These visuals capture the alignment, balance, and quiet focus I bring to every session at my Gurgaon studio. ## Photos and videos - ![Strength comes from overcoming what you once thought you couldn't.

I don’t teach from a manual; I teach from 17 years of practice in Gurgaon, focusing on alignment that you can actually carry into your day. When you join my group sessions or a private class, we aren't just stretching—we are building a foundation for your joints and mind that lasts. My yoga practice is built on the concept of 'Sthira Sukham Asanam'—finding steadiness and ease in every posture. Many people approach yoga with the goal of touching their toes or achieving a complex pose, but my focus is different. I believe that if you master your breath, you master your mind. At my studio in DLF Phase 4, we move beyond the superficial aspects of fitness. My approach combines traditional Hatha Yoga with functional movement, ensuring that the strength you build on the mat helps you manage the demands of daily life. We use props like blocks, wheels, and straps not as crutches, but as bridges to help you find better alignment and protect your joints. **What to expect in our sessions:** * **Mindful Movement:** We focus on slow, controlled transitions rather than rushing through sequences. * **Breathwork:** Pranayama is integrated into every class to reduce stress and improve mental clarity. * **Core Stability:** We emphasize functional strength that supports your spine and posture, which is essential whether you are a beginner or a regular practitioner. After 17 years, I have seen how consistent practice transforms people. It is not about perfection; it is about showing up for yourself, even on the days when you feel resistance. Whether you are looking for Hatha yoga to ground yourself, Vinyasa to build heat, or specific recovery programs like post-natal fitness, my goal is to guide you toward a body that feels capable, steady, and truly your own. ## About Komal Sodhi I’m Komal, and I have spent the last 17 years in Gurgaon teaching that yoga is a way to live, not just a way to work out. I don't care about extreme flexibility or fancy Instagram poses—I care about how you feel when you step off the mat. My studio in DLF Phase 4 is a space where we treat every breath as a chance to find a little more peace.
