From a Small Group to 4,000+ Women

On 21 September 2021, Smitha Haridas started a simple WhatsApp group called Positive Vibes — a handful of women seeking stillness together. Nobody could have predicted what it would grow into.

Batch by batch, the community grew. Women who came for meditation stayed for yoga and fitness. They found confidence, purpose — and then livelihood. Today Drida women run their own businesses, sell their own products, and support other women in becoming self-earning.

Along the way, Drida launched Kasar — our own line of wellness products born from the community: hair mist, herbal shampoo and face toner, made with care and love.

In 2025, Positive Vibes became Drida"where she awakens." A new name for an ever-deepening mission.

Beyond programmes, Drida quietly gives back — helping a child's education, visiting old age homes, supporting those in need in small but meaningful ways.

Everything You Need to Know

Is the free meditation course really free?

Yes — completely free. Drida's free batch - meditation programme has always been offered at no cost. There are no hidden fees, no payment required, and no obligation to purchase anything else. Simply register and join.

Do I need any prior experience?

No experience is needed at all. The free batch is designed for absolute beginners. Smitha guides you step by step through everything — breathing, posture, awareness — starting from the very basics.

Are the sessions online or in-person?

All Drida courses are conducted online via live video sessions. You can attend from anywhere — your home, office, or while travelling — as long as you have an internet connection.

Can men join Drida's courses?

Drida's primary focus is on women's wellbeing and empowerment, so most programmes are designed for women. The free education initiative and some community events are open to all. Please reach out to us if you have a specific question.

How do I access course videos after registering?

Once you register and log in to the Drida website, your enrolled courses will appear in "My Courses." Paid courses are gated — only enrolled members can view the content. For live sessions, you'll receive a link via WhatsApp or email.

What happens after I complete the free batch?

Many members join subsequent batches to deepen their practice. You can also progress to the Advanced Chakra Meditation course, join Yoga with Smitha, or participate in Drida's pilgrimages and community meet-ups.
