Traditional Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga Classes in Gurgaon
A disciplined sequence blending Ashtanga Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga, focusing on precise alignment, breath awareness, and steady progress.
Students moving through the Virabhadrasana (Warrior) sequence in an Ashtanga Vinyasa class. I am calling out the drishti, or gaze point, to maintain focus.
I am demonstrating the alignment for Utthita Parsvakonasana (Extended Side Angle Pose) while students practice Trikonasana. We focus on precise alignment in all standing poses.
A student practices Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana, a challenging standing balance pose that is part of the Ashtanga primary series.
Students working on Hanumanasana (splits) in an advanced asana class. We use blocks to support the hips and build flexibility gradually.
A mix of asanas in our group class, from seated forward bends to Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward-Facing Dog).
Students practicing Hanumanasana, the full split, which requires open hamstrings and hip flexors. This is an advanced pose we work towards with patience.
The class is practicing Marichyasana C, a seated twist that detoxifies the internal organs and increases spinal mobility.
About this collection
You will notice that we do not rush through the sequences. Whether we are in Virabhadrasana or working on a seated twist, I provide hands-on adjustments to help you understand the structural integrity of the pose. This is not just exercise; it is about learning the mechanics of your body while maintaining the breath.
My shala in DLF Phase 5 is built for a focused, traditional practice. I teach a combination of Ashtanga Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga, designed for both beginners and advanced students who want to move beyond simple stretching. We do not skip steps here.
We start with the fundamentals, using props like cork blocks, belts, and bolsters to support alignment when the body is not yet ready for the full expression of a pose. For instance, in our forward bends, we focus on the extension of the spine rather than just reaching the toes.
Each class is structured to be technical. I walk the floor to correct posture, ensuring students are not compressing their joints or straining unnecessarily. If you are here for a workout, you will sweat, but if you are here for the discipline, you will learn the 'why' behind every movement. We open and close with chanting, grounding the physical effort in the wider philosophy of Sanatan Dharma. Whether you are working toward complex inversions or simply building a consistent habit, the goal is 'abhyasa'—the steady, patient practice that brings real results.
