About this collection
If you are looking for a community that challenges your habits—like binge-watching or inconsistent sleep—instead of just giving you a certificate, this is it. Our students do not just learn asanas here; they rewire their daily routines, whether through our 4-month teacher training or a 9-day sadhana, to find a sense of stillness that lasts long after they leave the mat.
At Aikia Yogashala, we do not call them clients; we call them Sadhakas. The stories you see here reflect the reality of our 300-hour Teacher Training Course and our intensive meditation sessions. Unlike typical fitness studios in Bangalore, we do not rely on trends. Whether it is a student discovering spiritual companionship on our yatra to Puri or a busy professional finding balance through Vrikshasan and Bhujangasan, the theme remains the same: consistency.
You will find students here who were initially hesitant about the rigor, but who stayed because they wanted depth. We push for discipline. If you join our 4-month weekend TTC in HSR Layout, expect to wake up early, chant mantras, and engage with functional anatomy and philosophy. It is demanding, and that is by design. By the time our students finish, they are not just certified; they are grounded.
Our training includes:
- Deep Philosophy: We study the Bhagavad Gita, Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, and Upanishads to connect ancient wisdom to modern life.
- Holistic Practice: Beyond the mat, we practice Pranayama, Japa, and Shatkriyas to cleanse the system and calm the mind.
- Direct Mentorship: We do not offer distant instruction. Our gurus provide hands-on adjustments and guidance to ensure every student understands the alignment and energetics of each posture.
If you are ready for a real shift, not a shortcut, come meet us at our HSR Layout shala.
Aikia Yogashala
We are Namita and Surya, the faces behind Aikia Yogashala. We started this because we wanted a space where the Gita is lived, not just read, and where yoga is a serious, daily commitment. Come meet us at our HSR Layout shala if you are ready to stop doing yoga and start living it.
