About Yoga Workshops & Intensives
Why I Hold These Workshops
I run these yoga workshops because sometimes, you just need more than a regular class to really feel the practice. For me, it’s not just about the poses - it’s like quietly building something inside, bit by bit. These weekends are a chance to step out of routine and get into the heart of Ashtanga.
Who Will Feel at Home
Whether you’re new or you’ve been rolling out your mat for years, there’s space here. If you’re starting out, I guide you through every step, making sure you’ve got a strong base. If you’re already practicing, we’ll dive deeper into your sadhana and really get into the roots - not just the physical stuff, but the why behind it.
What We Actually Do
- Focused Asana sessions: We start with Surya Namaskar and move through the Primary Series, paying attention to what your body needs.
- Yoga philosophy workshop: I share bits from the classical texts and explain the parampara (lineage) I follow, thanks to my teacher Sharath Jois.
- Mantra chanting: We practice together, feeling how sound connects us to tradition.
The Group Vibe
Honestly, the energy is different when we practice as a group. There’s a real sense of learning together, sharing, and just being present. Sometimes it’s hard, sometimes it’s peaceful, but it’s always real. You’ll leave with a deeper connection to both the practice and yourself.

My Story
I’m Sanjana, started as an architect but yoga pulled me in, full heart. Mysore trips are my penance, and learning from Guruji Sharath Jois is everything. Level 2 authorised, I dig deep into tradition—parampara means a lot. Did my MSc in Yoga, even dived into Sanskrit just so I could read the Gita with feeling. Off the mat, I’m all about ragi idiyappam, vegan experiments, and quiet mountain walks with family. Yoga, food, nature—sab kuch ek hi hai (it’s all one).
My Work
Traditional Ashtanga Yoga Classes - I teach Mysore-style Ashtanga Yoga online and in Bangalore, plus yoga therapy for arthritis and insomnia.
Personalised Mysore-Style Practice - Classes at my home-shala, with individual adjustments. Beginners, seniors—sab welcome (everyone’s welcome).
Inner Journey Focus - Not chasing poses—using asana to clear friction and find truth inside. It’s about growing within.
Holistic Living - Yoga flows into daily life—food, discipline, self-compassion. Satvic cooking and mindful habits matter.
