## About Adult Yoga & Mindfulness

### Why I Practice and Teach Yoga

When I first started yoga, I thought it was just about physical fitness. But over time, I found that the real magic is in how it helps you find `shanti` (peace) inside. My teachers taught me yoga is about showing up for yourself, not being perfect.

### Our Approach at the Shala

Every adult’s journey in yoga is different. At my `shala` in JP Nagar, Bangalore, or online, I guide you whether you want mindful movement for adults, are just starting out, or already deep into your practice. You can choose what fits your needs best.

### Ashtanga Yoga - Discipline & Flow

Mysore Style lets you move at your own pace; I come around, give tips and corrections, and you grow from wherever you are. Led Primary Series is a group class, pretty intense, we sweat and push each other, especially early mornings during `Brahma Muhurta` (before sunrise). It’s not easy, but it builds real strength.

### Hatha Yoga - Foundation & Calm

These sessions are gentler, perfect if you want yoga for stress relief and anxiety or just a calm way to stretch and build strength. All adults, all fitness levels are welcome.

### Pranayama & Meditation

Breathwork and meditation classes help you slow down and focus. I run regular pranayama sessions and a 21-day Journey Inwards for meditation. We also have a free weekly online session called The Mindful Hour.

### Everyone’s Welcome

Inclusivity matters to me. We’ve got women-only Hatha classes and adapt for neurodivergent adults or those with special needs. Anyone can join and find their own path.

### Our Community

Our `shala` is a sangha (community), not just a studio. Here, you’re part of a group that supports each other. Yoga isn’t just exercise - it’s about finding your people.

## Meet your expert

[Nitesh Batra](https://mytribe.in/ashtangayogasadhna)

### My story

Namaste. Back in 2006, I just wanted to get healthier, but yoga pulled me deeper. Under my guru Sh. Sharath Jois, Ashtanga became more than poses - it became my way. I wandered the Himalayas, trekked to Mt. Shivling, learned from Buddhist teachers, even studied Compassion at Stanford. Our shala, Ashtanga Yoga Sadhna, grew from a tiny idea to a real home. We’re not chasing perfection here, just showing up, learning, sharing. Grateful for this community, and for every teacher who’s lit my way.

### My work

- **Holistic Yoga & Mindfulness Classes**: We offer Mysore style Ashtanga, gentle Hatha, Pranayama, daily meditation, kids yoga summer camp, kirtan, and more.
- **A Real Community, Not Just a Studio**: Our shala is a kula - a home, not a gym. We honor each person’s journey, breath, and rhythm.
- **Yoga for All Bodies and Minds**: Women-only yoga classes, fun kids programs, and special neurodivergent yoga workshops make sure everyone feels welcome.
- **Practice that Goes Deep**: We focus on asana, pranayama, meditation, and discipline. Show up, move, breathe, repeat. Growth comes slowly.
- **Living Yoga Off the Mat**: We do pilgrimages, solstice sadhanas, and raise funds for tribal kids. Yoga is more than exercise – it’s a way to live.
