Yoga & Pranayama for Holistic Health in Shalimar Bagh
My elders always said, 'Pehla sukh nirogi kaya' (the first happiness is a healthy body). Join me to align your body and mind through daily asana and breathwork.
This is me, Karuna, in a moment of deep meditation in the Himalayas. I believe that connecting with nature is a powerful way to connect with ourselves, and I bring this sense of peace and grounding to every session I guide.
We all know 'Pehla sukh nirogi kaya', but do we take out time for our health? I invite you to make yoga a part of your daily routine, even if it's just for one hour, to achieve true physical and mental wellness.
In this video, I explain the science behind Bhramari Pranayama (the humming bee breath). Just a single humming sound can increase beta waves in the brain, which helps improve concentration and provides relief from headaches and migraines.
Why should we practice pranayama? I answer this question and explain how breathing exercises are essential for relaxing the mind and preparing yourself for a deeper state of meditation.

A collection of different yoga asanas, from seated meditation poses to deep stretches like Hanumanasana (the splits) and Ustrasana (camel pose). Each posture is a journey towards harmonizing the mind, body, and spirit.
Finding my center in Rishikesh. Here I am in Padmasana (lotus pose) in front of a beautiful mural of Lord Shiva and the seven chakras, connecting to the spiritual energy of this sacred place.
An invitation to celebrate International Yoga Day. I encourage everyone to start their day with a yoga practice to connect with their inner self and find physical and mental fitness.
If you are feeling mental stress, anxiety, or physical discomfort, I invite you to join me. In this video, I talk about how making yoga a part of your daily life can bring both physical and mental health. I offer both online and offline classes from my Aura Yog Centre.
About Yoga & Pranayama for Holistic Health
Many people come to me worried that they aren't 'flexible enough' for yoga, but we don't start with complex poses. In my sessions at Aura Yog Centre, we use props and modifications to ensure your body feels safe, focusing specifically on relieving cervical and back pain while slowly building your capacity.
Why Pranayama Matters
Most of us breathe shallowly throughout the day, which keeps our nervous system in a constant state of 'fight or flight.' In my classes, we don't just do physical asanas. I integrate Pranayama (breathwork) because it is the quickest way to calm a racing mind. Whether it is Bhramari (humming bee breath) to help with migraines or simple Nadi Shodhana to balance your energy, you will learn techniques you can actually use when you are stressed at work or struggling to sleep.
My Approach to Wellness
I believe health is not just about muscles; it is about how you feel from within. At my Shalimar Bagh studio, I keep the environment calm—dimmed lights, comfortable mats, and a space where you don't feel judged.
- For Beginners: We focus on alignment and safety to fix posture issues and stiffness.
- For Pain Relief: I provide specific modifications for those dealing with chronic back pain or cervical discomfort.
- For Mental Clarity: We end sessions with guided relaxation, which helps release the psychosomatic stress that causes tension.
Studio Experience
We practice in small groups of 8 to 12 people. This is intentional. It allows me to correct your posture personally, just like I would if I were guiding a friend. If you cannot make it to the studio in Shalimar Bagh, I also conduct these sessions online with the same personal attention.
'Pehla sukh nirogi kaya'—make yoga a part of your dincharya (daily routine), and you will see the difference in how you handle your day. Har Har Mahadev.
Karuna Ahuja
Namaste, I’m Karuna. My own journey through pain led me to yoga, and now I help others find that same relief in their bodies and minds. We keep things simple here: just one hour for yourself, and the rest of the day, you stay mast.
