Mahesh Vinayakram is a Grammy-nominated vocalist in the Carnatic music tradition and the creator of “Karna-Tech” — an innovative style that blends sacred Indian vocals with technology, beatboxing, Bulgarian choirs, and African percussion.
He was the first Indian singer to be invited to perform with the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil and is a recipient of the prestigious UNESCO Millennium Award.
Born into a legendary musical dynasty, Mahesh is the son of Padma Bhushan awardee and ghatam virtuoso Vikku Vinayakram. He began his musical training at an early age and is a senior disciple of Radha Viswanathan, daughter of the legendary M. S. Subbulakshmi and a torchbearer of the Semmangudi bani tradition of Carnatic music.
On international stages, he has performed alongside renowned artists including Ustad Zakir Hussain and Talvin Singh. His musical vision transcends boundaries — bringing ancient traditions together with contemporary innovation and placing Indian classical music in a modern global context.

Kati Shanti began practicing yoga at the age of 16 and today has more than 20 years of experience in both practicing and teaching yoga around the world. She has studied yoga extensively in India, Germany, Spain, and other countries, drawing inspiration from teachers including Rolf and Marci Naujokat, Ana Forrest, and José Calarco.
Kati is a certified Hatha Yoga and Pranayama teacher, as well as a certified Yin, Prenatal, and Postnatal Yoga teacher.
She is the founder of Georgia’s first international yoga community and two studios: Tbilisi Yoga Loft (2020) and Tbilisi Yoga Villa (2022), as well as Yoga Loft Academy, where more than 50 teachers have been trained.
At the heart of her teaching is mindful practice and awareness of the self. A class can be completely quiet and meditative, incorporating breathwork, or it can evolve into a dynamic Ashtanga practice and more intensive physical work.
