Hi.I’m Jyotsna.
I believe the most interesting parts of life happen in the layers—the quiet space between where we’ve been and where we’re going, the rituals we cling to (morning coffee, evening serums), and the small, stubborn questions that follow us like shadows. Kosha & Clay is my way of tracing those layers: the earthy and the ethereal, the sacred and the silly, the places we wander and the selves we carry with us.
This isn’t about grand revelations or picture-perfect itineraries. It’s about the way travel teaches us to see differently, how skin care can feel like a language of care, and why spirituality sometimes looks more like stumbling than soaring. It’s about the moments that don’t make the highlight reel but stick with you anyway—the smell of a spice market, the book that rearranged your thoughts, the way a stranger’s kindness can feel like a compass.
Consider this a gentle nudge to slow down, look closer, and maybe laugh at yourself along the way. No pressure, no pretense—just the messy, magic work of being human.
Why “Kosha and Clay?”
Kosha. The Sanskrit word for “sheath” – those five layers of being that yoga whispers about, from skin to spirit. A reminder that we’re never just one thing, but archives of every place we’ve been, every ritual we’ve loved, every lesson that’s etched itself into us.
Clay. Earth’s first language. The stuff that remembers hands – how they shape, how they heal, how they leave fingerprints on everything they touch. Proof that transformation isn’t about perfection, but about showing up, again and again, willing to be molded.
Together, they’re an ode to the art of becoming: where skincare becomes ceremony, travel becomes conversation, and the act of waking up each day becomes its own kind of alchemy.
