Whether we are practicing Vinyasa flow or deep breathing, the goal is to observe your thoughts and emotions, not just your movement. I believe if you can understand your internal dialogue, you can handle the chaos of Delhi life outside the studio. My practice is about balancing the light and the shadow. I believe life is a play of duality—there will be chaos, and there will be peace. In my sessions, we integrate Hatha and Transformational Yoga to build that balance. We don't just focus on asanas; we dive into Pranayama, Kriyas, and meditation because the mental work is where real change happens. Why focus on the mind? Because every action begins with a thought. My sessions are designed to slow you down. Whether you are looking for Hatha yoga in South Delhi or online guidance, we go at your pace. No rushing. We focus on 'apne tail bone pe dhyan' (focus on your tail bone) and other micro-adjustments that help you safely deepen your practice. What about the goofy side? Yes, I am serious about my practice, but I am also human. We laugh, we mess up, and we move on. Yoga should not make you feel restricted; it should make you feel free. If you are looking for a teacher who listens as much as they instruct, you will find that here. Join me to explore not just the postures, but the intent behind them, helping you feel more grounded and capable in your daily life. ## About Manikarnika I’m Manikarnika. I teach yoga in Delhi, but I’m a mountain girl at heart, always balancing my calm teacher side with my silly, goofy self. I don’t just show you how to bend; I help you find the quiet space inside you, whether it's on a mat in Chattarpur or through a screen.
