SAGANTARA 

  • Inspiration from our Founder's Name (Haiying):
    "海英"(Haiying), almost the same sound to "海音" (Haiyin) in Chinese, which means "Sound or Music of the Sea."

  • SAGARA: The sea, connecting to vastness and tranquility.

    ANTARA: Within or the interior, drawing parallels to the spirit and soul. Also means "a verse in Hindustani classical music".

  • SAGAN (Lord Shiva): Implies responsibility, safety, growth, honesty, good relationships, equality, and care.

    TARA (Star/Feminine): Conveys stability, peace, love, truth, and discipline.

  • The Sagantara logo embodies the essense of Eastern philosophy and the fluid grace of the sea. Its design takes inspiration from the serpent of Kundalini, elegantly coiling around a central spine, representing the awakening of energy, with the shapes echoing the concept of infinity and the number eight - both central to Kundalini teachings.

    Simultaneously, the logo reveals a stylized monogram of "Sagantara". blending the company's initials into a symbol of balance and harmony. The chosen typography marries straight lines with gently rounded tips, softening the overall look while the generous letter spacing evokes a sense of expansiveness and breath, reflective of Sagantara's commitment to providing space for growth and inner peace.

Our Founder

Authentic & Intuitive
Eastern Root & Yachting Experience

Rooted in a childhood amidst the tea farms of Fujian Province, particularly in Quanzhou City where Tie Guan Yin, a cherished Oolong tea, originated, our founder Haiying 海英 epitomizes a deep connection to Chinese Yang Sheng “养生” and holistic well-being principles.

As a certified yoga teacher and diving instructor, Haiying has ventured extensively across Southeast and South Asia, Micronesia, French-Polynesia, the Middle East, Europe as well as North, South, and Central America. These global journeys have enriched her understanding of diverse cultures and indigenous wellness practices.

Before establishing Sagantara, Haiying accrued invaluable experience working aboard superyachts across various departments, gaining firsthand insight into the intricacies of the yachting industry.

Driven by an unwavering belief in the fusion of Eastern and Western wisdom, her mission is to harness the healing power of the ocean, to unlock the synergies between these rich traditions, offering holistic solutions for modern nomads.
