About Advanced Yoga Workshops

Why I Teach Advanced Yoga

I know how it feels to look at a headstand or arm balance and think, “Arre yaar, yeh mere bas ka nahi hai” (Man, this isn’t for me). I’ve been that person too. My workshops came from this struggle - they’re for people who want to try, even if the poses seem impossible.

Not About Insta Fame

If you just want a flashy photo for the ‘gram, this isn’t it. Here, we do the real work. We grunt, we fall, we laugh, we sigh. Then, one day, you float up and realize you’ve built actual strength. I’m obsessed with proper technique and I’ll call out sloppy alignment, but I also celebrate every tiny win.

Workshop Options

Mumbai, In-Person: Arm balance techniques for beginners and Pincha mayurasana workshop. The studio in Powai is full of energy and support. We get hands-on, playful, and practical.
Online, Live: Headstand safety tips and overcoming fear of inversions right from your home. Limited spots so I can give personal attention - I’ll be watching you like a hawk.

What You’ll Learn

Shoulder strength yoga drills and deep core work
Step-by-step breakdowns of tricks and technique
Using walls and props for safety and confidence
Making peace with falling (because it’s gonna happen)

If you want to train your body and mind for real, not just for the camera, this is where you start.

My Story

I’m Charu. My dad raised me tough – discipline, self-respect, and a flat belly was his motto. Life threw me a curveball with back pain, disc bulges, and endless nights of sciatica. I cried, I doubted, but yoga taught me to face the raw truth. From lifting tiny weights in physio to squatting with 15kg now – I’m proud. Mumbai’s chaos, family rice and aamti in the baarish (rain), travel, all of it keeps me grateful. It’s taken a village, and I’m never forgetting that.
