Knowledge, Practice, and Healing
You may have arrived here because you’re seeking more than a yoga class or a lecture.
You’re looking for meaning—a way to bring together your body and mind, to feel rooted and resilient, to connect with wisdom that’s both ancient and deeply personal.
Maybe you’re a yoga teacher longing for more depth and context.
Maybe you’re a seeker who loves story, structure, and the transformative power of breath.
Maybe you’re in pain—physical or emotional—and looking for a path back to yourself.
Whatever led you here, welcome. This is a space where yoga, philosophy, and healing come together with care and clarity.
I’m Dr. Agi Wittich, and my work lives at the crossroads of Iyengar Yoga, Indian philosophy, and traditional herbal medicine.
Over two decades ago, I stepped into a yoga class that would change the direction of my life. Iyengar Yoga—with its honesty, discipline, and intelligence—became both a refuge and a teacher. It taught me how to live in my body, how to breathe through difficulty, how to stand tall.
But the practice raised questions, too—about its roots, its meaning, its evolution. I followed those questions all the way to a Ph.D. in Religious Studies, specializing in yoga, gender, and Hindu thought. My research has been published by Routledge and presented at institutions like Harvard Divinity School. I studied Sanskrit and Tamil texts, Indian mythology, and the rich complexity of yogic traditions, not just to understand—but to share, to translate, to make alive again.
Herbal medicine entered my life as another thread of healing. It taught me to listen—to symptoms, to cycles, to stories held in the body.
Each step in this journey deepened the same commitment:
to help others reclaim clarity, strength, and insight through embodied, thoughtful, and compassionate practice.
The Heart of My Work
My offerings are all part of this larger path—a way to invite others into the conversation between tradition and transformation.
Iyengar Yoga
I teach weekly Iyengar Yoga classes in Jerusalem, and occasionally offer special workshops and retreats. These classes are focused, attentive, and trauma-informed. They’re grounded in the belief that movement—done with awareness—can heal and empower.
My in-person yoga offerings are currently based in Jerusalem. Learn more here.
Yogic Study & Story
I share digital lectures and talks on Indian philosophy, yoga history, and mythological narratives. These sessions are crafted for yoga practitioners and teachers who want to explore deeper layers of meaning without academic jargon. My style is clear, structured, and always anchored in relevance.
You can explore my free resource library, which includes blog posts, recorded lectures, and downloadable guides on yoga, healing, and myth.
The Yoga Readers Online Community
Every two weeks, I guide a global yogic reading community, combining thoughtful reading, Zoom discussions, and community reflection. We explore classic yoga texts, share our questions, and connect through the lens of ancient wisdom.
Join the book club and receive reminders, reading guidance, and invitations to our meetings here.
Traditional Herbalism
As a trained herbalist, I offer holistic herbal consultations for individuals in Israel, drawing on Western and traditional herbal knowledge to support physical and emotional well-being.
Herbal treatments are available for residents of Israel in person or via Zoom. More information here.
A deep part of my commitment is to make ancient knowledge accessible.
I believe in the power of sharing, not guarding—so much of what I offer is freely available.

If my work has inspired or supported you, you’re warmly invited to Buy Me a Chai—a small gesture that helps sustain this offering-based model.
I also offer private reflection sessions via Talk Yoga to Agi. These are one-on-one conversations for yoga teachers, practitioners, or curious seekers who want to explore questions about practice, philosophy, teaching, or integration.
It’s not a consultation, not a coaching session—just space for depth, clarity, and shared inquiry.
If you’re new here, here are a few meaningful places to start:
I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
This is a space for study, practice, healing, and hope.
Let’s walk together, one breath at a time.
With warmth,
Agi
