What is Fascia? What Does it Have to do with Yoga?

Posted on May 31, 2019March 12, 2019 by yogacentral

In recent times, I have come across the word fascia a lot. It is not one that we learned much about in school biology class so it got me wondering. However, the idea that we need to protect and strengthen our fascia using exercises, yoga and so on has been widely circulated. So I decided to understand a bit about fascia and about the importance of this tissue. What is Fasc...

Protect Your Throat Chakra, Start Speaking Up!

As most of us know, there are various chakras located at different points in the body. These are the focal nodes of the non-physical or ‘subtle’ (spiritual) body which regulate the flow of energy within the body. Meditation, yoga, mudras, kriyas, breathing exercises are all oriented towards maintaining proper balance of the chakras and towards the normal and unrestricted flow ...

Should Schools Include Yoga? What Are the Benefits?

Posted on April 30, 2019March 5, 2019 by yogacentral

I have always thought that parents should start their kids off on yoga early in life; that parents can do yoga with their kids. This is great for kids for so many reasons: it is great family time and it helps create a healthy habit for life! So I feel it would be a great idea for yoga to be made a part of the school curriculum. It would be great for kids and it would be someth...

When It Comes to Yoga – Small Steps Will Take You Far

Posted on April 20, 2019March 5, 2019 by yogacentral

I have always said, it is possible to tailor one's yoga practice according to one's age, ability, fitness levels and flexibility. Yoga can be as simple and as challenging as one wants it to be. The yogi can get progressively better in the sort of yoga aasans they do and can also increase the difficulty level of the aasans over time. The important thing is to do this gradually;...

Information Overload – How It Hampers Us & How Yoga Can Help

Posted on April 10, 2019March 5, 2019 by yogacentral

Consider how much information we are bombarded with each day: from the arrival of the newspaper in the morning to the news from dozens of TV news channels; social media inputs, the headline notifications on our handheld devices beeping at us every few minutes… it can all be quite overwhelming. We cannot switch it all off; after all we are social beings who have to keep in touc...

Five Signs You Need to Meditate Now

Posted on March 31, 2019February 23, 2019 by yogacentral

The benefits of meditation cannot be overstated. Numerous studies have proved these. Therapists and counselors routinely include meditation in their therapy sessions. However let’s leave aside the research and the researchers for a while. Let us look within ourselves; examine our lives and the problems we face and then decide whether we need to meditate. Do you see or experien...

Empower Yourself – By Letting Yourself Change Your Mind

Posted on March 21, 2019February 23, 2019 by yogacentral

Conventional wisdom told us how it is important to be resolute and to commit to one course of action. We are told to be single minded and to follow through on whatever decision we take. However, it occurs to me, this doesn’t have to be so. Sometimes rigidly following a course of action can be detrimental. Course correction can be vital in a lot of cases. Remember, to change yo...

Yoga or Gym – What’s the Better Choice for You?

Posted on March 11, 2019February 23, 2019 by yogacentral

The other day I was speaking to a friend who has a chronic backache problem. I suggested that she start yoga. She said however that she regularly went to her local gym and that she was fairly fit; she said she didn’t need to do yoga. Now I absolutely agree that going to the gym or doing yoga is entirely one's own choice and I admit that as a yoga instructor I may be a bit bias...

Don’t Have A Consistent Yoga Practice? It’s Not Too Late

Posted on March 1, 2019February 12, 2019 by yogacentral

As someone who practices and teaches yoga, I cannot imagine my life without yoga. Yoga means stretching, exercising, meditating each day for strength, health and flexibility while getting rid of toxicity from my body and life. In spite of knowing about the many benefits of yoga, many of us struggle to incorporate yoga into our everyday lives; find it difficult to be regular an...

The most perfect yoga class in Bandra! The instructor, Shashi, is fabulous. It's a perfect combination of Pranayama (breathing exercises) and the Asanas (postures). Also, she has complete knowledge of her profession and will make you hold postures which ultimately give the utmost benefits of doing Yoga. Totally recommend!!

I have been attending Sashi's yoga classes since the last 3 years. Sashi's understanding of the human body and mind and how each aasan affects the mind and body is explained so.beautifully. Her mix of aasans and almost each session is different than the other with almost no repetition of the aasans is astounding. My blood pressure has been in control due to her classes. Also outstanding location of the studio far away from the hustle bustle despite being at the heart of pali hill is another plus. Wish Sashi all the best.
