Meet Team Yatra
Sonal Patel
Sonal's life journey embodies a true roller coaster ride, as a full-time spiritual seeker and homemaker from the USA. Born in a small town in Gujarat, India, in a farmer's house, she experienced an authentic village lifestyle during her childhood. Later, she moved to the USA with her family, striving through various jobs to help her parents put food on the table for both her and her siblings. Despite a happy marriage and the responsibilities of being a homemaker and mother, she sensed an unfulfilled aspect within herself. Her transformation began when she discovered an Isha yoga class, igniting a change in her life. Eventually, she decided to move to India, settling in her guru's ashram nestled in the forests of South India at the foothills of the Velliangiri mountains. For a decade, she lived there with her two children, who attended an international boarding school. Devoting herself as a full-time volunteer, she served as a teacher and house parent, deeply engaging in diverse yoga practices as a dedicated sadhak, or seeker. Her role as a teacher led her and the children from the Isha Home School on numerous field trips across India, exploring its many sacred places. These journeys further enriched her spiritual quest, prompting her to extend her explorations across India. This passion to share her experiences culminated in the inception of Yatra LLC - 'A Journey to Divine,' aimed at guiding others to witness the spiritual essence she encountered in India otherwise known as 'Bharat.' Since then, this endeavor has become a significant manifestation in her life.
