About Yoga & Movement Instruction
Why Movement Matters to Me
Movement is happiness, plain and simple. I grew up as an athlete, but yoga showed me it's not just about strength or discipline - it's about balance, listening to your body, and being kind to yourself. Honestly, sometimes the cats crash my sessions, and not every pose is picture-perfect. That's life, no?
My Vibe & Class Options
- My classes are open to everyone - whether you’re a total newbie or have been practicing for years.
- I offer regular group yoga in Ashok Nagar. We flow, breathe, sometimes laugh at ourselves, and feel better for it.
- Flex Flow is perfect if you’re into yoga for injury recovery or just want more mobility, run in Kasturba Road.
- Looking for mindful movement classes with a twist? Try Primal Flow (think animal flow exercises for strength and fun), Qigong for calm, and Partner Yoga for connection.
- Certified in prenatal yoga support, I create safe, supportive spaces for expecting and new moms.
- I run kids outdoor yoga sessions too, with games, animal walks, and fresh air.
What to Expect
- Every session includes breathwork, simple meditation, and maybe some sound healing (singing bowls are my jam).
- Sometimes there’s journaling or intention setting, especially in workshops.
- No judgment, just good vibes and real progress.
I’m here to help you move, heal, and find a bit of joy - whether your head’s in the clouds or your cat’s on your mat.

My Story
Hey, I’m Bhavya. Born in Coorg, I grew up chasing medals as a Karnataka athlete, but yoga pulled me in after injuries made me slow down. Now, yoga’s my way to find peace, not just power. My cats? Always around, sneaking into my practice. My bike, Bumblebee, is my escape—nothing beats a ride in the hills. Life’s a mashup: discipline, adventure, and lots of cuddles from my furballs.
My Work
Yoga and Movement Sessions - I teach Primal Flow yoga, General Yoga, Pre & Post Natal Yoga, Qigong, Partner & Acro Yoga, Kids Yoga, and sound healing classes.
My Teaching Style - We focus on mobility and flexibility training, not just intense stuff. I want you to move pain-free, at your own pace.
Everyone’s Welcome - No judgement here. Yoga is for every body. It’s about finding your own balance, on and off the mat.
Chill Vibes Only - My cats sometimes join class—so expect a furry supervisor during your session!
