Real Yoga for Real Life: Small Group Online Classes
I’m not here to help you nail Instagram-perfect poses. My online classes are about showing up, owning your practice, and building strength that lasts outside the mat. Let’s get real.
This is a pretty accurate summary of my class. I’ll push you, I’ll call you out, but I’ll also make sure you rest and feel amazing afterward. Expect some tough love, real-time corrections, and a whole lot of fun.
Don't just take my word for it. Listen to what my students have to say about what it's really like to practice with me online. This is what building a community and getting stronger together looks like, even through a screen.
This is my own Sirsasana (headstand) journey from 2021 to 2023. It wasn't pretty or quick. It was filled with fear, frustration, and comparing myself to others. This is my reminder to you, and to myself, that progress is never a straight line. Your journey is your own.
Struggling with balance in Tree Pose (Vrikshasana)? It's often about the hips. In my classes, I break down the mechanics of each asana, so you understand the 'why' behind the movement. This is a quick tutorial on how to find stability by creating opposite forces in the body.
If you have lower back pain from sitting all day, this one's for you. Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) is one of the most effective ways to relieve stiffness and pressure. My classes often include targeted movements to help you manage and work through your specific aches and pains.
Yoga isn't just about flexibility. It's about building real, functional strength. I started lifting weights at 39 to deal with my own body's truths, and it changed everything. We incorporate strength training in our practice to build a body that's resilient and capable.
Here’s the essential info, no fluff. My classes are online, small, and focused. I have a strict no-carry-forward policy because discipline is part of the practice. This is how we build consistency and respect for our time and commitment.
My practice isn't about creating pretty shapes for social media. It's about the real, messy, and beautiful process of meeting yourself on the mat. It's about moving, breathing, and being present with whatever comes up.
About Featured
You won't just follow along to a pre-recorded loop here. In my live 2 to 10 person Zoom batches, I keep my ‘spy eyes’ on you the whole time. If you’re slumping or your alignment is off, I’ll call it out, and we’ll fix it right there. It’s not always comfortable, but it’s the only way to get stronger safely.
Why Small Group Matters
I run my batches with a maximum of 10 people because I need to see you. If you are hiding in the back or just going through the motions, I will know. This isn't a passive video session. I combine Hatha basics with Vinyasa flow and functional strength drills, ensuring you understand the 'why' behind every movement. Whether you are using a dupatta as a prop or lifting water bottles for resistance, we work with what you have.
The Method
My practice is built on discipline. I have a strict policy: no recordings and no carry-forwards. If you miss a class, that session is gone. This might sound harsh, but discipline is half the journey, yaar. We focus on active monitoring. I don't just demonstrate and let you guess; I watch your lumbar spine and knee alignment in real-time to prevent injury.
Who This Is For
I work with people who are tired of the 'Insta-yoga' culture. If you are a working professional dealing with chronic back pain, sciatica, or just general stiffness from sitting at a desk all day, this is for you. We address the root cause of the discomfort with targeted physiotherapy drills and consistent practice.
If you are ready to stop looking for excuses and start putting in the work, you are in the right place.
Charu
I’m Charu. I teach yoga the way I learned it: through grit, discipline, and honest feedback. No fluff, no filters, just real movement for real people.
