About Yoga & Culinary Experiences

Yoga Meets Food - My Way

For me, cooking is meditation and yoga is home. I keep things simple, whether it's on the mat or in the kitchen. My approach is all about aharviharacharvichar - basically, what you eat, how you live, and what you think, all matter. If you’re looking for a space where yoga and food come together without any fuss, you’re in the right place.

How I Blend Yoga & Cooking

I run half-day events in Mumbai, where we start with a strong Ashtanga Vinyasa or Mysore-style flow, focusing on breath and movement.
After yoga, we sit down together for a full Kerala Sadhya - think a plant-based Indian feast, served on banana leaves. It’s satvik, meaning it’s pure and balancing, not heavy or too spicy.
Sometimes, especially during Onam or Vishu, I host small, home-style meals at my place. No restaurant vibes, just real festival food, good company, and a Kerala feel.

What You Can Expect

Mindful eating workshops that help you tune in to your body.
Traditional yoga and food event in a relaxed, friendly setting.
Loads of South Indian classics - dosa, unniyappam, high-protein salads, and simple soups. I keep it healthy, vegetarian, and close to what I grew up with.

If you want to experience yoga and food the way we do in Kerala, join me. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s magic, but it’s always real.

My Story

Hey, I’m Anil Chandran. You’ll find me on the mat or in the kitchen, both places I call home. Born and raised in Kerala, I grew up watching my mom whip up Unniyappam and the whole Onam sadhya—now I do the same, even when it’s just me. Cooking is meditation for me, just like yoga. That’s why I started 'Yoga Prasadam'—we move, we eat, we connect. Soul and body, both happy. Come join sometime!
