We focus on adapted Surya Namaskar and chair-based movements that honor how your body moves today. I keep groups intimate because I want to actually see you, offer real-time guidance on your form, and ensure you feel supported, not pushed, through every movement. Aging does not mean stopping; it means shifting how we approach our practice. My classes are for anyone looking to maintain spinal health, increase range of motion, or simply find a space to breathe without the pressure of a traditional gym environment. ### My Approach I lean on somatic principles, which means we prioritize internal sensation over aesthetic perfection. If you are joining from my studios in Bengaluru (Shoonya Centre) or Jaipur (Yog Yug or Maah 間), we work in cozy, quiet spaces. If you are joining online, I make sure my verbal cues are clear and detailed so you never feel like you're missing out. We frequently use household props like cushions, sturdy books, or chairs to bridge the gap and make every movement accessible. ### The 'Senior' Distinction We often blend chair yoga with gentle Yin holds lasting 2 to 5 minutes. This is particularly helpful for deep tissue release and calming the nervous system. It is not just physical exercise; it is a social hour. We chat, we share, and occasionally we even do a little happy dancing. The goal is connection, not just correction. ### Getting Started Whether you are looking for private therapeutic guidance for injury rehabilitation or want to join the Saturday community group, we always start with a brief conversation about your specific pain points and mobility goals. You don't need a fancy setup—just comfy clothes and an open mind. Come as you are, and we will find the right shapes to suit you. ## About Navya Sah I’m Navya, and I don't believe in 'one size fits all' movement. I spend my weeks between filmmaking and yoga, and this practice is my anchor—I love sharing that quiet grounding with the elders in my community. We keep things light, real, and always at your own pace.
