🌄 My Path to Teaching Yoga and Meditation

A Story of Spiritual Legacy, Devotion, and Inner Calling.

My name is Ved Valmiki — though I was born Aaron Rampersadsingh. The name ‘Ved’ was given to me by my spiritual teacher, Sri Vasudeva, an enlightened master of Trinidad and Tobago.

It comes from the Sanskrit root “Veda,” meaning spiritual knowledge — and it reflects the deep calling I feel to transmit the essence of Yoga in its purest, most transformative form.

My journey began early.

​I was introduced to yoga at age five and raised in the teachings and presence of the Kundalini Mahayoga lineage. But it wasn’t until adulthood — after achieving outer success and returning home to care for my mother in her final days — that the spiritual path opened fully before me.
​
After her passing, I moved into my Guru’s ashram, where I lived for nine months immersed in spiritual practice, self-transformation, and meditation. Before leaving, I received the name ‘Ved,' which has been a guiding light for my life. 

🔱 The Moment Everything Changed: Pilgrimage to Kedarnath

In 2015, I was invited on pilgrimage through the Himalayan mountains with my Guru.
​
We visited four ancient temples, each radiating immense spiritual power and history. But it was at Kedarnath, a temple that had been hidden by a glacier for centuries before reappearing again, in presence of that ancient shrine, that the inspiration came to me. 

I knew then that my life was meant to be in service to the spiritual path, and to guide others on the path of Yoga.

That moment changed everything.
​

🕉️ Spiritual Roots and Professional Preparation

I later earned my Yoga certification in India at SVYASA Yoga University in Bangalore — through a scholarship from the Indian High Commission of Trinidad and Tobago.

Before that, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology (on full scholarship) in the United States.
​
This dual training — in ancient spiritual science and modern human psychology — allows me to bridge deep wisdom with practical teaching, meeting students where they are.
​

🧘‍♂️ Yoga with Ved: From Humble Beginnings to a Spiritual Home

After returning to Trinidad, I registered Yoga With Ved and began teaching in gyms and studios. Within a year, the work grew, and I was able to rent my own space. A few years later, I built my home and home studio — where I now teach classes, workshops, online events, and retreats. I prioritize working with persons who are looking for deep spiritual discovery and self-transformation through ongoing coaching programs and carefully designed retreat experiences. 
​
Each offering is rooted in the teachings of the masters, presence, and the science of the subtle energy body in Yoga.

📖 Author of Start Meditating Today

A Practical & Spiritual Guide for Seekers of Stillness

In 2024, I published my first book:

• Practical techniques to begin a sustainable meditation practice

The book is available worldwide and serves as a doorway into the teachings I offer through retreats and membership.

💎 What Sets My Work Apart​

I don’t teach commercialized yoga.
I don’t reduce spirituality to productivity or self-help.

My work is:

• 🔮 Rooted in Lineage — based on the Kundalini Mahayoga tradition, grounded in teachings by my Guru
• 💠 Subtle and Scientific — teaching chakra mastery, mysteries of the subtle energy body, and inner alchemy
• 🌱 Psychologically Informed — integrating self-awareness, modern coaching and thoughtful feedback
• ✨ Spiritually Potent — designed to awaken the deeper Self, not just manage stress

​​I work closely with students who are ready for transformation — those willing to go beyond postures and into the mystical depths of Yoga.
​

🌿 Who I Work With

You may feel the resonance to work with me if you are:

• A yoga teacher longing to deepen your spiritual foundation
• A professional who has achieved outer success, but feels something deeper is missing
• A seeker experiencing subtle energies or awakening signs they don’t yet understand
• Someone who knows — quietly, deeply — that more is possible in your life

If any of this speaks to you then you’re in the right place.
