It is about accountability, healing, and getting back up. ## Photos and videos - ![A quiet moment of candlelit meditation at home.

Whether I'm using light weights to deepen a forward fold or finding stillness in candlelit meditation, the goal is to connect with what is happening inside, not just what I look like. If you're tired of yoga classes that ignore your emotions and focus only on flexibility, this is where we actually start. ### More Than Just Asana Yoga is often sold as a way to look good, but that is not my vibe. I teach from a place of experience, having moved through my own history of body issues, trauma, and stress. My Asana practice is designed to be functional, not aesthetic. We focus on: * **Somatic Release:** Using Hatha and Ashtanga flows to identify where you are holding stress in your body. We don't just stretch; we release. * **Nervous System Regulation:** We use breathwork (Pranayama) to move the body from 'fight or flight' into relaxation modes. This is vital if you deal with anxiety or hormonal imbalances like PCOD. * **Accountability:** I don't believe in holding your hand through a lack of effort. My sessions are high-accountability spaces. If you show up, we work hard. ### The Hybrid Approach My practice is a blend of styles tailored to sedentary lifestyles and those needing emotional healing. I use props—yes, even dumbbells—to help you safely access deep stretches, especially for stiff shoulders and hips. Whether you join my online group sessions or catch me at a pop-up in a Bangalore park, the philosophy remains the same: Yoga se hi hoga (It happens through yoga), but only when you are honest about what you are feeling. Expect a mix of movement, meditation, and occasionally some real talk about why we are doing this. It’s time to stop fighting your body and start listening to it. ## About Gurpreet Kaur Hi, I’m Gurpreet. I’m a mountain-loving, straight-talking yoga teacher who believes the body keeps the score.
