Traditional Hatha Yoga and Asana Practice
Yoga is not just exercise; it is the meeting point of the self and the infinite. Join me in moving through foundational Hatha Yoga sequences designed to build strength, flexibility, and a calm, centered mind.
A group of students practicing a seated pose with arms raised, energizing the spine and opening the chest. This moment captures the collective energy and focus during one of our indoor yoga workshops.
For advanced poses like Sirsasana (headstand), I provide careful, hands-on assistance to ensure safety and proper alignment. This video shows me guiding a student into the full expression of the pose during an outdoor session.
Correct alignment is key to a safe and effective practice. In this outdoor class, I am providing a gentle adjustment to a student in Tadasana (Mountain Pose) to help her find her foundation and balance.
Students are seen here practicing Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) in unison. This back-bending asana is excellent for strengthening the spine and opening the heart, a common pose in our Hatha yoga classes.
This compilation shows various moments from an indoor class, including hands-on adjustments in restorative poses like Matsyasana (Fish Pose) and guidance for inversions. My goal is to help every student feel comfortable and supported.
Students hold Pranamasana (Prayer Pose) at the start of our practice. This simple gesture of bringing the palms together at the heart center helps to focus the mind and set an intention for the session.
A group of students practicing a variation of Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) inside the beautiful geodesic dome. The natural light and wooden floors create a warm and inviting atmosphere for our yoga practice.
Students are seen here in a seated posture with arms raised, a preparatory pose that helps to lengthen the spine and open the shoulders. This was taken during a morning session focused on creating energy for the day ahead.
Every class ends with Savasana (Corpse Pose), the most important asana for integration and deep rest. Here, students lie peacefully, allowing the benefits of the practice to settle into their bodies and minds.
About The Practice: Asanas in Action
I don't just teach poses; I focus on how you move into them. Whether you are refining a basic Tadasana or building the strength for an inversion, I provide hands-on adjustments to ensure your alignment is safe. My priority is making sure your body feels open and supported, not strained, so you can actually experience the peace that yoga promises.
True yoga is an inside-out process. In my sessions, we focus on traditional Hatha Yoga—slow, intentional, and alignment-focused. We begin with the basics, like Surya Namaskar, which is excellent for warming up the spine and building rhythmic breath. If you are joining my online interactive Zoom classes, I watch your alignment closely and offer corrections just as I would in person.
For those in West Delhi or Rajouri Garden, I offer private, one-on-one sessions where we create a sequence specifically for your body, whether you are dealing with chronic back pain, stiff shoulders, or just want to improve your flexibility. The point is not to perform a perfect pose for a photo; it is to use the pose to quiet the mind.
Every class includes Pranayama—breathwork like Nadi Shodhana—because as I always say, 'tum saans do, main sukoon doonga' (give breath, get peace). We close with Savasana, the most vital part of the practice. If you are new, start with five minutes. Consistency matters more than complexity. Join a batch that fits your timezone, or reach out for a private session.
