About Eve Mendoza

Eve has been devoted to Jyotish Shastra since 1996.  She has lived in India from her youth, permanently coming back to the USA in 2010.  Her additional certifications and studies besides Jyotish Vidya are Ayurveda, Yoga Shastra, Death Midwifery and the handling and care of venomous reptiles.  As she has been mostly serving communities based on private referral, she does not include reviews or wish to add more words here.  She spends most of her time teaching Jyotish and is reducing her private reading schedule.  She currently has openings from May to August, 2026.  Schedule a private reading with her here 

Eve's Journey 

Personal Note From Eve 

I am honored you would give me the chance to serve my teacher through you.  After witnessing how he lived, day in and day out, the level of trust and the bond of faith was kindled within my heart.  His entire life was service.  He remained available to us inexhaustibly and was the living example of how to truly love and serve others. In the mirror of his matchless example, I was left with only the recognition of how far away I am from the true selfless-service he lived and breathed. I am grateful for this opportunity to sit with you, as it is as close as I get to what he requested me to do.  Thank you. 

sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ
sarve santu nirāmayāḥ |
sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu
mā kaścid duḥkhabhāg bhavet ||

May all beings be happy.
May all be free from illness.
May all see what is auspicious.
May none suffer or partake in sorrow.

Eve's New Website and Offering:
More Class Schedules to be Announced in October 2026 

Eve has been a private enthusiast of Yoga Shastra. She has avidly studied the important classical works and for many years, avoided the physical asanas due to the misrepresentation of the essence of Yoga which is common in the West. Her offering below is not to commercialize Yoga more than it already has been, but to help those who may not traditionally seek out Yoga teachers or realize that Yoga practices may benefit their meditation immensely. 

 

She is interested in working with meditators to help to construct a weekly routine that is beneficial for their private practice. Eve will not be teaching anything such as Kriya, Kundalini or Siddha Yoga or anything else sensationalized (such as Tantra) that should be left to genuine Gurus. These classes are best suited for people who would like to be free of discomfort while meditating and less distracted in general. She can help with some concentration techniques and physical asanas (postures) that aide in better meditation. She will not interfere in your tradition and will teach you only according to your tradition.  

She will be offering end of life meditation for those who are suffering terminal illness, are passing through this process alone or are in need of gentle practices that support awareness of the serious transitions of life.  Please find these links below.
