About Yoga Teacher Training
The Journey of Svādhyāya
For me, becoming a yoga teacher is not about nailing every pose. It’s more of a homecoming—digging deep, figuring out who I am through svādhyāya (self-study). I believe yoga starts with holding space for yourself, and only then can you truly hold it for others.
What You Can Expect
We begin with our Yoga Alliance certified training, the 200-hour foundational course. Here’s what I focus on with you:
- Dive into the roots of Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa course work
- Go beyond just postures: we get into sequencing, anatomy, philosophy, and how to bring mindfulness into your daily life
- You’ll find your own teaching voice, not just copy someone else
I’m not into the whole teacher-factory vibe. Dekho (look), our shala in Powai, Mumbai, is a space where you actually get seen and heard. Even in a group, every student gets personal attention and real adjustments.
Go Deeper
If you want more, I’ve got specialized paths:
- Sound healing yoga program (Nada Yoga) with singing bowls, often with guest experts
- Advanced yoga teacher workshops: inversions, arm balances, Thai Massage, and diving into texts like the Gita
Your Space
All this happens in the biggest shala in Powai—plenty of space to move, breathe, and grow. Just show up, and let’s see where your journey takes you.

My Story
Been at this practice for 10+ years now, and honestly, it’s my anchor. Svādhyāya started because I wanted a shala that felt like a homecoming, not just another studio. We’re all about self-reflection here. It’s not only movement - it’s meeting yourself on the mat. There’s magic when people come together, like 108 Surya Namaskars in the rain, or a Yoga Party when someone leaves. I show up for those moments. Come join us, let’s practice and grow.

Our Approach: More Than A Workout - Here, it’s about moving with breath, finding strength in stillness, and laughing through ‘screaming thighs’. We guide you, step by step.
