Yoga Practice in Bengaluru: Movement and Stillness
A look at how we move, breathe, and connect—from the open air of Cubbon Park to the focused calm of the studio.
This is what it’s all about. Finding a moment of peace together under the big trees of Cubbon Park. The sunlight, the fresh air, and the collective breath make these outdoor yoga sessions truly special.
AcroYoga is a practice of trust and letting go. Here, we're exploring an Urdhva Dhanurasana (Upward Bow Pose) variation, relying on balance and communication. It’s a playful way to build strength and connection.
The yoga wall is an incredible tool for therapeutic practice. In this Iyengar-inspired sequence, I'm assisting a student with spinal decompression, using the ropes to safely lengthen the spine and release tension in the lower back.
A helping hand can make all the difference. In our group classes, I provide personal adjustments to help you find better alignment and go deeper into a pose, like this Parivrtta Parsvakonasana (Revolved Side Angle Pose).
This is a glimpse into my personal practice, moving into Vrischikasana (Scorpion Pose). It's a journey of patience, showing how consistent effort allows the body to open up in ways I never expected.
Sometimes the best moments are the unplanned ones. Here's a moment of pure 'sukun' (peace) during Savasana at our International Yoga Day session, with a furry friend joining in for the final rest.
A quiet flow in the studio, moving through a sequence that includes Sirsasana (Headstand) and Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward-Facing Dog). The indoor space allows for a different kind of focus and introspection.
About this collection
In these sessions, I do not just instruct; I guide you through a conversation with your body. We might spend the first twenty minutes on breathwork and joint mobility, or move straight into prop-assisted work using the rope wall if your back needs support, depending entirely on what your body is telling you that day.
Why Featured? This collection highlights the variety in my teaching—moving from the open, communal energy of our Sunday sessions in Cubbon Park to the controlled, focused environment of my Malleshwaram studio. My practice isn't about fitting a specific mold or hitting a pose for a photo. It is about building a sustainable routine.
My approach is rooted in experience, including my own journey through shoulder injuries and ligament tears. Because of that, I prioritize mobility and skeletal alignment over deep, forced stretches. Whether you are coming in for a fluid Hatha Vinyasa flow, seeking spinal decompression through Iyengar rope wall therapy, or looking for the playful connection of partner yoga, we focus on what works for your anatomy.
We practice with props, we use breathwork to manage the mind, and we don't shy away from admitting when a pose is difficult. If you are looking for a space to show up as you are—tired, energized, stiff, or ready to flow—you will find it here.
