Inside R1 Dance and Yoga Studio
Welcome to my dream space in Yelahanka. I built this studio to be a home for your movement, passion, and peace.
A look at the journey of building my dream studio from the ground up. Every step, from the empty space to the finished floor, was a step towards creating this home for dancers.

A look at our second studio hall, a long, mirrored space perfect for focusing on technique and form. The natural light makes it a beautiful place to practice during the day.
This is our main dance hall, complete with professional flooring and lighting. I designed it to be a versatile space for everything from high-energy hip-hop to calm yoga sessions.

About Our Studio: The R1 Space
When I built R1 at the Padukone-Dravid Centre, my non-negotiable was the flooring. We installed a professional sprung dance floor because I know exactly how punishing hard surfaces are on your shins and knees during jumps or intense floor work. This space is designed so you can push your limits and focus on your rhythm without the constant fear of injury.
Creating this studio was a process of manifestation. Every detail, from the acoustics to the lighting, was chosen to support a diverse range of movement.
Why the R1 Space is Different
- Professional Tech: We use acoustic soundproofing so you can hear the beats clearly, not just feel the noise. The lighting is setup for both high-energy sessions and calm yoga practices.
- The Vibe: It is more than just a room with mirrors. It is an environment where we sweat, mess up, and laugh together. My goal was to create a place where you feel safe to let go of your inhibitions.
- Location: We are situated at the Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence in Yelahanka. The atmosphere here is inspiring, surrounded by people pushing their physical limits, which only adds to the 'josh' inside our hall.
Whether you are here for a high-octane hip-hop session or a grounding yoga practice, this studio is built to hold your energy. My Nataraja idol stands watch in the corner, keeping us connected to the roots of dance even while we practice modern styles.
