As a yoga instructor, I hope also to be an eternal student – someone who continues to absorb, grow and branch out in ways that help me evolve as a teacher and a person. I find it both instructive and amusing to learn about some rather unconventional types of yoga such as puppy yoga and some other, rather silly trends as well. Another concept that I find interesting is of facia...

Let me start by saying that I am not offering some magical cure for menstrual pain. I am well aware that some women who have very painful menses or dysmenorrhea need medical attention.

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.
