Hari Trivedi

Hari Trivedi, who also works under the name Ishan-Sattva, is a tabla player, producer, sound healer and holistic therapist based in Leicester. He describes his YouTube channel as a place where rhythm, mantra and sound journeys meet: ancient chants and spiritual vibrations woven with contemporary sounds, as a bridge between tradition and modern expression. It carries original tracks and albums, live tabla and fusion performances, and sound healing journeys and meditations.

His sound work draws on crystal singing bowls, mantra and breathwork, alongside energy work. He is described as someone with roots in music, psychology and ancient spiritual practice, who helps people release emotional blockages and reconnect. He also leads workshops that combine theory, hands-on practice and guided experience, and has co-led a sound and mindfulness retreat with mindfulness coach Holly Smith.

By his own account, his spiritual path began in childhood. He names Shri Shivakrupananda Swami (meditation), Anne Jones (energy healing) and Shri Avdhoot Shivanand (ShivYog) as influences. He was also raised on the Bhagavad Gita through the Swadhyay movement. He studied Reiki under Smt Arti Seth in India in 2008 and qualified as an Advanced Tantric Massage Therapist with the Somananda Tantra School in Estonia. He is also an Ayurvedic Massage Therapist, accredited by the FHT and CMA through Tri-Dosha. He says he has practised healing for over 15 years, and that he is studying for a master's in the psychology of mental health and wellbeing to bring psychology into his work.

In his one-to-one practice, he blends tantra, Ayurveda, Reiki, meditation and breathwork, and works with trust, confidentiality and consent at the centre of each session. He says he channels his connection to spirituality into music, creativity, movement and meditation alike.
