It is about sweat, grit, and showing up for yourself when you do not feel like it. Here is a look at my personal practice on and off the mat. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A beautiful morning practicing Natarajasana (Lord of the Dance Pose) outdoors.

My practice in Marol, specifically at House of Happiness and JDS Gym, is about showing up, aligning, and doing the work. Whether we are grinding through static Hatha holds or pushing through high-intensity Vinyasa, the goal is always consistency, not just looking the part for the camera. It is not just about hitting the pose, it is about why you are there. When I am on the mat, I am not thinking about lighting or angles. I am focused on alignment, building heat, and shutting out the noise. In my sessions at House of Happiness or JDS Gym in Marol, we apply that same philosophy. We start with Hatha basics to understand your body. Why are your shoulders hunched? How do you engage your core? Once you have that foundation, we move into Vinyasa flows to get your heart rate up. Mondays and Wednesdays are for static holds, building that mental and physical grit. Fridays are for Vinyasa, focusing on speed, heat, and fluid movement. My students are not looking for a quick fix or a zen aesthetic that dissolves the moment they step off the mat. They show up at 07:30 AM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays because they want to build real strength, relieve back pain, or just de-stress after a chaotic week. You will sweat, you might curse, and you will definitely leave feeling stronger than you arrived. If you are done with the filler and ready to actually do the work, show up on the mat. We have space for you. ## About Tara Menezes Hey, I am Tara. I am the one who will push you through a tough flow while laughing at how hard we are all breathing.
