Behind the Scenes: A Look at My Yoga Practice
Capturing the preparation, practice, and quiet moments that define our studio life in Gurgaon.
A quick tour of the studio setup for a shoot day. From the green screen to the lighting and camera rig, this is a glimpse of what it takes to get ready to film.
Here I am in the middle of a shoot, discussing the importance of reconnecting with your body and breath. A reset is a subtle shift in direction, a quiet check-in with how you feel.
This clip shows the view from the camera's perspective as I prepare to film a segment on a "five-minute focus reset." It's a reminder to pause when your brain feels like it has too many tabs open.
Another angle from our shoot, showing the professional camera and lighting setup. Here, I am guiding a meditation, instructing to close the eyes, drop the shoulders, and notice the breath.
This is a compilation of moments from a shoot day, from a selfie to demonstrating asanas like Trikonasana and Marjaryasana-Bitilasana. The goal is always to change the world, one breath at a time.
About Behind the Scenes
You might see a camera rig and a green screen in these photos, but filming isn't just about production. Every session we record is designed as a sadhana—a disciplined practice. I make sure the lighting, the incense, and even the silence in the room are set exactly as they would be if you were sitting on the mat with me. It is all to ensure the energy transfers, so you do not just watch a video, but actually feel the shift in your own breath.
Creating a digital space for yoga is an extension of what we do in our DLF Phase 4 studio. When you see these behind-the-scenes clips, you are looking at the effort that goes into making ancient breathwork techniques and meditation accessible. Whether it is setting up the diya (lamp) for a mantra session or adjusting the frame for a Pranayama demonstration, the goal remains the same: steadying the mind.
Why does this production effort matter?
- Authenticity in Practice: I do not believe in performance yoga. When I film a five-minute focus reset, it is a real-time practice designed to help you pause.
- Mindfulness over Aesthetics: We use props like bolsters and blocks not as cheats, but as bridges to better alignment. If you look closely at the shoots, you will see how we set the space to encourage Sthira Sukham Asanam—a posture that is steady and easeful.
- Gurgaon Community Roots: My 17 years here have taught me that yoga is not just a workout; it is a connection. Bringing these sessions online is my way of keeping that connection alive for those of you working through stress or recovering at home.
If you have been watching these clips and waiting for a sign to start, do not wait for perfection. We learn by showing up. Tapas (the fire of discipline) is ignited by the simple act of rolling out your mat. Whether you join my small group meditation batches or book a therapeutic 1-on-1 session to work through anxiety, we start exactly where you are.
