Over time, in the popular imagination yoga has become associated more with women than with men. However, my yoga class in Mumbai is popular with men as well as women. I firmly believe that yoga is as beneficial for men as it is for women and that men actually need to do yoga for the mental benefit as much as for physical fitness goals. Clearly, I am not the only one who thinks ...

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.
