Hands-on Yoga Teacher Training in Mumbai
Master the art of teaching with practical, small-group workshops designed for real-world growth.
This is the core of what we do: breaking down adjustments so you understand the anatomy and intention behind every touch. In this clip, we demonstrate a safe and effective adjustment for Prasarita Padottanasana, focusing on proper stance and pressure to help a student deepen the forward fold without risk.
Our 'Cues, Alignments & Adjustments' workshop is where theory meets practice. This video highlights the key skills you will gain, from learning hands-on adjustments and impactful cueing to finding your authentic teaching voice and forming a deeper connection with your students.
A snapshot from our teacher training workshop, focusing on a hands-on adjustment for Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose). We guide you on how to provide support that encourages spinal extension and opens the chest, ensuring your student feels secure and can explore the pose more deeply.
The journey of learning is filled with effort, breakthroughs, and a lot of joy. Here, we're working on Dhanurasana (Bow Pose), finding the balance between a deep backbend and a supportive adjustment that makes the challenge feel empowering and fun.

A typical workshop moment where we pause for discussion and questions. We believe in interactive learning, ensuring every teacher-in-training feels seen, heard, and fully understands the principles we're exploring together on the mat.
A warm welcome from our founder, Samiksha Shetty. Her passion is to guide aspiring and current teachers in discovering their own unique path and teaching style, drawing from her deep knowledge of yoga and anatomy.
About Featured
You can watch dozens of tutorials, but there is no substitute for the feedback loop of a live class. We focus on the things the camera misses, like how to properly position your feet before adjusting a student, how to use your breath as a cue, and how to hold space for someone who is struggling with a pose.
Our 'Featured' workshops are built on a simple premise: teaching is a skill you have to practice. Whether you are a fresh teacher looking for your voice or an experienced trainer wanting to refine your eye, these sessions in our Khar West studio are designed to move you forward.
Why these workshops work
We keep our batches small, usually 12 to 15 people. This isn't just for comfort; it is necessary for the kind of work we do. You get actual hands-on time. We work on the mechanics of alignment, breaking down poses into muscles, joints, and skeletal variations. You will learn the 'why' behind an adjustment so you aren't just memorizing positions but actually understanding how to help a student get deeper and safer into a stretch.
The Samiksha Shetty approach
Samiksha leads most of these sessions, bringing her own background from law into the yoga space. She is known for breaking down complex anatomy into plain language. She won't just tell you to adjust a hip; she will show you how to use your own body to support a student without hurting yourself or them. You will learn to cue for clarity, not for volume, so your instructions land the first time you say them.
What to expect
Expect a mix of theory and lab work. We spend time on prep flows, prop usage—like blocks, straps, and bolsters—and partner drills that simulate real class scenarios. It is interactive, it is messy, and it is exactly how you become a better teacher. If you are curious about anatomy for yoga or just want to feel more confident in a room full of students, this is the place to start.
