Experiencing Pantala
Engaging with Pantala means you have a hunger in your belly for personal exploration and spiritual transformation. This investigation into our selves is a strong contrast to that of the commercialised wellbeing industry. This is simple, traditional yoga and meditation in conjunction with immersive experiences, workshops and training, all designed to help you go deeper within.
The Pantala dragonfly travels across oceans to complete its annual multi-generational pilgrimage, while the average dragonfly lives within just a few kilometres of where its egg first hatched. At Pantala, we guide you on the most important journey of all, life, a journey that when lived fully forces you to move and grow beyond who you once believed you were, and who you thought you were capable of becoming. The way home is on a pathway only the brave amongst us are willing to tread.

Our Values
Compassion
Act with loving kindness. Be empathetic, reciprocate, support one another. Try not to judge, seek to understand.
Exploration
Experiences across both internal and external landscapes. Discovering ourselves anew, with time and space to go where we’re drawn to.
Consciousness
Raise awareness in ourselves, others, and the world. Work together with like-minded people and groups.
Discipline
This type of work takes work. Commitment and dedication are required to achieve your desired outcomes.
Freedom
To be ourselves, to speak and act our truths. Create space to share vulnerabilities. No dogma. No bullying.
Our Founder
Pantala was founded by Asha Easteal, a passionate yoga and meditation student and teacher. Her own journey towards self-acceptance and discovery is the fire for this project.
For a significant portion of her life Asha struggled with addiction, toxic relationships, and feelings of unworthiness, inadequacy, and mistrust. Even when things looked picture perfect – a successful career, homeowner, long-term yoga practitioner, those same underlying feelings and lack of self-worth were ever-present.
It wasn’t until she dove deeper into her spiritual practice and started to really listen and lean into the uncomfortableness of what was arising that she was able to move forward. Questions surrounding who she really was, her life’s purpose, and whether or not she truly loved herself would no longer let her be. Asha knew she wanted more.
She left her secure job and travelled from Australia to India. Like the Pantala dragonfly, her life’s journey brought her back to Mother India. Nothing would ever be the same again.

An Enchanted Portal for Self-Discovery
and Transformation
The initial stint to India was a transformational healing experience punctuated by time spent with powerful teachers, learning about and partaking in yogic and spiritual traditions and practices. Her conscious awareness grew, as did self-love, and her dharma to serve others on the journey back to ‘Self’ became clear.
Pantala is a space where Asha and a collective of other teachers, healers, and agents of positive change share what they know to support those ready to embark on the journey back to Self.
‘Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in eternal awareness or pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.’ Voltaire
The Pantala flavescens dragonfly takes a much different path when compared to all other dragonfly species. Known as the Globe Skimmer, Globe Wanderer, or Wandering Glider, this insect arguably travels further than any other in the world, making an annual multi-generational journey (4 generations) of approximately 18,000 km from India to East Africa and back again. Individuals can fly more than 6,000km on their own, this when the average dragonfly lives within a few miles of where it was born. Like the Pantala dragonfly, you too need to choose the life you were meant to lead – no matter where it takes you.
