After completing her schooling, Lalita-ji immersed herself in the yoga discipline, training at many institutions, including Parmath Niketan in nearby Rishikesh. Drawing on her knowledge of Hatha and Astanga Yoga, and as the result of many years practice, Lalita-ji is able to perform many complex yoga postures with ease. Lalita-ji is also able to play many musical instruments and leads bhajan and kirtan sessions every evening in the ashram. |
Sadhvi Lalita Ambay moved to Phool Chatti Ashram in 1988 in response to an intense desire to 
lead a spiritual life. Leaving behind all family ties, she decided to focus instead on leading a more simple life devoted to God.
