Ashtanga Yoga Classes for All Levels in Delhi
Ashtanga is more than just a sequence of poses—it’s an anchor. Whether you are stepping onto a mat for the first time or looking to deepen your flow, my sessions are about showing up as you are, not about being perfect.
My "Introduction to Ashtanga" course is designed for beginners. This graphic highlights the Bakasana (Crow Pose), showing the strength and balance you can build with consistent practice.
I provide hands-on adjustments to help students find proper alignment and deepen their experience in a pose, like this gentle assist in Ananda Balasana (Happy Baby Pose).
Working closely with a student in a forward fold. My goal is to provide personalized guidance and support, helping each person progress safely on their own journey.
A short video of my personal practice, flowing through a sequence of asanas. This is the practice that grounds me and which I love to share with others.
A short flow demonstrating the transition in and out of arm balances. The practice is a journey of building strength, focus, and self-trust, one breath at a time.
Finding joy in Navasana (Boat Pose). The Ashtanga practice challenges the body, but it also brings a sense of lightness and stability.
Practicing Parivrtta Parsvakonasana (Revolved Side Angle Pose) in the forest. This deep twist detoxifies the body and challenges your balance and focus.
Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) on a rock. This pose is a great example of how yoga teaches us to find stability and expansion, even on uneven ground.
Kukkutasana (Rooster Pose) took me a long time to learn. It's a reminder that with patience and consistent practice, what seems impossible can become possible.
A moment of quiet reflection in Gomukhasana (Cow Face Pose). The practice isn't just about the physical shapes, but about the inner stillness you cultivate.
About The Ashtanga Practice: For All Levels
If you’re worried about keeping up with a fast-paced group class, the Mysore style is the best way to learn. You practice at your own pace while I move around the room giving personal, hands-on adjustments. It’s not about following a loud instructor—it’s about learning the sequence in a way that actually works for your body.
Building a Consistent Practice
Many people think Ashtanga is only for the flexible or the already-fit. That’s a myth. I started my journey not by being 'good' at yoga, but by just showing up, day after day.
My classes at The Shala in Greater Kailash focus on the Mysore style of practice. This is the traditional way to learn: you work through the sequence at your own pace, and I provide individual adjustments and guidance as you need them. It removes the pressure of performing or trying to sync your breath with 30 other people.
Why Ashtanga?
It’s not just about arm balances or the fancy shapes you see on social media. It’s about the routine. The repetition calms the nervous system, especially if you’re living a high-stress life in the city.
- Beginners are welcome: You don't need to know anything before walking in. I love working with those who are brand new.
- Focus on breath: The movement is secondary to the breathing. We prioritize finding your rhythm before we worry about the depth of a pose.
- A community space: We aren't a silent, intimidating studio. We’re a group that supports each other through the good days and the days when we feel stiff or tired.
Whether you’re joining my week-long foundation course or a regular morning class, my goal is the same: to give you a tool that helps you feel a little more human and a little less overwhelmed.

I’m Sonakshi, and I guide the practice at The Shala. I’ve dealt with my own burnout, so my classes aren't about chasing perfect poses—they’re about using movement to find calm when the world feels too loud.
