If you are simply stretching or bending without these, you are doing gymnastics, not yoga. In my classes at SharanYoga Shala, we focus on using the length of your exhalation to release deep-seated tension, ensuring that every asana is an act of healing rather than just physical exercise. I did not set out to be a teacher. For years, yoga was my secret tool to navigate a high-pressure corporate life. It was my Sādhanā—my daily prayer and survival mechanism. When I finally started sharing this space with others, it wasn't to chase perfection or show off flexible poses. It was because I realized that yoga is the most powerful method we have to shed the layers the world places on us. My approach to Hatha and Ashtanga yoga is rooted in the belief that the body is a vehicle for energy. Whether we are in my studio in Panchsheel Park or at The Quorum in Gurgaon, we do not skip the foundational work. We focus on Kriyas to cleanse, asana to build steady strength, and Pranayama to channel energy. If you are struggling with a weak gut, anxiety, or just the weight of daily stress, the goal is not to perform, but to return to yourself. ### My Philosophy on Practice * **Beyond Performance:** We work with your specific body. If you have an injury or specific health concerns like PCOS or arthritis, we modify the practice to make it therapeutic. * **The Role of Asana:** Asana is merely a doorway to meditation. My sequences are designed to build internal heat and focus, not to exhaust you. * **Community Energy:** The vibe in my shala is created by the students who show up. We practice together to find stillness, not just to complete a workout. I believe it is never too late to begin. Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned practitioner, my classes are designed to guide you toward a state of Sthiram Sukham—a balance of steadiness and ease. ## About SharanYoga I am an accidental teacher who found yoga as a way to cope with the corporate grind, not to chase perfection. My classes at SharanYoga Shala are an honest extension of my own daily Sādhanā, where we focus on healing, breath, and finding balance rather than showing off.
