The joy of travel is of course matchless. However, traveling to a far-off place also involves some fairly uncomfortable travel and some possible dangers such as cramps, stiffness, dehydration and even DVT (deep vein thrombosis).

Shavasana – Why the Corpse Pose is So Important

Posted on August 21, 2019September 5, 2019 by yogacentral

Among one of the seemingly easy poses of yoga is shavasana or the corpse (dead body) pose. It may seem easy but it is not. It may seem as though this aasan is not an important one; however as a yoga instructor, I find that this is also inaccurate. The corpse aasan is important, and it is also surprisingly difficult, I feel. Students doing Shavasana at a Yoga Central class ...

Posted on July 21, 2019March 24, 2019 by yogacentral

They say sitting is the new smoking. There are some alarming statistics out there about how dangerous sitting is for the human body; how the body is simply not designed to sit in a chair, largely immobile for most of its waking hours. And yet, for many of us, there is no option but to sit – our jobs and our lifestyles demand this. So what can we do to lower the harmful effects...

Mindful Eating – Why & How to Do This

Posted on July 11, 2019March 22, 2019 by yogacentral

Most of us eat the way we do a lot of other things – walking, fidgeting with the hands or brushing the teeth. In fact, a lot of us brush our teeth more consciously and deliberately than we eat! So why is that a problem? Eating is just a daily function that we perform several times a day; isn’t it? Why then is it important to make a habit of mindful eating? Also, how do we eat ...

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.
