A Glimpse into Our Practice at Ashtanga Yoga Sadhna
We believe yoga is more than just asanas or stretching; it is a journey toward stillness and community. Discover the rhythm of our shala in JP Nagar.
In the quiet hours before dawn, during what we call Brahma Muhurta, the real practice begins. It is not about achieving a perfect pose, but about the discipline of showing up for yourself on the mat, day after day. This is where we find our inner strength.
I started my yoga journey in 2006 for my health, but my teachers showed me it was about much more than asanas. It is a path to find stillness and peace within. In this video, I share my gratitude for this path and for all the teachers and students who walk it with me.
In our Mysore style classes, I offer personal guidance and hands-on adjustments. This helps you explore postures like drop-backs safely, building trust in your body and breath. The journey is about consistent practice, one step at a time.
We offer a daily Hatha Yoga class specifically for women. This session provides a calm, supportive, and nourishing space for women of all fitness levels to connect with their practice and build foundational strength.
Beyond the physical practice, we explore the mind's landscape. My 21-day "Journey Inwards Through Meditation" program is designed to help you overcome stress and cultivate a sustainable meditation practice, available both online and at our shala.
Our Led Primary Series class is an intense, two-hour session where we move and breathe together as a group. The shared energy is powerful, pushing us to build discipline and find a meditative flow even in a challenging practice.
Our shala is a sangha, a community. This photo from our Yoga Day celebration captures the joy and connection we share. We believe that finding your people is as important as finding your practice.
Ultimately, the goal of yoga is to quiet the noise of the mind. Through asana, pranayama, and meditation, we practice returning to a state of presence and inner silence.
About Featured
Whether you join us for our early morning Mysore-style practice or our evening Hatha sessions, you will find that we focus on consistency over intensity. I personally move through the room during Mysore hours to offer individual adjustments, ensuring you progress at your own pace and breath rather than rushing to mimic a pose you are not yet ready for.
At our shala in JP Nagar, we operate as a sangha, or a community of practitioners. Yoga here is not about fitness perfection; it is about cultivating a discipline that sustains you off the mat as well.
Our Approach
Our teaching is rooted in the lineage we have received. We honor the traditional Mysore style, which allows you to build a personal relationship with your practice. You show up, you breathe, and you move at the pace that suits your body. For those seeking a foundational start or a way to manage stress, our Hatha classes provide a slower, supportive environment using props and ropes to ensure correct alignment.
More Than Physical Exercise
We view the shala as a home, not a gym. This is why we have cultivated an inclusive environment with women-only classes, as well as specific programs for neurodivergent adults and children. We want everyone to have access to the benefits of breathwork, meditation, and mindful movement, regardless of where they are in their journey.
Connecting Within
Beyond the asanas, we dedicate time to Pranayama and meditation. Whether you are signing up for our 21-day Journey Inwards program or simply dropping in for a session, the goal remains the same: to find that inner peace or 'shanti' amidst the chaos of daily life. We do not chase fast results here; we embrace the slow, steady work of showing up for ourselves day after day.

I started my own journey in 2006 to heal, but found a path to something much deeper. I am simply here to share the quiet and discipline I have found through my teachers, holding space for you to discover your own strength and breath in this community.
