While I have been conducting my yoga classes for many years now, I have been a yoga therapist for some of that time.

Puppy Yoga – May Not Be for Everyone but It’s Fun

For those who love dogs, the very idea of having puppies around is a heart melting concept. Those bright-eyed, frisky, curious, playful little creatures never fail to gladden the heart and put a smile on the face.

Of course there are several other types of fasts that many of my other students also observe – for religious reason...

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.
