[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/barefoot_coach_shanth_koushik/yoga-instruction/gallery) Fitness is about what your body can do, not how it looks in a mirror. Whether you are a runner dealing with tight hamstrings or someone just starting out, my sessions focus on functional strength and mobility that you can actually use. ## Photos and videos - [Video: People say I'm lucky to be fit, but this is what that "luck" looks like.

My sessions are functional—we combine Vinyasa flows with bodyweight conditioning like push-ups and plank jacks to build real strength. Whether you're a runner dealing with tight hamstrings or a desk worker needing mobility, we focus on what your body can actually do, not how it looks in a mirror. ### My Approach to Fitness I believe fitness should be a joy, not a chore. My training style is rooted in consistency and progress. I don't care about perfect form or having an 'Instagram-ready' pose. I care about the extra rep, the one more kilometer, and showing up even when you don't feel like it. ### Why Functional Strength Matters Many people think yoga is just about stretching, but my approach in Bellandur and HSR Layout is different. We blend Vinyasa flow with strength training to create a solid foundation. * **Mobility for Daily Life:** We target hip and hamstring tightness, which is common if you have a desk job or are a runner. * **Strength-Focused Yoga:** You will find push-ups, plank jacks, and core-strengthening drills in our flows. The goal is a high caloric burn and building muscle, not just static holding. * **Community Vibes:** Classes are held in semi-outdoor spaces, keeping the energy high. It’s like a fitness *jatre* (festival) where everyone cheers for the small wins. ### Practical Details If you're joining a group session, expect a community vibe with 8 to 15 participants. We meet 3 times a week for 60-minute sessions. It’s perfect for cross-training if you are a runner, or if you simply want to build a more resilient body. I also offer private 1-on-1 sessions if you need specific help with injury recovery, advanced skill acquisition like headstands, or if you prefer training at home. No matter the format, my goal is to help you build a body that feels strong, stable, and ready for whatever life throws at you. ## About Shanthi Krishnan I'm Shanthi. I'm a mom, a barefoot runner, and I believe fitness is a soul reset. I don't care about perfect bodies; I care about showing up and doing the work, even when the struggle is real. Let's get stronger together.
