About Me

MAHESH ARRVINDA JEMLISCH SALWATURA - REBORN AS "SALA"

My journey has been one of deep integration, learning to love and become who I truly am. I celebrate a world of freedom and love by boldly stepping into this reality, recognizing that everything reflected back to me—whether love or hate—is medicine. There is no duality, only the one truth of existence. In this light, I see my work of creating space for healing as my service to this beautiful human experience and my gratitude to mother earth & father sky.

As a man, a father, and a representative of the LGBTIQA+ community, I celebrate this profound becoming. After 30 years of hiding as a gay man, the birth of my daughter brought me clarity—I needed to be myself, shining light into every dark corner within me that craved illumination. Today, I share myself with the you as a vessel holding space for unity of personal and collective liberation, through the practice and medicine that is yoga, art, ritual, meditation & community—practicing to love ourselves and this divine embodied life, which contains all the answers we seek within it.

Through this work in service, I celebrate The Holy I Am Presence—opening up to the truth beyond all that is false. I hold space for releasing and surrendering to the divine within us all, so that we may receive the abundance that has always been available to us – It is our birthright. My mission is to create spaces for us to align with this divine energy, in order to be free and whole, in our safety, sexuality, centeredness, voice, intuition, and spirit.

Exploring My Journey

The Serpent of Wisdom

Liberation through transformation, fear reveals the path to joy.

Leaving the toxic corporate world at the peak of my career was an act of liberation, a shedding of old skin to reveal my true self. By embracing my deepest fears, I unearthed my most ecstatic joy. This journey led me to honor my queerness, face my anxieties, and become a father. Through this transformation, I discovered that within every fear lies the potential for profound growth and purpose.

The Queer Mystic

Cultivating queer wellness, where love dissolves duality.

I create spaces for the wellness and vitality of queer individuals, dedicated to cultivating a practice that is inclusive and nurturing. Queerness is our medicine, and queer ecology our nature—rewriting our stories with the truths embodied in our experiences. We, as the queer collective, exist unapologetically, embracing love over duality, and celebrating life in its fullest expression.

The Loving Creator

Birthing a new world through art and yoga, where the divine expresses itself.

As an artistic yogi, I venture into the unknown to create a world of love, understanding, and new possibilities. My work is a celebration of spirit and the divine, expressed through art and yoga. Together, we release what no longer serves us, making way for the emergence of a new earth filled with freedom, joy, and conscious self-expression.

The Dad

Join Our Family Journey

Fatherhood has infused my life with profound purpose and heart-centered joy. I cherish the role of a father, and I welcome all families—queer, co-parenting, or single parents—into our yoga family. Through kids’ yoga, parent-child sessions, and creative play, we explore the depths of our hearts together, creating moments of love, laughter, and connection.

The Divine I Am

Reclaiming our power, the sacred meets the present reality.

My work is rooted in the energy of the new world we are collectively birthing by reclaiming our power. Through transformational retreats, shamanic journeys, and ancestral rituals, I guide others to reconnect with their true selves. By integrating ancient wisdom with present realities, we break free from old paradigms, stepping into a future of love, freedom, and unapologetic self-expression.
