Group Ashtanga Yoga Classes in Delhi
Finding your flow is easier when you are moving with a community. Whether you want the structure of a led session or the freedom of Mysore style, we build that rhythm together in our Delhi shala.
A snapshot from a group class where I'm observing and guiding students through their flow. My focus is always on maintaining a supportive space where everyone can explore their practice.
For me, practice is therapy. Here's a view from my perspective during a class, a moment of calm and presence amidst the flow of the group.
The focus and collective energy in a large workshop are incredible. Here, the Delhi yoga community came together for a powerful session, moving in unison.
A moment of shared stillness and meditation during a group practice. This is where we quiet the mind after the physical work, connecting to the deeper benefits of yoga.
In my classes, I provide gentle, hands-on assists to help you understand the alignment of a pose. Here, I'm helping a student find more space in Supta Padangusthasana.
A happy baby pose with a little help. Hands-on adjustments can make a pose more accessible and help release tension in a safe, supported way.
Working on a forward fold with a student. Using a strap can help maintain alignment and integrity in the pose, making it about the journey, not just the destination.
Leading the class in a moment of quiet intention before we begin to move. Setting an intention helps to ground the practice and bring mindfulness to our movements.
Guiding students through a foundational backbend, Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose). This pose is excellent for strengthening the back and opening the chest.

About The Energy of the Shala: Group Classes
Mysore style sessions here are unique because you work through your own sequence at your own pace while I move through the room offering hands-on adjustments. It means you get the support of a group environment without the pressure to keep up with anyone else.
How Group Classes Work
Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, our group sessions are designed to accommodate your rhythm. We focus on consistency rather than perfect shapes.
Mysore Style vs Led Primary
In our Mysore style batches, you practice the Ashtanga sequence at a pace that suits your body. I am present throughout to provide verbal cues and physical adjustments that help you deepen your postures safely. On Fridays, we hold a Led Primary class where we move in unison, following the traditional count. This helps build collective energy and focus.
What You Need to Know
We provide blocks and straps, and our studio is fully air-conditioned with wooden flooring. You do not need to bring anything other than yourself. If you are new to the practice, we suggest starting with our introductory course before dropping into these group sessions, but feel free to reach out if you have prior experience.
Location and Accessibility
Our main shala is located in Greater Kailash, and we serve the broader Delhi NCR area. We keep our batches small to ensure that everyone gets the individual attention they need to refine their practice.
Sonakshi Dhamija
I'm Sonakshi, and I'm the one guiding these sessions at The Shala. I built this space because I needed an anchor when burnout hit, and I wanted to create a place where you can show up exactly as you are. We're keeping it real with no perfection, just practice and community!
