itinerary

Starting every morning with yoga at FlowGarden Yoga

Hello everyone! I wanted to share some of my favorite ways to spend time in Los Angeles—especially if you’re visiting, new to town, or just looking to design your own personal retreat.

This is a seven-day plan that starts each morning with practice at FlowGarden Yoga and mixes in some of my beloved vegan spots, hikes, and contemplative places—including the beautiful Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine in Malibu.

🌞

Day 1 – Arrival & Centering

I’d start the morning with a grounding Hatha practice at FlowGarden Yoga.

Afterward, brunch somewhere plant-based and nourishing—APL Vegan in Sherman Oaks is one of my go-tos.

In the afternoon, I love a gentle hike at Fryman Canyon. It’s an easy way to connect with nature without leaving town.

Evenings are perfect for watching the sunset from Griffith Park, near the Observatory.

🏖️ Day 2 – Coastal Hike & Beach Day

We’d begin with sun salutations at FlowGarden.

I’d grab a light breakfast—smoothie or toast at Café Gratitude in Studio City.

One of my favorite hikes is Los Liones Trail to the ocean—lush, green, and rewarding with stunning views.

Lunch? Malibu Farm Café on the pier has delicious vegan options.

Afterward, maybe journaling or resting by the ocean. I love closing the day with a moonlit meditation at Zuma Beach.

Day 3 – Art & Vegan Eats

Starting again with deep Hatha practice at FlowGarden.

A stop at a local bakery for a vegan pastry always feels special.

Then, I’d visit The Broad downtown or the Getty Villa near Malibu. Both are inspiring.

Lunch can be casual—Veggie Grill is always reliable.

If I’m downtown, I’ll often visit The Last Bookstore to browse and reflect.

Dinner? Shojin in Little Tokyo has amazing vegan Japanese cuisine.

🏞️
Day 4 – A Big Nature Day

I love beginning with a sunrise Hatha class at FlowGarden.

A simple fruit-and-nut breakfast feels right before a longer hike.

Topanga State Park is one of my favorite places to get lost in nature.

For lunch, I adore Inn of the Seventh Ray in Topanga—they have beautiful vegan options.

Evenings are quiet, often with restorative self-practice or reading.

🛍️

Day 5 – Culture, Markets, and Color

Another morning practice at FlowGarden with an alignment-focused session.

I’d have breakfast at a vegan café, then head to the Getty Center or LACMA to feed my creative side.

In the afternoon, I love wandering Abbot Kinney in Venice or checking out a local farmers market.

Dinner? I might grab vegan tacos at Plant Power in Hollywood.

Sunset on Venice Beach is the perfect close to the day.

🌺

Day 6 – The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Visit

This is a special day for me. I start with gentle FlowGarden yoga, preparing for quiet contemplation.

A light breakfast at home or nearby café, then head to the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades.

It’s one of my absolute favorite places in LA—lush gardens, koi ponds, meditation spots, and the peaceful lake.

I usually bring a small vegan picnic to enjoy mindfully.

Evenings are reflective—journaling, meditation, maybe gentle stretching.

🌅

Day 7 – Integration and Community

I always recommend closing a week like this with a community class at FlowGarden. There’s something so nourishing about practicing together.

Afterward, a vegan potluck or brunch with friends is lovely.

I also like sharing circles, a mindful walk in nature, or even sitting quietly under a favorite tree.

Afternoons can include time in the infrared sauna or Jacuzzi at FlowGarden for deep relaxation.

Finally, I end with sunset meditation and gratitude practice to seal the week.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My journey of inner revolution and yoga wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my family. When was 15 years old, my cousin introduced me to a one-week Yoga for Youth camp. It was during that time I decided I would become a yoga teacher. I bow down with deep gratitude to my early teachers in India, whose wisdom, discipline, and silent strength laid the foundation for my path and continue to guide me to this day.

I dedicate my shoutout to all the seekers and students I’ve met across the world-from the mountains, beaches, and even the deserts of California.

Each one has been a mirror, a teacher, and a reminder that we are all evolving together.

A special thanks to my Sangha, to the community of fellow yogis, friends and collaborators who continue to support and uplift me.

Also to the sacred texts like the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras, which remain endless sources of inspiration and truth. A very recent development worth mentioning is from last one month a friend, Curt Darling, is guiding me in Buddhism.

If I have to take names – It will be definitely be my parents, who after initial caution has always supported me. I would like to give a shoutout to my sister-in-law Shilpa Londhe who has been like a friend for me and my brother Abhijeet Londhe .

My Gurus from different paths of life. One prominent name is Uttamji. He has been my guiding force since last 10 years.

And above all, gratitude to the Divine— the inner Guru within us all, always present and always guiding.

The revolution continues.
