Groups of 12 · the shala

Hatha, taught slowly

Classical asana, pranayama and ten honest minutes of savasana. No music, no mirrors, no performance — the room is quiet enough to hear your own breath.

₹2,800per month · 3 classes a week

Small groups of 6 · Tue & Thu

Prenatal & postnatal

Trained specifically for pregnancy — what to strengthen, what to release, what to skip entirely. Doctor's clearance required; partners welcome once a month.

₹3,500per month · includes WhatsApp support

One-on-one · home or shala

Private & therapeutic

For injuries, chronic pain, or a practice built around your body. Starts with a one-hour assessment and a written plan your physiotherapist can read.

₹1,500per session · packages available

No unlimited-classes memberships, no lock-in contracts. Yoga three times a week, done consistently, beats seven days of enthusiasm followed by a cancelled subscription.

"Flexibility is not the goal. It is a side effect. The goal is a nervous system that trusts you again."

What I tell every new student

Student stories

Three bodies, three years in

Shared with permission, names changed. Yoga's results are slow and boring — which is exactly why they last.

Desk back · started 2022

The engineer who couldn't sit through a meeting

Fifteen years of software, an L4-L5 disc bulge, and a surgeon offering an operation. His physio suggested yoga first. We spent six months on basics — hip hinges, gentle backbends, breath. Surgery indefinitely postponed, per his own orthopaedist.

Pain-free days: most

Prenatal · two pregnancies

The mother who came back with her second

Joined at 16 weeks with her first baby, terrified of everything. We worked on strength she could trust and breath for labour. Her second pregnancy, she walked in at 12 weeks like she owned the room. Her obstetrician now sends me two referrals a month.

Referred by her OB

Anxiety · started 2023

The student who slept through savasana

She came for flexibility and spent the first month unable to lie still for five minutes. We never discussed anxiety directly — we just practised. Eight months in, she fell asleep in savasana, and the whole class smiled.

Students say

Student · 6 years

"I've tried gyms, apps and two other studios. Dinesh's class is the only place where someone noticed my left knee before I mentioned it. Six years, and my mat is non-negotiable now."

Priya, 41 · sunrise batchStudent since 2020

Referring doctor

"I send my prenatal patients to Dinesh because she knows exactly where her scope ends and mine begins. Her students arrive at delivery stronger and calmer — measurably so."

Your first class is free

Come practise, or just sit and watch a class before deciding. The shala is small on purpose — if a batch is full, the waitlist is honest and moves monthly.
