About Alignment-Based Hatha Yoga
Yoga as Sadhana: My Way
Yoga for me is sadhana – a daily grind, not some Insta-fame pursuit. It’s tough, honestly. The mind wanders, body gets lazy, but sticking with it, you slowly notice clarity sneaking in. Consistency matters more than flashy progress.
Alignment Matters Most
Everything I teach is rooted in Hatha Yoga with a big focus on alignment. Every asana, whether it’s Tadasana or a handstand, is about getting the details right. I talk a lot during class, give hands-on tweaks, and sometimes you’ll catch yourself thinking, “Yaake idella (why all this)?” But it’s this precision that keeps your practice safe and smart.
Props: Don’t be Shy
Props are not a sign of weakness. In my classes, we use walls, ropes, chairs, blocks – whatever helps. For those starting out, props make poses possible without strain. For pros, props help go deeper, especially for tricky stuff like Hanumanasana or new inversions. It’s all about learning your body’s mechanics.
Your Journey, Your Speed
Whether you’re new or have been on the mat for years, there’s space here for you. Beginners start slow, get the basics right, and use props for support. Intermediate folks join regular classes to build on their base. Advanced practitioners get workshops on complex asanas and transitions, as well as traditional hatha yoga techniques.
More Than Poses
Progress is slow (nidhanakke, yaake bega?). South Indian oota and a quiet mind beat any fancy diet or shortcut. Show up, give it your best, and let your own journey unfold. That’s the real yoga, alva?

My Story
Been at this for 12 years, but still feels like the start. Yoga for me isn’t just bending and stretching - it’s Mithahara, discipline, and feeling connected. Never had coffee or tea, just water and fresh juice. My podcast 'ನನ್ನ್ ಭಾರತ' (Nann Bharath) is my way to keep spirituality simple. I love making sendige with amma, celebrating with Ottu Shavige, and teaching kids. Mindfulness, patience, and compassion matter more than anything. Life’s about growing, glowing, and being real.
My Work
Yoga for all ages, including kids - I teach yoga to beginners, advanced folks, and kids (4-12), mixing mindfulness for children with spiritual talks and my podcast.
Sadhana, not just exercise - Progress takes time. I guide those who want real change, not quick fixes. Trust the process.
Practice with props and Kannada instructions - Classes often in Kannada. Parvagilla, I help you use walls, belts, chairs. Nann jothe practice maadi.
Kids’ classes with desi games - We play traditional games, meditate, and learn discipline. Desi games yoga class helps kids grow up sorted.
Yoga beyond the mat - It’s about your food, thoughts, and life. I teach traditional diet yoga and deep philosophy, not just postures.
